Non-electric grass and earth tent pitch (wild, woodland)
Liked: lots of area options for wild camping area - there were very clean bathrooms and warm shower options. wood if you need to buy any more, and fire pits etc. was nice and quiet with lots of bird song to wake up to. both sun and shade options for whatevers preferred. we will probably be back! this is an adults only camp ground - it is unfair for them to receive a low score on child friendliness as this is of course not going to be a child friendly location.
