You couldn't imagine a better location for a campsite: great grassy areas on the edge of cliffs, descending to two lovely sandy beaches. Facilities are good and very clean and there’s a pub next door. Electric hook-up is an extra £4. You can camp for £9 per site from November to March, but don't complain about the cold.
