Seaside adventures

At The Old Airfield campsite, you’re greeted by a lush green wonderland just begging to be explored either on foot or on 2 wheels – bring your own bike or hire one and have it delivered to your tent!

However you decide to fill your days, the kids will be in their element, racing through the woods, building dens, and discovering all sorts of natural treasures. And when it’s time to unwind, you can kick back at your campsite and soak up the tranquil atmosphere, perhaps enjoying a sunset picnic or toasting marshmallows around a crackling campfire.
