What customers say
Owners get a thumbs up for being friendly and helpful. Campers rave about the views, the cafe, and it being great for dogs. Facilities are clean and work well, though some say they're a bit basic and sloped. A few mention road noise or other campers, and some had issues with Wi-Fi or muddy spots after rain.
