Nice site on about 4 acres of flat ground along side a tidal creek, when the tide is in, creek fills up with about 5' of relatively still water, can fish on the banks (just), splash around and play in a dingy pretty safely (watch for a small current). There is about 4-5" top soil then you hit hard ground, you will need extra strong pegs (I used storm pegs) to pitch properly. Ground has good drainage.

There is one shower block and one toilet block situated in the centre of the site, 7 showers plus 1 disabled in one block, showers are free, hot and with good water pressure, The ladies in the other block has 8 toilets and about the same amount of hand basins. I would think the gents are identical. By the look of the grouting probably newly decorated this year. 5 stars for these facilities.

2 undercover washing up areas, again with lots of (very) hot water. There is no laundrette. There is a small shop, games room with pool table and arcade games and an under 5 playground all at the entrance to the park. By the toilets is the over 5's playground, lots of room to run around and burn off energy. For a change, the kids were able to make as much noise as they wanted to without being told to hush, by 10pm all the kids had been rounded up and were at home'.

There are quite a few permanent caravans and a storage area, the electric pitches were all pretty much the same size and level with wooden log fencing dividing them up. The camping area was around the outside (away from the toilets but not too far away), and the pitches were of various sizes, some were really only big enough for a motorhome. Others were huge with enough room for 2 cars, a tent and 2 pup tents with lots of room for the BBQ, tables chairs and general gypsy site stuff we usually drag around with us!

Ours was a pretty small triangular pitch on a corner and once the tent was pitched there was no room for the car or trailer. I felt exposed to cars driving past 3 foot from my kids heads.

5 minutes walk from the site is a Londis shop which is open till 10pm and stocks lots of stuff. Further along (about a mile) is a Somerfield and further on a Co-op. There are probably more supermarkets but we didn't see them. There was a fishing shop close by, but not being an addict I don't know exactly where:-) ).

You can walk down a path to the beach, we didn't walk it, so can't say how long it took, but my daughter walked down the road and it took about 10 minutes to get to the prom.

The beach is pebbles and shingle and half way along is a small fun fair, tokens are 50p each, 40 for £12 or 70 for £20 (there is a smaller bag than 40 but I can't remember how much it was), there is a fish and chip shop and a burger bar within the confines of the fair and the prices were very reasonable. There are quite a few big pub/restaurants on the island but there isn't much else on the island.
