Spent the Easter weekend at this camp our party was 4 adults and 4 kids 13,10,9 and 2years something for all. Caravan we hired was great, linen nice and clean no complaints. Didn't see toilet block for tourers. Site nice and clean owners are upgrading this site every year.Playground great for kids plenty of space for kids to run and have fun .My grandson`s went fishing and loved it didn't catch too many fish. We will go back.

We stayed here one night, and although the location is wonderful - we had an electric hook up pitch right near the cliffs, so had a gorgeous view of the sea and cliffs - the whole park is really shabby and down at heel looking.
We were one of very few people actually on the site, there are loads of grotty old caravans that are obviously permanently sited, as well as static caravans, some of which are old.
There's also a lot of rubbish around, the place really looks like it needs a large skip and a damn good clear up. We were given keys to the toilet/shower block, which we struggled to manage to open as the locks were half hanging out. Inside the facilities were ok'ish, but old plastic sinks and breeze block walls are not that appealing. Reading previous reviews I can only think that they've delayed the new building works because it was all rather dingy.
So the place was alright for us, we have a motorhome and simply used our own facilities, and were only staying overnight on our way through, but I couldn't recommend it as an actual holiday destination, the whole place needs an awful lot of money and energy spending on it, it's really rather down at heel (and a bit spooky if there is no one else there, surrounded by deserted grotty caravans and statics and general detritus). Such a shame because the location is second to none.

Had very mixed feelings about this site. The setting is superb. We pitched very close to the cliff edge and had wonderful views over the Irish Sea to the Isle of Man.
However, the site is on a disused army camp. It covers a big area with a lot of statics and touring vans that are obviously kept there all season. Some of them looked very run down, and this combined with the empty, derelict army buildings gave the place a very dilapidated air.
The toilet block was a bit of a walk from the cliff side camping area and was absolutely appalling. It was old, tatty and was never cleaned the whole week we were there. There weren't even any plugs in the sinks. We did find the on site shop quite well stocked and the lady serving could not have been more friendly and helpful. We would not go back unless the owners improved the toilet block.

This place was terrible. Camping area for our 25x27 foot tent would have been better on the rocks at the beach area. As it would have been flatter. The pitching area was muddled around about. In between static touring vans with grass too long around the base. Alot of run down looking vans and scrap vans about.
Needed to go to the pool about 30 miles away to get a wash. Me being the only bloke there could have got by with the toilets and shower blocks that were run down, missing tiles and toilet seats and a flourescent lamp hangin off ceiling in ladies. But to have my girlfriend and two young daughters at 4 and seven had to take measures to let them do the toilet and wash in a bit of comfort.
Not really any great walks with young kids and the village was a drive away down single road with passing places. Nothing in the village at all. Pub and a silly wee shop. So every supply run was about 60 mile round trip.
Would never go again even to within the same post code. Staff useless and did not care. Even on the last day rushing to get the tent down and get out of there we lost toilet key. (which we did not need as the locks were bust anyway) meant we lost our ten pound deposit for it. However to get us out of there ten minutes sooner was worth it.

The park itself was ok had lots on for kids and was fine. For adults the showers block was disgusting it really let the park down. They are building new ones next year as it is under new management. The village is two miles away and only has one shop in it and nothing else
