Primitive grass tent campsite
Liked: Such a clean, quiet campsite. The bathrooms are immaculate. The lady in the shop was very pleasant. We had an amazing time. Plenty of fire pits to use and only a short walk to the lake.
Disliked: When I come with the kids, there isn’t a dedicated place they can play as no ball games allowed on site.
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Thank you so much Karen 😊 we're thrilled you enjoyed your stay with us and we hope to see you again soon! There are two very good parks nearby (within walking distance) but unfortunately we just don't have space for one on site. Kind Regards, Team PYB
