Unpowered grass tent site
Liked: Absolutely stunning! The closest to wild camping you can possibly hope for. Campsite is really nice and care for... you can see that the owners look after the place, planting trees and protecting them with nets. This is just what I was looking for and I would love to go back again!
Disliked: Nothing to say here...
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us a review and for the nice photos. The deers, rabbits, badgers, etc. would get to the trees if we didn't have the nets! We're glad you like our campsite and enjoyed your stay. Welcome back anytime!

Unpowered grass tent site
Liked: It is exactly what is listed. Such a beautiful camp in a really quiet, secluded area. Really easy to access. Lots of room to pitch your tent. Watched the December sunset after pitching our tents and it was immensely peaceful. Fire pit was a real plus and made the difference. The owners are lovely and I wish them the best with this base camp! Would 100% return
