A beautiful campsite with lots to do nearby!
Primitive grass campsite
Liked Clean toilet block and didn’t have to ever queue for a shower or to go to the toilet.
Good pitches with accessible walks and views of the forest.
Friendly helpful staff.
A well stocked shop with all essentials and extras like ice cream, butcher shop meat etc.
We went in the summer last year and it was understandably very busy, felt it was more manageable and quieter going end of May.
Disliked Quite hard to fit in the cubicle doors in the toilets being pregnant as the toilet roll holder was in the way!
Although WiFi was available, we were unable to use it throughout our trip due to poor signal/service (although this fit us perfectly as we wanted to switch off anyway!)
