Liked: Liked that we were the only ones on site. There were some football goals which my boys enjoyed.
Disliked: Sadly the problem was the chemical toilet which if there was more than just our family it could have been a lot worse. Also there was no proper sink to wash dishes, brush teeth or wash our faces.

Liked: Fantastic location, beautiful views, quiet and minimal. I love this kind of campsite as you know you will get a good night's sleep and won't be in a crowded site with hundreds of other we people. I would recommend to anyone who likes no hassle minimalist camping. Would be great for hikers.

Liked: A quiet, friendly, well kept pitch in a paddock. Basic facilities but clean and serviceable. Pitches are reasonably level. Easy access to the surrounding hills. Perfect for short stays or stopovers.
