Non-electric grass campervan pitch
Liked: Clean, tidy and well laid out campsite.
We arrived early and there was a number to ring to check-in as reception was closed. We were given very clear instructions of where to pitch and provided with details for the lock on the gate to access the parka trail.

Non-electric grass campervan pitch
Liked: The new shower block is fabulous and super clean. Warm and has hair dryers too.
Quiet, peaceful environment by the estuary with access to the Tarka Trail
Disliked: Hard standing would be more suitable than grass as it was raining and made it a little more tricky to walk upon etc.
Would be good to have the code for the gate/access in the booking
