Primitive grass tent or RV campsite
Liked: No fuss just pitch up on arrival ,choice of two fields with ample room . Lovely location with clean toilets and hand basins. Very pleasant owner calls in evening to collect your fees and you are able to rent fire pits and buy logs from him. Although there is no electric on pitches I found it a refreshing change from the usual organised club sites .
Disliked: Nothing
