What customers say
This is a highly recommended, friendly, and clean campsite with spacious pitches and excellent facilities. Owners are praised for their welcoming nature and local knowledge. Features like the "sharing shed" with local information and emergency supplies are appreciated. While the site is generally peaceful, some guests noted that the number of showers might be insufficient during peak times, and a few mentioned chilly showers or issues with insects in outhouse-style toilets. WiFi is unavailable.
