It's been years since I was there, and it was a resort without camping facilities in those days. Obviously it's changed a bit :)
The beach is over the other side of the island, a short walk. Take lots of sunscreen etc. Make sure that there's a shop before you go, it might be a ways to the local one. Don't mix your drink with boating. Its a lethal combination. Be careful swimming, lottsa rips around. Basically use your common sense and ask the locals if you're in doubt.
When I used to take my boat there on Fri nights, I allowed myself 1 drink at the bar, and spent the rest of the night watching the touros making fools of themselves in the pool. I have fond memories of the place, hope you end up with the same.

Hi Straddiegang 2
Like Footloose, it's been a while but see if this helps.
It depends a little on what you mean by Tipplers. That's the name of the Resort of course but many locals refer to Tipplers as the general area on South Straddie.
I didn't know you could camp at Tipplers Resort but they've obviously changed it if that's where you're going.
There's a quite good Council camping area just south of the Resort and plenty of shade as I recall, depending on your site.
Provided you don't want all of the five stars, Tipplers is a top spot. Practically everything you'll need is available at the Resort. The daytrippers, particularly on Sundays, can be a bit trying around the pub.
There are no 4X4's allowed on South Straddie of course except for the Council registered ones used by the islanders.
Have a great one.
Cheers.

hi guys thanks for the info.
We are actually going today so I a really looking forward to it. There are 4 camping areas on Sth Straddie and the second one down the island is called Tipplers. Looking forward to going to the pub at the resort as well.
From what I have found out it has bbq areas, hot showers and toilets, fresh water. You can buy ice from the ranger as well.
I will let you know how good it is when we get back.
