What can I say the best campsite I've ever visited anywhere, not only was the site really well kept but the scenery was stunning, it had its own harbour which looked beautiful when the sun set. The little private beach was easily accessible and very cute!! Ideal for families with small children to keep an eye on. The shower blocks were cleaned twice a day and were very clean.
Everything was a small walk away and there were two swimming pools (heated and unheated). Everyone on the site was friendly and there was a lovely atmosphere. The club house was an ideal size located next to a small arcade neccessery to keep the kids happy while you have a quick drink. I was extremely pleased with how cheap the site was to pitch on for the week and have booked up again this year. It's also a great place to go if you have a boat.
The only critisism I had was that the showers didn't always run hot, you had to catch them at the right time but that wasn't a problem for us as we had showers in the morning when the water was always warm but they're supposed to be fixing it now.
It's an ideal place for families and I'm all booked up for next year. I would recommend this site to everyone and anyone.

I visisted this camp site earlier this year and I can honestly say I had a fantastic holiday!! There was lots to do and see on the campsite and it was a pleasure to spend a week there. There was a private beach with caves for the kids to explore a habour that looked really beuitiful when the sun was setting a park for the kids to swimming pools one which was unheated which we dared each other to jump in and a club house with good entertainment. We stayed in a tent an the toliet blocks were clean and the showers were lovley and warm when u caught them at the right time. Every thing was a little walk a way and I enjoyed every minute of it I strongley recomend this site to any one looking for a really cheap and chearful holiday ill be visiting again next year

I have visited Watermouth for the last 25 years and had some wonderful times there. the views and walks are breath taking. A nice family run site, Chris and Alan have become good friends of the family, we have watched their children grow up. I have a young son of 7, I feel the site is very safe and can relax when there.
The pools are clean and well maintained, as are the toilets and showers, though they are begining to look a little dated. The continental sinks are a God sent, really handy. If you like fishing this is the holiday for you, also excellent for the boating enthusiast.
My main criticism would be during the high season you do tend to get the campers from the tent site next door sneaking into the pool and club house if they get the chance, at times there's been very little seating room due to the visitors. Having said this, recently Alan and Chris have done regular checks in both areas and asked the offenders to go.

This is a Fantastic Park, Great for camping, I don't think there is a better location anywhere in the country. The views were amazing, the walks were lovely and everything else was a bonus.
Club house was very friendly, park was lovely for my two. The beach on site was such a big hit for our children who are 6 & 7, they loved the caves.
We will be visiting again this year. My only complaint was the weather!! It rained.

Having just come back i have to agree with some comments form other reviewers. Site was ok if you got a level pitch. We had one and could not get caravan level, i could sleep but felt strange each morning. We stayed for a fortnight and the 1st thursday managed to move to a flatter pitch. Owners were very good about us moving.
My kids used the pools but i didn't. Toilets were clean but rather small cubicles unless you used the ones by the shop. Showers were the push button type that you have to keep pressing, hot and powerful but again not a lot of room, hook on door would of been nice.
Site was full but fairly quiet. Nice walks along cliff tops though. Watermouth castle is dead opposite, walking distance, well worth a visit.

I have visited this site many times since we took up caravanning. Reading some comments in other reviews I feel the need to come to their defence. I have no connection to the site except as a paying customer.
I also hope that they have built the new toilet block, but the comment about flooding is unfair as it seemed to me that it only flooded when there were unruly children on the site! The block is cleaned twice a day. A quick word with the staff if a shower is not working would have solved the problem - did the other reviewer mention it? If I have a problem with the showers it is that the water is tooooo hot for me sometimes.
6" of water at the beach? Must have gone at high tide when the water reaches up to the top bit of sand. Below that is some rocks then when the tide goes out a bit more there is a long expanse of beach! Dont forget the water level rises about 30 ft between high and low water here!
Club House - Alan, the owner, goes out of his way to welcome his customers and engages all in conversation. There are a number of people who have seasonal pitches almost all of whom are friendly and willing to point out places of interest to visit. Lets face it they have been going there years so know the area quite well.
Not able to get to your own pitch - I have seen this - Alan is sometimes too soft on groups in tents who seem to spread out over neighbouring pitches.
The new shop is up and running and was quite well stocked Sept 2003.
To sum up - Stunning views, Quiet locality, Friendly staff, Staggering distance between pitch and pub.
I will be going back there in September 2004.

Stunning location, but the site is very run-down. The shower block was cleaned daily but always flooded. The showers had plenty of hot water but only one worked properly. Had a great children’s play park, again a bit old but the kids LOVED it! Loads of open area and some nice walks. Overall, worth visiting even if only for the location.

The campsite is in a lovely location opposite Watermouth Castle.
The facilities, ie toiltes/showers were good and cleaned everyday.
The site has its own small harbour which can get a little noisy in the evening with the sound of the boat engines.
The pitches were of a good size but we had one on a slight slope which made putting the tent up a bit akward.
Overall a very good site and we will definately be visiting again

This site is set in a stunning location with a harbour at one end and a small beach at the other. There are cliff top walks directly from the site. For those with small children this could be a problem, but we loved it. We never tried the club house in the evenings so can't comment on that as we preferred to stroll down to the harbour and watch the sunset! There was a security code on the door to the pool and children had to be accompanied as there was no lifeguard. The shop was well stocked. The toilet block was a major problem but I believe it was to be replaced over the winter. In high season when we visited there were far too many units packed in to the space, which caused problems for people trying to move their caravans on or off the site. Overall though this is a beautiful site with a friendly atmosphere that we would definitely consider revisiting.
