A note from the site themselves...

Whitemoor is a great site for those who want the hustle and bustle of the coast with beaches by day, but something more tranquil and relaxed by the evening. Watch the stars at night and listen to the birdsong in the early morning.

We work to blend a rustic setting of freedom and space with great facilities. We are a family-run site, our emphasis is on having a great time while respecting everything around you - other campers, nature and the environment!
