Non-electric hardstanding and grass motorhome pitch
Liked: Great view of the North Sea
Disliked: Very wet and muddy pitches which were unsuitable for a campervan. Unable to stay as we struggled even with all terrain tyres to get out of the mud

Excellent pitch with great views, needs better prep for all seasons

Liked: Nothing
Disliked: Poor directions and when we did find what we thought was it, it was like someone’s back garden on the edge of a cliff. There was a very steep access path and if we had gone down it, I don’t think we would have made it out again. We had to find somewhere else to stay on New Year’s day! Very disappointed!

Liked: One of the best locations I have ever been. Directly by the sea, with stunning views across Sinclair bay. I was lucky enough to see Sea Dolphins early in the morning. The site is also easily accessible, as it is directly off the NC500. I also found the pitch perfect for my large motorhome, as it is a level parking area which looks to be hardcore with gravel on top and then grass, so no risk of sinking. I will definitely be back to this site, it really is a gem.

Liked: Lovely spot near the coast. Friendly owner. No frills so I asked for water.
Disliked: Getting back up the drive after a night of rain was a bit scary! Some skidding involved. Coastal path was a bit treacherous. Would not recommend on your own like me! Very very windy
