Clean, safe, family friendly camp with a pool and playground loved by the kids. Easy walk to town, including another huge playground. We stayed in a family cabin which was as expected for a cabin in terms of condition and amenities. Lovely solid bunks that dont move around when the kids climb to the top. Only suggestion would be to add a blind to the bathroom windows - they are frosted but its not that effective with the lights on

Friendly and approachable staff. Must check-in before 1830 hours or to prearrange if check-in is after 1830 hours. A small 2-bedroom cabin with limited amenities. We were given each 12gb Wifi which is very generous. Very near to the town centre.

Bel endroit à aller avec des jeunes

Bel accueil. Personnel prêt à aider. Cabane toute équipée, mais le lit double n’était pas confortable car le matelas a besoin d’être changé et like lit était collé sur le mur. Bel endroit à aller avec des jeunes.

Just Great!

Great, Clean well set out camp ground. Check in was easy! We stayed in a cabin and was impressed. nothing was a mis. Only down side would be the brats in the pool 24/7 and it closing at 7pm in summer which we found far to early. most of the time your out and about and wouldnt mind a soak in the pool but it closed far to early. Maybe adults only from 6-9pm? which would reduce the noise after 7pm.

The location is good close to town centre and short walk to the beach. But about half hour drive to the popular Hot Water Beach. The Holiday Park provides spades/ shovels for digging the hot water beach so that was good.
