Husband and I stayed at Hillend recently for 3 nights. PROS: You can walk barefooted over the sand dunes to the beautiful beach: massive expanse of beach, even on a sunny weekend it feels relatively empty as you can easily escape the gathering of people who dump themselves onto the first bit of beach they land on. Good surf. Wondeful... More

I'm utterly amazed at the bad reviews of this site. I've been going to Hillend for over 20 or so years and I have never had any issues with the staff at all. I started going in my mid 20s as a couple with my then girlfriend, when the site was much more basic, with little in the way of... More

Went to Hillend campsite for the Bank Holiday weekend not knowing what to expect, on arrival the staff were welcoming, the site was clean and tidy and well looked after. The facilities were good and the shop sells EVERYTHING! The cafe on site is very good too and close procimity to the gorgeous beacj and dunes is ideal. An idyllic... More

Went down recently and having never been there before i was very impressed, facilities were clean and you were right on the beach. The local pub which is about 1 mile from the campsite served some very nice food and had a good selection of beer/ale for some very reasonable prices. Unlike some of the reviews i didn't find the...

I decided to write a review for Hillend Campsite after nearly being put off visiting the campsite by the negative reviews on TripAdvisor. After looking at their website, I came to TripAdvisor to have a look at the reviews, as I was wary about not being able to book in before we went (we'd planned to go over the bank... More

I'm not a very experienced camper but loved this site, great spot a stone throw from the beach, relaxed staff, clean and all round friendly and considerate campers. I would return tomorrow! That's all I wanted to say, it's a bit annoying that you have to be forced to complete more than necessary on TripAdvisor.I would out more reviews if... More

I stayed on this campsite with a small group of friends and received as what can only be described as the most terrible customer service EVER. I have never come across people who are so rude and aggressive. The night staff have turned this place into a 'no fun' campsite where BBQ's and talking are forbidden it would seem. Who... More

Great site, stayed one night with my four year old this weekend, no complaints. Friendly staff, clean and included facilities, the cafe is reasonably priced, well stocked shop. Beach and surf were perfect, got my boy bodyboarding before his fifth birthday! The site was quite wet from recent rain but far from a mud fest. Loved it, will be back... More
