Thursday 6th August 1800 Update:
The main campsite is now full. We still have room on the farm fields for tents and trailer tents.
For those who can camp on weekdays, it's a lot quieter with a wider choice of pitches.
The new shower and toilet block is open: There are a female, male and disabled/family sections:
Covid 19: We do our best to keep the toilets clean, and they are treated with appropriate anti-bacterial chemicals; we use paper for wiping surfaces (rather than cloths) and a steam cleaner for the floor and surfaces. Campers are asked to ensure cleanliness at all times. Dogs are not allowed into the shower and toilet facility.
The farm fields (13 acres, or nearly 10 football pitches) above the beach are now open. These provide 'wild camping' for tents and trailer tents, with places to pitch that are set far apart (see photo from 3rd August below). There are water taps located in most fields, but main facilities are close to the beach. There will be no additional charge for campers who bring their own toilet tents in order to remain self contained.

Main site (30 pitches): Tents, trailer tents, campervans (such as VW T5) and smaller sized motorhomes are welcome. Sorry, we do not have pitches for caravans or very large motorhomes ('A' class and RV).
Farm fields (13 acres or 10 football pitches): Now open (tents and accompanying vehicles, and trailer tents only). 'Wild camping' in farm fields with water taps, and facilities closer to the beach.

The new Shower and Toilet Block will be ready for the for the 2020 season, by Wednesday 5th August. Despite Covid 19 limitations, very good progress has been made on this project so far.
There are 14 electric hook-ups on the main site ("first-come-first-served"). It is not possible to book hook-ups in advance.
Electric showers are £1 for a token, obtained from Famous Pete.
We do not allow campfires (on the ground), and Chinese lanterns may not be lit or launched on site (the campsite is part of a working farm).
In the interests of other campers, dogs should be kept under close control or preferably on a lead on the site.
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 is fairly flat, sloping gently down towards the sea; the farm fields above the beach (open in August) all have flat areas mainly next to the hedges, but if you camp on a sloping section it would be wise to park your vehicle across rather than facing downhill. The higher up you go in the fields, the flatter your pitch will be (and more dramatic the view).
