Primitive grass campsite
Liked Great area, plenty of facilities, friendly staff, literally over the road from the water sports centre for a nice walk or if you were staying for sports. Listing on pitchup states no Tentboxes but site confirmed we could stay under a tent booking
Disliked Some loud moments late at night and again around 4:30 in the morning. Some showers/taps not working.
