The salt tang hits you before you see the water — this is proper coastal camping, where gulls wake you and the horizon feels within reach every morning.
De Mer Gardens caters to tourers with wheels, offering pitches for campervans and caravans in what feels like a no-frills, get-on-with-it kind of setup. Dog owners should ask ahead — policies can vary — and if you're hoping for a campfire evening, check when you arrive rather than assuming. The facilities list is sparse, so this is one for self-contained units and campers who bring what they need.
Expect a straightforward coastal stopover rather than a bells-and-whistles holiday park. The vibe leans toward practical: pull up, settle in, and head out to explore whatever stretch of British coastline you've landed on. It's the sort of place that works if you're chasing sea air and simplicity, not searching for onsite entertainment or a long list of amenities.
