    Our stay was for only one night, would not go back again as we felt a bit remote.

    The receptionist not the most friendly person, and so many rules and regulations with the do and dont’s. You have to wait at the barrier for someone to notice you before you can get in. Otherwise the place clean and tidy and a nice bbq area.

    We arrived here in the dark in September 2015.

    Hi Folks,

    The place was quite remote and not much vans were around. We had a very lonesome place to stay. The Holiday park is right on the beach, were a stroll is quite nice, but not very fancy. the staff was friendly and the place clean. A good and clean gas grill was available. The playground was not very good and quite worn. But other than that a good and basic campground. Expensive as you would expect from a Top Ten Holiday Park.

    Cheers

    Very clean and tidy with all facilities, opposite nice beach, which one can only get a slight glimpse of. I thought $42 for two was expensive though for a couple in May, but Top 10's are a bit "overpriced."

    We turned up unplanned and found a very warm welcome.

    The site is clean, well provided with excellent facilities and really well-placed for the beach. It was a few bucks dearer than others we'd used, but well worth it. Staff were freindly and helpful, especially Maurice who kindly gave us a lift back from the shop / pub which are a good 30 mins walk away. Will definitely use again next time we're in that part of the world. The fresh herb garden in the BBQ area is ace!

    The campsite itself is very nice.

    We stayed in a cabin. However after booking in, we found that there was a large extended family group there who seemed to spend all their time drinking and leaving the children to run wild. It ended with us being attacked and abused by a large group of these people. We had been watching tv when 2 young boys came in and started playing around and making a racket. We politely asked them to be quiet as we were watching a film. Some half hour later, a group of adults (obviously the worse for drink) came in and started shouting at us. There was no sign of the site owners and no way of contacting them from the domestic area we were in. It was very unpleasant. It was only afterwards we were able to leave the kitchen/tv area and find the owners. Nothing was done. We would not recommend anyone to stay at any camping ground where there are large groups booked in.
