Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked: Loved the quiet site and the kids enjoyed playing in the stream. The views were amazing but it is a little remote so no convenience stores for a fair few miles. We were told to use one of the campfires on the site but none were there so we built onto an already established ground spot, take wood with you otherwise you'll need to travel to get some, there's not much in the way of twigs or branches to forage for on the site. Showers and washing facilities were nice and hot but the pot washing is cold water, not that it's an issue just for someone else's awareness. We have o2 phones and signal was spotty at best, unsure on other networks.
