Stayed in the small wigwam with my two young boys (aged 4 and 6) and had a fantastic time. Clean, family friendly holiday park. Wonderful beach and great staff. Son wasn't well on the last day of our stay and we decided to leave early - were pleasantly surprised that we got a refund on the day we missed. Totally... More

Spent the week here in one of their static caravans- arrived in the pouring rain but the joy of finding the caravan had central heating was all we needed to help us settle in. The decking on the sunny side of the caravan was brilliant, even enjoyed a bbq on our last night and there is enough space between the... More

We stayed here as a group - 5 tents including 2 familes with small children and a couple in one of the static caravans - for a long bank holiday weekend and had an amazing time. It helped that the weather was fantastic but the site facities and views would make up for any bad weather! We camped right by... More

We were very impressed with the large wigwams. Very clean and well looked after. The site couldn't be better placed on the coast. Spent lots of time on the beach as we were lucky with the weather. The midges got a bit bad on the day we left but that was simply as the weather had turned damp. Toilet and... More

Just came home from a weeks stay here in our big family tent. We were lucky with the weather as it was dry and sunny all week except for one day. Midges were hellish and we tried every repellent going, Smidge seemed to be the best one! Site was lovely and we pitched up near the main road away from... More

Lots of space for camping, lovely beach, great location and well kept facilites. If you want a little more peace then pitch away from the play area but this did not worry us. All the... More

Just back from a two night stay in the wigwams. Quite enjoyable all round really, fantastic scenery and a lovely beach. I think the park could do with being extended a bit, not too much in it which was fine in April as the site was quiet but in the busy summer months I would have thought it would be... More

We stayed in one of the bigger wigwams just for the one night on our trip up north. The wigwam was really nice and very conveniently located for the toilet block etc. In general the site was very nice, all the tents etc that we could see were well spaced out and there seemed to be a good level of...

We go every couple of years to Big Sands. In all we have probably been about 6 times and I am about to book again for this year. What we love about the site is the location and views which in my opinion must be about the best in the world. The site is large and kind of sprawled out,... More
