Non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked: Wild and peaceful and with possibly the most magnificent view of any campsite in the country. Add this to flush toilets and warm showers and it is as close to nirvana as you’ll get.
Disliked: People with drones. Much sloping…which was ok as there was still plenty of flat space.

Non-electric grass campervan pitch
Liked: We absolutely loved (and extended) our stay here. Incredible views, stunning walks and immaculate facilities. I’ve stayed in hotels with worse bathrooms! Would have extended for longer if I didn’t have a pesky job to get back to.

Non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked: Great views, very good and clean toilets & showers, which were nice and hot. Good recycling point. The bit nearer the sea is very exposed, so if the weather is unfavourable a windbreak or two - as the wind changed direction several times during our stay and some guylines to help steady them would be advisable, especially if you want to enjoy a fire or alfresco cooking and dining.

Non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked: Incredible site with beautiful views. Busy but spacious, plenty of room to pitch a tent away from neighbours. The nearby SW coastal path walk is stunning. Facilities were clean and well-stocked. We received a very warm welcome.
Disliked: Be prepared - it can be extremely windy!

Non-electric grass campervan pitch
Liked: We absolutely loved our stay as a young couple travelling in our campervan joining the pitch with a few friends. The site has the most gorgeous views, with plenty of space and modern facilities with cute touches. The staff was very friendly when asked to extend our stay.
Disliked: nothing, the weather wasn't the best but this did not ruin our stay.
