What visitors say
Really excellent campsite with honestly the best facilities of any site that we've stayed at...plenty of cubicles with loo and shower combined (mixed gender). 16 cubicles, 12 I think with showers. The site was pretty busy but there was always plenty of cubicle availability. Showers are push button but nice pressure and good instant heat. No pressure to hurry up, and plenty of space to dry/dress etc. Hairdryers in corridor (20p for 3 mins). There is a massive, warm, day room, a massive kitchen area for washing up, microwaving etc, and a massive laundry room with commercial, coin operated, machines (2 washers and 2 dryers) with space for hanging up too. Close to town, ferries, and three supermarkets. I could happily spend any length of time here and be very comfortable!

What a fantastic campground. The location is perfect, great facilities; never have to wait for a shower or toilet, it all felt very cozy and welcoming. The grounds themselves were green and peaceful. Everyone was friendly. All within an easy walk to the city center and right next to a bus stop. They even help you out with late check in/out if you’re on a late ferry. The warden Carol was an absolute joy to have around. I really loved talking and getting to know her. She was super helpful and really cares about making sure all campers have the best experience possible. All the staff were kind and helpful, laid back and friendly. I highly recommend staying here and plan to come back. Thank you Carol!

A town centre site which offers all town amenities near by. Only 4 showers available to use even though there is twice this many which meant long queues! A nightmare when the site is practically full. Washing machine and tumble dryer set up to use you money with settings that run in 15min increments and the wash taking 35! I didn't appreciate being followed around by the staff checking what I was doing! I'm a grown up I won't touch what I'm not supposed to nor take what isn't mine! Showers very dirty despite the staff 'always cleaning'! Good points, several fridge/freezers available for all to use!
