Such a lovely place. Cleanliness was absolutely amazing, location is beautiful and nice cider on tap too. Had one incident were 2 bar staff ignored us waiting to order a pizza, talking between themselves. Twice they walked past us so we left. Apart from that, it was a beautiful place and will be returning next year.
Donโt take my word for it!

Toilets and showers need attention, too much mould and never saw anyone cleaning them. Good for children as plenty of room to play and it's own beach, although not good for sandcastles as it's shingles and they get in your shoes. Still nice to have its own beach though, and dog friendly too. Bus stop right outside.

What a lovely site for a family holiday. So much for children to do! The reception staff were lovely and informative. There was a shop on site and all the amenities you would want if you had young children. There was a small coastal walk to the left of the site, just past a dog walking area. The shower blocks had private cubicles with a toilet basin and shower. The shower was a stay on one where other sites don't always have that. Only dislike (personal preference) was a security presence, which is a shame but understandable.
We enjoyed our stay

Close to beach, nice and clean, friendly staff, a big Spar for all essential. A bit windy as it's close to the beach, could be better if have some clubs or activities for children as it was summer holidays during our stay. I would recommend it anyway.
Very good

Park is a nice size, not too big or noisy, lots of activities. Food was nice. Very child friendly. The majority of staff were helpful and friendly. Lovely area for dog walking. Beach isn't sandy at all, so need to go elsewhere for that. There are 4 disabled parking bays which is pointless sadly, as everyone uses them, including staff. Security aren't concerned by this. We had the misfortune to need to contact security due to a disturbance from a neighbour. Security arrived and made a point of telling everyone our pitch number, so if you need to contact them, do so carefully.
The stay was great, the weather not so great lol

Everything was great. My only gripe was the cleanliness of the showers. They could have been cleaned a bit.
We had a great stay and will be booking to go back

We thought the location was superb, great access to the private beach and the stream that run into the beach was a great area for young kids to paddle. Next year, I will take my paddle board to meander along the river and I will take beach shoes as the stones were a little harsh. We spent many hours flying a kite on the field leading to the beach and the walk up the hills to catch the sunset was beautiful. We caught the bus outside the campsite to visit other villages which was a great service. Unusually for us, we did not use the facilities (pool, bowling, entertainment) as we were just happy to enjoy the environment and location.

Location was exactly what we were looking for. Walking distance to the private beach was perfect especially for 2yo and 6yo. No big expeditions needed and everyone really enjoyed the swimming on site. First camp on a site like this that had more facilities and honestly it was just too busy for us. The amount of people and specifically the language and inconsiderate behaviour of some guests bought it down. The park itself was fabulous, we just found this wasn't what we wanted from our camping experience
Friendly staff, great location and facilities.

Great facilities and friendly staff. Security staff were really good and even checked on everyone when it was so windy, which was lovely. Only downside is as a family that don't have a dog, dogs were everywhere in the pool area, even though there was a designated area for them. People ignored that and they were still around the pool, in the entertainment area where people were eating and it was very busy. Dogs were all over the floor as people were stepping over them. As a family with a small child, it's worrying letting them play when there were so many dogs and some off leads. Can there not be a designated area for tents/caravans with dogs so children can play if they choose to not be around dogs?
Really enjoyed my stay

Really enjoyed my stay here. Facilities were great and near the private beach. Also had own pools. Shop onsite and bar that was not too expensive. Would definitely stay again.

Absolutely perfect if you are going on holiday for a break away, and very good for children. The outdoor pools, the parks and the access to the beach are all amazing and well maintained. Fully recommend staying here.
Great place!

Fab place to stay, everything you need on site and reasonably priced. Very friendly and helpful staff. Good entertainment, the only downside was the shower facilities were a little outdated and not very clean. But overall, great stay and will be back!
Lovely holiday

We just got home from our 4 night stay at Freshwater. It was our first camping trip as a family and it did not disappoint! Everyone was so lovely and friendly. The pitch was great and well located, close (but not too close) to the toilets/showers. When we first arrived, our closest block was closed for maintenance and then reopened, only to close again a couple of days later (but only for a couple of hours while they fixed the boiler). Not a huge inconvenience and just 'one of those things'. The toilets and showers were as expected and big enough to be in the same cubicle with my young child who needed help. The location was 10/10! We were so close to the private beach and had a lovely walk down there each day. My children were so excited to see the river meandering down to the sea and even more amazed when we were able to climb down and walk through it! We also managed to do the coast walk up to the top of the hill to look at the amazing view. There was a little wooden bridge over the river, perfect for playing 'pooh sticks' which of course we did! There was even a company located on the beach to hire paddle boards and kayaks, which we did for the first time ever which was great fun. Additional entertainment and activities were also great! The kids loved the indoors and outdoor pools, the indoor was easy to book and we enjoyed the inflatable obstacle course. The little arcade was just the right size for our 6 and 4 year olds. A game of bowling followed by a yummy dessert in the upstairs restaurant was the perfect way to finish our last evening. Thank you for a great stay I'm sure we will be back and hopefully for longer next time!
Perfect holiday

An ideal site for young children, with plenty going on to keep them occupied with evening entertainment for the adults. Great location near to beach.

Amazing from start to finish. Was myself and two boys. The entertainment was the best, swimming entertainment amazing (floating obstacles course/disco party dancing). So clean and I felt so safe. I did lose my son (5) and everyone came together staff and campers and he was found so quick. Staff were so friendly and always happy to help. Thank you and we will 100% return.
