Phenomenal Site
Electric optional grass pitch
Liked This campsite is absolutely amazing . The reception from the staff was so welcoming helpful and friendly . The pitches are massive and you can pick your own pitch . They are boarded by hedges . The toilets showers etc are spotless . So clean . Laundry facilities for a small charge . The swimming pool was fantastic . There is a small outdoor bar . You can order fresh bread every day . The location is brilliant . A short walk to the river and the town . The town is quaint . This is the nicest camp site that we have been on in 8 years of holidays in our campervan . We can’t praise it enough . We stayed 6 nights and we never stay anywhere more than a couple of nights . Sadly we had to move north for the ferry . Thank you so much to the amazing staff and working so hard to maintain the exceptional standards of the site . We most definitely will be back next year . 👍⭐🌈
