Office opening hours are posted daily at the office by Mark the Campsite Manager (usually 0900-1000 & 1600-1700, longer hours in summer months). If you arrive outside of these hours, you are welcome to pitch up and visit the office when convenient (for shower tokens, payment, advice etc).
During the season, updates are posted during the day on this web page indicating how busy we are, what the weather is, tides, events on the beach, and so on:

Met Office Whitesands Beach Forecast:
'Live' surf report: Whitesands Surf Report, Live Surf Cam & 16-Day Surf Forecast - Surfline
The Shower and Toilet block opened in August 2020. There are separate female, male and disabled/family sections; an outside washdown shower and stainless steel washing-up sink. Tokens are available for the shower meters (coins will not work).
Main site (30 pitches - shown in photo below): Tents, trailer tents, campervans (such as VW T5) and smaller sized motorhomes are welcome. Sorry, we don't have pitches for caravans or very large motorhomes ('A' class @7 metre plus; and RV).
Farm Fields: now open as usual for summer holidays (13 acres, or nearly 10 football pitches) right above the beach; plenty of space. This 'wild camping' is restricted to tents, trailer tents and vehicles with driveaway awnings; the pitches are set far apart. There are water taps in the fields, but not hook-ups. Of course, the facilities on the main site (showers and toilets) are also available to campers using the farm fields. There will be no additional charge for those who bring their own toilet tents to remain self contained.

There are electric hook-ups on the main site. It is not possible to book hook-ups in advance.
Electric Shower Tokens are £1. Campers must not use coins, they shut down the meters.
We do not allow campfires on the ground because they damage the grass (the campsite is part of a working farm). Respect the Farm.
In the interests of other campers, dogs should be kept under close control or preferably on a lead. They are not allowed in the shower and toilet block.
To avoid damage to the grass-cutting machinery and natural environment: campers are requested not to remove stones from the hedges or leave them on the fields: Respect the Farm.
The main 30 pitch site slopes gently down towards the sea. The farm fields are open in August 2022: the higher up you go in the fields, the flatter your pitch will be, and more dramatic the view. Park next to your pitch.
Groups of under-18s need to provide details of parents prior to arrival.
We accept contactless and card payments (preferred) or cash.
Broadband Wi-Fi available on site - Service is provided by Home | Dragon WiFi (01437 763333) (This email address is being protected from spambots.
