Liked: Small, friendly campsite, just off A road separated by a field, so Road noise was minimal. Well situated for local National Trust sites & beaches, see campsite website for suggestions. There's a Texaco petrol station with a good selection Londis shop just up the road, which sells pastys made at the campsite, and The Rising Sun pub is a 5 min drive away that does good food. There is also a pizza van opposite the pub every Wednesday. Good phone signal on 3.
Disliked: Only 6 Amp power on site & pitch needed levels. Warning, severe pot holes on entrance.

Liked: The weather when I stayed was awful but Emma had moved my pitch so I was close to facilities and on hard ground. Emma was really friendly and helpful. Site is off the beaten track, which I prefer, but within a short drive of most places you’d like to visit.
