The new 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 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: (13 acres, or nearly 10 football pitches) 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 located in most fields, no 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.

Campsite Wedding - 21 June 2021 - beautiful ceremony held on Whitesands Beach:
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 which damages 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 July and August 2021: 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 are accepted if contact details of "a responsible adult" are provided by e-mail, and payment for the camping visit is made immediately on arrival at the office.
We accept contactless and card payments (preferred) or cash.
Broadband Wi-Fi available on site - charges made by Home | Dragon WiFi
Mobile Phone - reception on the campsite next to the beach is weak, it improves with a walk to the top fields.
