Excellent campsite that I would happily book again
Primitive grass campsite
Liked An open, spacious campsite. Easy to check in. Very friendly and helpful. Excellent shower, toilet and washing facilities.
Disliked Not really a dislike, but the lack of shrubs and trees meant you were open to the breeze/wind and lacked a little for privacy. Conversely, that also meant a sense of space and plenty of space for kids to play.

Primitive grass campsite
Liked We had a fantastic experience at this campsite, and the kids along with our little dog enjoyed it just as much. The site was impeccably clean, facilities were excellent, and the atmosphere was incredibly peaceful and relaxing. From the moment we arrived, we felt very welcomed. They provided us with all the necessary information, and there's a charming little shop that offers everything you might have forgotten. I wholeheartedly recommend this place to anyone looking for a great getaway. We are certainly planning to return
