What customers say
This peaceful site offers spacious pitches with stunning river views and direct swimming access. Guests love the friendly owners, clean modern facilities (hot showers, flush toilets), and fire pits. Great for mountain biking & Mach Loop. Some mention midges & dated facilities, but overall, excellent value & highly recommended!

The website makes out it such a different place but it's really not!

Anonymous Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite
Liked Maybe the view of mountains and river.
Disliked We did not enjoy the campsite at all, when arrived the bins were overflowing at the entrance and the smell was horrendous!! The toilet's were so smelly and we had to flush if needed as it stated on the door. They barely flushed! We will not be returning here again

Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite
Liked The location is great, people at our stay were quiet. Families, larger groups. Though no one was on site, but it didn’t have an impact for everyone to respect each others.
The owners were coming to site on daily basis few times a day.
Disliked Toilets and showers must be improved. We survived, but it was extreme.

Great place to relax, and enjoy the surroudings
Anonymous Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite
Liked We enjoyed our 2 night stay. Pitch was a good size well spaced circles cut out in the medow. There was the basic rustic facilities on site, with a river you can cool down in. Just turn up pick where you want to camp and that's it.

Anonymous Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite
Liked Spacious pitches, well spaced out too from others. Quiet & scenic. Situated under the Mach Loop for those interested. Hot water showers and flushing toilets which were well stocked. Firewood available on site for a reasonable price for small firepits provided. Second time visiting and definitely will be back again!
Disliked Facilities could do with a bit of TLC. Compared to last visit, the floor of the toilet huts wobble a bit depending where you move. Might just need reinforcing. Both toilet and shower doors have fair sized gaps in when closed, which was a little unnerving if people were around.

Liked Seeing the planes fly past.
Disliked The pitches were small. The toilets were horrible, no sink to wash your hands. The showers were dirty, no fake plants can make it better. Didn’t even stay at the campsite because it was so bad. The website is misleading.

Anonymous Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite
Liked We loved this campsite.
Off grid, but despite that the toilets and showers are fantastic. Rustic, but perfect.
Stunning location, the river is beautiful and very quiet.
No loud or large groups when we were there so it was ideal.
My son and I spent the week there and will definitely come back.
