Good camping
Primitive grass campsite
Liked Excellent pitch for a group weekend camping trip. Fantastic staff, soft play, mini golf, bar and cafe!
Disliked Staff run off their feet. Very busy but really nice. Also, this is my third year camping here and there is definitely a problem with the showers. Each year there seems to be something wrong with them. Poor/no water pressure at all.
