Unpowered grass tent or trailer tent site
Liked: Simple campsite with very friendly owners. Only a tap and portaloos hence the reasonable price.They are planning to have a sink for washing up which would make things easier and eventually showers which would be nice. Really liked the lack of officious signs. Some simple information about the local are would be useful though.
