Electric gravel touring pitch
Liked: Toilets and shower were spotless and really close to the touring pitch.
Disliked: The campervan pitches are seperate from the main site and it seemed a bit like camping on a car park. There was nobody to show us our pitch, we were just told over the phone where to park. Shop rarely seems to be open.
