The character of this place

What guests indicate

  • Booking requests and pitch preferences not consistently honored despite guest confirmation from reservation team.
  • Advertised onsite activities (scuba diving, archery, climbing wall) listed by booking platforms are not actually available at the park.
  • Pitch 1 and adjacent spots near reception and barrier experience constant vehicle and foot traffic — unsuitable for families with young children seeking quiet.
  • Pet policy contradicts across booking platforms — dogs listed as allowed on some, forbidden on others; clarify before booking if traveling with animals.mentioned less often

The pitch

Electrical hookup available (6-10A), euro plug required. Terrain is varied — flat, sloped and terraced sections. Motorhomes accepted up to 8m, large caravans accepted. Pitch connections: water, drainage, sewer. Camper waste disposal on site. Pitches are mostly exposed to sun. Pitches are marked. Paths lit at night.

Pitch sizes vary across the campsite, with some adequate to spacious pitches near the entrance, but others are notably cramped—particularly those in more secluded corners. The tightness of certain pitches is a trade-off worth noting if you require generous space for an awning or vehicle setup.

The location

Supermarket in the area. Restaurant within 100m. Well suited for: horseriding. Certifications and labels: 5 stars. Reception languages: English. Guests describe the campsite as in a valley setting.

There is a notable disagreement about sea proximity. One perspective highlights the attractive surrounding area and notes the beach is conveniently close; another disputes the campsite's characterization as beachfront, suggesting the actual distance is greater than marketed. The adequate band appears to reflect this mixed reality—sea access exists but may require some effort or expectation management rather than direct, immediate proximity.

The on-site shop offers a small but functional selection, with fresh bread available daily by order — a practical convenience for campers. Stock is limited and geared toward essentials rather than a full supermarket range, which is adequate for a small campsite but may require trips to nearby towns for broader shopping needs.

Rental units & mobile homes

Rental units are generally clean and well-equipped with useful amenities like dishwashers, air conditioning, and comfortable bedding, supporting the adequate rating. However, hot water in showers is inconsistent—a practical issue worth checking on when booking, especially if this matters to your comfort.
