Liked: We lived everything! The camp site is so clean, the facilities we kept very clean. The staff are so friendly and can't do enough to make your stay as perfect as possible.
Disliked: We didn't have the luck of the draw this time with weather, which made some places very bogy. But it's something that's unavoidable and out of the owners hands.
