A really nice site
FHU gravel travel trailer campsite
Liked Large site, very well laid out. A good mixture of private static/ rental, touring and tent pitches. Also a play park for kids and a dog exercise field available to book.
Also had a Bar, games room, fish and chippy and coffee shop onsite, the latter was under refurbishment at the time of our visit.
Disliked Up to date literature showing correct position of some facilities, however this is only a small quibble.
WiFi was very hit and miss given that we were directly behind the main reception building were it is advised the WiFi is at its best. Not sure how well the signal would have been further down the park.
