Burning Cliff III
6 Ryan Moss

We stayed in the 'glamping' bell tents for a few nights as a special treat while our friends camped in a nearby field. Considering the extra cost we paid for the tent and the lanterns, chairs, etc., you would expect the inside to have been cleaned before our arrival! There was a used band-aid, candy wrappers, and a lot of spider webs at chest height, indicating that the tent hadn't been occupied in a while. Although this was disappointing, we did enjoy the facilities and activities offered at the site, such as the circus school, dog walking, and food outlets. The communal showers were clean and functional, but there should be more washing up stations to avoid long queues of up to 40 minutes. The toilets were generally fine, but the antibacterial gel was not refilled in the evenings when toilet paper was restocked! The prices at the shop, food outlets, and bar were quite reasonable, and they offered a variety of local products. The on-site bakery was a fantastic addition! Despite the site being advertised as 'family-friendly', there seemed to be a lack of concern from security regarding campers who made excessive noise (such as shouting loudly for an hour at 2 am), which was quite bothersome. However, we didn't experience any traffic issues mentioned by others, as the staff managed the one-way system quite efficiently.

The beach is truly stunning, and it's a shame that some individuals claim there isn't one simply because they don't want to trek to the end. In reality, there are two beaches, but they require a significant amount of walking and stair-climbing to access.
