It covers a massive area and is very diverse in its topography, from flat open area's to hidden alcoves in the trees to beech front paradise. The amenities are fairly good too. HOWEVER, if you go during the Bank Holiday weeks or School Holiday weeks then be prepared for HELL. The site gets very crowded, over-crowded to be truthful, you will que for an hour just for a shower. The site is full of fat, bald headed scousers who swig copious amounts of beer, pwuek everywhere, play music loudly till the wee hours and have what can only be described as towering inferno's for BBQ's. You will never want to camp again - unless you are a 'chav' in which case you will be in your element. There is a 'no caravan' policy but they do let camper vans on site so long as they use a tent, which is a joke as I have never seen a camper van with tent, this is over looked by the site management.Late September, especially if we have an Indian Summer, this is Shell Island at its best. Not many people, clean and tidy absolutely stunning, maybe a bit nippy at night but have a BBQ raised off the ground and listen to the sound of the waves as they crash over the rocks - perfect.
