Electric grass campervan or tent pitch
Liked Beautiful location, very clean campsite, friendly staff and people. The pond view is so beautiful and the views of the mountains are also equally beautiful! The river walk is beautiful too! We loved everything there.

Great site. Great staff and very well kept, it all looked beautiful.
Electric hardstanding and grass motorhome pitch
Liked I loved the welcome I got. As I arrived, the lovely lady at reception knew my name (number plate gave it away). I received an tour of the map, where I was and where things are. The facilities were very clean. The toilets and showers were perfect, the showers were warm and very comfortable.
Disliked WiFi was not strong enough to reach where I was, I almost needed to stand up in the middle of the van to get it

Non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked This is a lovely campsite, possibly one of the nicest I've ever stayed at.
The drive in itself is beautiful, with amazing views of the valley you're in and good paved solid roads.
The signage is very clear once your on site, explaining you need to head to reception before you are allowed on site.
The staff are so informative and helpful, giving you a map of the site and highlighting all the important areas.
The site itself is very well maintained with cut grass, well organised vehicle parking and one way systems, there are serval shower and toilet blocks with pot wash points too, all with instant hot water and abundantly available facilities.
The waste management for bins is great too, with many different waste streams for all different types of recycling.
There is also great WIFI all over site with small WIFI booster poles dotted about the place. Without these there would be no signal at all.
I will definitely be visiting Cau Du Campsite again.
Disliked We were camping in section A10,near the stream. We realised once cozied in bed that the main road ran right next to the stream and heard quite a lot of road noise throughout the night. We did resort to earplugs on our second night which helped a lot.
This honestly is the only thing I can fault with this campsite - I'd truly recommend to visit here.

Amazing location, plenty space, gorgeous surroundings.
Electric hardstanding and grass motorhome pitch
Liked Gorgeous surroundings. Plots are well spaced out. Clean facilities. Friendly & welcoming staff. Easy navigation. Ideal location.
Disliked Wifi could only be used in the toilets or near reception. Got 0 signal on the campsite but not too bothered about that as it’s nice to get off grid! Flooding but can’t be helped as the site is right next to a river. Camp site could be better lit at night.
