Things to Keep in Mind When Visiting β οΈ
A few guests mentioned concerns about security, with reports of bike theft and no gates or security patrols, so itβs wise to keep valuables locked up and be vigilant. Some noted that sites near the fence can be tricky to manoeuvre with larger vans, so requesting a central site is a good shout. There were also mentions of flies being a bit of a nuisance, especially around the dog areas, so keeping food covered is recommended. Lastly, some construction noise was reported nearby early in the morning, so checking current conditions before booking might help avoid surprises.
π¬ What Visitors Are Saying
- Great park. Well set out with one way road all around. We had a corner site (57) which was so spacious, with nice grass area.
- The pool and camp kitchen area is beautiful. The whole park is beautifully maintained.
- Best of all no midges.
- Dog friendly 10/10. They even accept dogs who are not social at all so a plus for owners of these pooches.
- Very clean and tidy caravan park with a small kitchen with barbeque, pool, laundry, everything you need.
- Close to shopping and the beach.
- Short walk to shops and pier, local market on Saturday mornings, so much to see.
- Our son loved the games room with ping pong, arcade games …
- Staff are friendly, facilities clean and there is a pool and playground for the young ones.
- We felt very vulnerable with lack of security and non friendly maintenance staff.
- One bad thing – DO NOT leave your clothes hanging outside per night near the laundry. In the morning I missed couple of T-shirts.
- Good modern facilities and close to the pier.
- Heavy machinery construction is being used across the road from soon after 6am each day. It is loud and relentless.
