I couldn’t think of a better site to take advantage of some later summer sun. We booked a grass pitch, no hook-up for one night. Staff were happy & really helpful, whatever their job, they were all happy to help. Ran out of gas and replaced it at the on site shop as the prices were not inflated. Access to the beach couldn’t be easier. All the facilities to support your stay on hand and extremely clean. We will definitely visit again. Accommodates all. On site restaurant was great, food was really good & a great selection of beer, though this closed by 17:00. However, times were well posted, this was off season. The carrot cake home baked and lush! 😋

We stayed on a large pitch with electricity for a weekend with my three young children and had a great time. All the staff were really friendly and helpful.The location is amazing, the campsite has a short path that leads to the beach or you can climb over a massive sand dune to get to the beach. There's a great park onsite for the kids and a restaurant although the restaurant is dated with toilet seats broken and there was no toilet roll. Food was lovely and service was prompt.The pitch sizes were generous, and the toilets were clean and showers warm, however could have been warmer. We can't fault it for the price. The kids both had the best time although we did pack up and leave early due to the 45mph winds and rain.It is no music, no dogs, and quiet hours from 10 pm, but we thought this worked perfectly for us as we had three children under 6. Lovely campsite will be back.

Very well organised camp site. Grass is soft like a high quality rug, pitches are big so even full is not over crowded. Amenities are clean. The staff is friendly. The beach is 5 minutes away and nice and quiet. What more can you ask for?Will be coming back!

The location is great with roomy pitches. There is only one facilities block for 4 fields and it is very expensive, we struggled to see what we got for our £60 a night pitch with hook-up.The staff are extremely officious, treating everyone like children, patrolling the campsite and telling fully grown adults off for talking after 10pm after the kids are in bed. Their approach was not reasonable at all. It's a shame as the location is lovely, but we will not book again due to the attitude of the staff and the cost.

Fantastic well kept campsite with clean facilities just behind the dunes of an amazing beach. Cafe facilities and shop had a great choice. Opportunities for fire pit fires as long as a mat but we choose to have a fire on the beach. Great walks on the door step.. with amazing views if you can survive the climb !

Really great campsite and showering facilities etc. A reasonably prices shop, however the restaurant on site is very expensive.It's a bit of a pain getting to the actual campsite but worth it.Beach is absolutely stunning every surfers dream! Plenty of shell collection, falcons to see hunting in the dunes.I've visited this place x3 times and it's always been windy so take extra layers. I'd recommend having a electric hook up also.

This cafe can get very busy at times during the summer so there is a little wait for food, but it's worth it. The food and drinks here are delicious! Unexpectedly good! We have been here a couple of times over the last couple of years after a day at Llangennith beach and each time our food and service have been lovely. It's dog friendly but we usually sit outside as ours are quite big. The chips here are very good, but we also had 3 'small bites' for £15+: beef parmesan meatballs with tomato sauce and garlic bread, whitebait with a delicious homemade tartar sauce and sticky chicken wings. Beautiful views too in the right spot, would recommend 👍🏼

We came here with the scouts seeking surf as where we’d planned on going wasn’t wavy enough. This looks like a great campsite and we got campsite envy. We paid our fee to park our vehicles and get access to the toilets and showers but as we arrived we were “greeted” by a rather officious gentlemen with a floor cleaner who jumped on us and started telling us off for changing in the toilets. We may have been in the wrong and apologised immediately but he would not let up. Anyway we evacuated as quickly as we could and tried to avoid him for the rest of the day. Despite this we witnessed at least three other occasions where his default mode seemed to be angry…not the greatest customer service but we didn’t let it spoil our day.
