Primitive grass tent campsite
Liked: Great communications from host, good sturdy, maintained soft ground for pitching tents. Numerous well maintained and stocked toilets and fresh drinking water available. Beautiful scenic views all around - definitely on my return list.
Disliked: Go very slowly over the speed bump as catches the bottom of the car. Not suitable if you have a lowered vehicle as it will ground.

Primitive grass RV campsite
Liked: This place was a great surprise. You can pick where to pitch up and there’s loads of room. The views are spectacular in every direction you look. Really is a hidden gem! Very basic facilities, which was fine for us, and portaloos were spotles. The little cart with water, washing up station and eggs to purchase was a nice touch. The lady that runs it is very friendly. We stayed for one night as we’re driving around the lakes, but would definitely go back.

Primitive grass tent campsite
Liked: This is a minimalist camping experience. It's a field above a farm, with a view out over an estuary. There's portaloos, an outdoor sink and a drinking water tap – so not quite wild camping, but very close.
Disliked: The ground is incredibly hard. You need extremely sturdy pegs and a strong arm to get everything in and secure – at least that was the case on top of the hill where we pitched.

Liked: The owners was really helpful and friendly, could not fault the pitch area or the facilities, was clean and tidy. Local shop and pub down the road in 10min walk. Close to the lakes, but had it’s own little walks local to do if you wanted to pass some time quickly
