What visitors say
Cannot recommend this place enough! The owners were lovely and have made this campsite very homely with cute facilities and decorations. We werent originally planning to eat dinner in their bus restaurant but we are so glad we did! The prices are very reasonable and the handmade pizzas were delicious! You have to book your shower time in advance which we were sceptical about at first but it worked well and meant everything was clean. We would absolutely come again.

Only stopped to drain and top up our motorhome, which we were able to do for a very modest £7.50. Services work well. Staff very friendly and stopped for a chat while our tank drained out. Please use sites like this instead of dumping your liquid waste out in this beautiful landscape!

Camped here after my first day cycling jogle, will be hard to top for the rest of the trip. Got a nice little pitch to myself, I think £8 for a tent with bicycle pitch. Clean hot showers and also serve amazing cheap food, pizza was especially good. Couldn't ask for anything more

Fern here twice now. Great and well maintained with a lovely view of the sea. They clearly take a lot of pride in it. The best facilities of any campsite. Sincerely. The toilets and showers are proper individual rooms and are immaculate. Great food available and eating in the bus is great.
