Liked: Great campsite and had loads of space to choose from. The campsite is well look after and has good facilities. Seems like they are building new site for facilities and soon they will have even nicer facilities available which is exciting knowing the staff is absolutely lovely.

Liked: Excellent well kept site with a short leafy walk to town along the river. Staff went over and above to accommodate site preferences. Temporary shower and toilet facilities were excellent. The site will be even better once the new facilities block is completed.
