The crunch of shingle underfoot and the steady rhythm of waves just beyond the pitch — The Anchorage sits where land meets water, with that particular coastal stillness that settles over a camp as the light fades.
This is a spot for tent campers and campervans who want simplicity and salt air, whether you're walking the coast path with a dog (worth checking ahead — they ask first) or simply need a night under canvas with the tide as your alarm clock. The site keeps things low-key, with facilities unspecified in the usual sense — expect back-to-basics rather than bells and whistles. It's the kind of place that draws people who pack light and don't mind a bit of self-sufficiency.
Campfires are a maybe — ask when you arrive, as it likely depends on conditions and pitch location. The vibe here is quiet and uncluttered, the sort of overnight that reminds you why you started camping in the first place. Bring what you need, expect little fuss, and let the sound of the water do the rest.
