What customers say
Generous space and lovely river spot for paddling/walks. Facilities clean, staff friendly. EHU pitches tight, non-electric spacious. Can be noisy, but quieter further out. Great for exploring.

Would book and stay again, trying the touring fields.....
Powered concrete and grass site
Liked Easy check-in, plenty of good facilities on site, toilets and showers clean.
River access good, used kayaks on the water,
Disliked Looked to be plenty of space on the 'non-electric' touring fields however the electric hook-up area very very cramped, not much separation and very noisy.
General waste bins only - not much if any recycling bins

From the manager: Thank you for choosing to stay with us and for taking the time to leave a review as they do help people when deciding where to stay.
The electric pitches are very cramped when full, if you can manage without electric by using a power bank or foldable solar panels then do try one of the non-electric fields. Having a toilet tent is very useful for when it is dark and not wanting to have a long walk.
We look forward to your next visit.

Unpowered grass site
Liked Huge campsites. Big sites. Big river to have fun off.
Disliked Only one utility block in whole campsite
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Thank you for choosing to stay with us and that you enjoyed yourselves.
We have 2 toilet and shower blocks which are right next to each other, if in one of the outer fields it is advisable to bring a toilet tent especially when dark and if you do not want a long walk or drive to them.
We hope to see you again soon.
