Medium Tent - Non Electric Grass PitchesAug 2024

A simple yet lovely and back to basics camping. Has a great view of the valley and the sea. Has basic facilities but always kept clean and tidy and actually a campsite with hot showers! Owners are kind and welcoming and kindly extended the departure time due to bad weather which was appreciated. Would recommend.

VW-Type Campervan - Non Electric Grass Touring PitchesAug 2024

Silver View was our kind of campsite with just the basic facilities and no frills. The proprietor was very friendly and helpful and kept the facilities clean. The setting was beautiful. The only downside for us was that the location was a long walk to the town. We don't like to use the van once we're pitched.
