Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked Lovely, convenient location; good shower facilities which were warm and had good pressure; friendly staff who made everything really clear; lots of space on the pitches.
Disliked The beeping lorries in the quarry overnight (absolutely no fault of the campsite) although they became background noise and lulled me into sleep eventually!!!!
