Liked: Peaceful and relaxed. Very nice food in the pub, a bit expensive but higher standard than usual pub grub and they do refund Campsite fees (excluding EHU) for each night you eat in the pub.

Power optional grass site
Liked: Nice quite small site ideal for a relaxing weekend away with the option for a beer and food in the pub
Disliked: When washing pots in the outside sink there was no roof so you get wet when it rains or anywhere to put your pots. A light needs to be put next to the first shower block as you can’t see the coded lock when it’s dark. No signage to let you know where the campsite was only signage for the pub
