 Great campsite, lovely staff on check in and plenty to do with the kids, beach literally a few steps away and arcades and fair!

We also took our dog and he loved it!

Would highly recommend and stay again!

 The site was right on the beach and near the harbour / town a 5 minute walk away.

On site the pub was lovely and excepted dogs and had a massive arcade for everyone.

A few independent traders set up on the sea front every morning with coffee and gifts.

The only negative was not enough toilets and shower facilities.

Reviewer: Casper 1 review from this member

 I was very pleased with my stay at sandy bay Porthcawl.

The showers were pleasantly warm enough and left clean by other users

Loads of open spaces for pet lovers ie dog walkers.

Hookup

Very good value for money

Staff very very helpful and pleasant asking me if I enjoyed my stay.

As a valleys boy I will most definitely support Porthcawl and the hitide for providing a professional service to us happy campers.

End of day it's the users of the camp site provide their own accommodation. So definitely stay again.

Reviewer: Millie 1 review from this member

 Honestly was such a lovely night! The staff was omg amazing! The manager was such a lovely, sweet, caring person, she deserves a bonus (may I add).

1 small thing I may add which isn’t a bother is just a bit of advice… is if the showers was cleaned more regularly! Obviously I understand the amount of guests showering there isn’t much time to be cleaning showers but there was a lot of rubbish in my cubicle and as a germaphobe like me😜 I didn’t want to touch other peoples rubbish or grime:)

Other than that I don’t want to be fussy as I know it’s hard when there’s quite a few guests around🤪 but other than that me and my boyfriend had the most wonderful stay and 200% do recommend staying and recommend staying again

Thank you hi-tide, see you again x🫶🏼

Love,

Millie + Mackay x

 Very convenient location to Royal Porthcawl Golf. Friendly, helpful staff.

Sadly some guests do not treat the toilet/ shower facilities as well as they should.

Outside bins were overflowing & toilets we’re smelly.

Reviewer: Meek27 1 review from this member

 Absolutely fantastic site, as we knew it would be, I spent my child hood in sandy bay and trecco and to take my son back to stay the night in the bowl was magic

We played in the sea, had lunch at the hightide, listened to the singers and just had a relaxed screen free time.

Reviewer: Bevlle 1 review from this member

 Staff were lovely

Site very basic but ok.

Key fob entry worked well.

I had non-ehu pitch. Lots of room as parked at far end. Lots of vans arrived over the weekend and was v v roudy indeed. 2 portaloos but didn’t venture is during a heatwave as, well… who would?

I didn’t stay the whole three nights as it didn’t feel particularly safe. Not the Hi-Tide’s fault, just the mix of people on this particular weekend. Several other people I spoke to left- he had been many times before, so not typical of the site’s usual ambiance, presumably

What I wasn’t comfortable with is having to put booking details on display in the van window as it had name, phone number, and email address on display for anyone - think this needs reviewing

 Everything we needed and close to everything.

Pitch was a really good size and flat.

Stayed in our motorhome for 2 nights arrived early which wasn’t a problem and checked us in.

Will definitely be returning 😁

 Love the site, handy for shops and right on the beach.

Lovely clean toilets and shower cubicles.

Be good to have an extra toilet further up as quite a long walk from end.

Stayed two weekends will definitely be back soon

 Check in was easy. Nice pitch near to the beach.

The Hi Tide is on site with nice food and only a short walk into the town.

Toilets and showers were clean and tidy.

Will definitely be returning
