Hi All

Do you think Shell Island will still be busy in 1st 2 weeks of september???, last time i went i was 7 (now 38) i remember having a wonderful time there and would love to take my children.

Many thanks

Hi Miamia

I wouldn't have thought it would be very busy. We were there at the beginning of September last year for a few days and it started to get much quieter after the childrens school holidays were over.

I have been going for 30 years myself (since 6 weeks old!) and last went 2 weeks ago for the weekend when it was very hot. It was busy over the weekend but by the monday it was pretty quiet.

Have fun if you decide to go. I'm sure your children will love it as much as you did when you were young. Mine have a great time and always say it's their favourite holiday even though they're pretty well travelled.

There not great but not too bad, the site makes up for it though its worth ruffing it a little just for the location

Hi all,

We were at Shell Island last week and, to be honest, we were so disappointed we only stayed 1 night. Everywhere was absolutely PACKED which in itself would not have been a problem but for some reason, during the hottest weather of the season, the site only had 1 shower for each sex open! We tried several times during the day to get somewhere near but in the end we just gave up and came home. 

Really disappointed :-(  The site was so beautiful though, we will definitely give it another go, after the school holidays maybe.

We took a cheep barbecue and had fires in that. You are not allowed fires on the grass, you can buy fire bins but they are expensive.

The site is Brilliant, rough and ready, no electric and small facilities, but it is fun and well I just LOVE IT.

The people who run the site are great. We found them helpful and extremely friendly.

If you want pampered camping with all mod cons then it may not be for you, but ths year was the first time my children had ever been camping and they loved it. Even my 14 year old teenage daughter coped and without hair straightners !!

Have fun, :D and if the weather is really bad then take a load of 2p's for the penny slot machines
