[Melanie Read](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/115909253657739109206/reviews) ★★★★★

Beautiful well kept campsite with lots of flowers planted around the site. Great facilities, clean toilets and showers, reasonably priced bar with live music on the weekend. Allows BBQs campfires and dogs. Quiet 10-15 minute walk to the beach. We went as a group of 8 families and Grant organised a great spot for us with plenty of room for the kids to play games. Thanks for a Grant for a great stay.

Stayed just for one night. It was perfectly located, with very clean toilets and showers. We couldn’t have found the owners/staff more friendly. Basic campsite, but with everything we needed. Thankyou. We will stay again.

Incredibly friendly staff and clean facilities. Had a drink from the bar too and was reasonably priced. Easy to find and a short walk to the beach, shops and local pub.
