"Our first time here and loved it. We had a sea view pitch with our tent couldn’t ask for anything better. Hearing the waves crashing each night was incredible. The sand was so beautiful. Lovely walks along the beach to the lighthouse for dolphin viewing. Lots to do here all within walking distance. There’s a golf course at the entrance which you can pay £2 for a ticket as it..."

"Decent camping site. Beach right outside is a plus, and there's everything you'd need in a campsite. Staff was super. It's a shame the showers were a bit small."
