Primitive grass tent, campervan or trailer tent campsite (family)
Liked: Place is amazing. Some space for kids to play (was lot kids so my son find friends to play with). If hungry they sell pizza there and if thirsty is mini bar where you can order some drinks. To be honest definitely place worth going and we gonna come back for sure.
Disliked: Some people with small kids put tent so close to us when they wake up with kids 6am kind of can't sleep anymore. But that just because of people nothing to do with place itself.

Camping pod
Liked: I recently had the pleasure of staying in a camping pod, and I can't recommend it highly enough! The experience was a perfect blend of comfort and nature, providing all the best aspects of camping without any of the hassle. Here are some highlights: Comfort- The pod was cosy, equipped with a comfortable bed and electrical outlets. This made it feel like a home away from home while still being close to nature. Amenities- The camping pod came with a small gas stove, kettle and washing up bow, allowing us to prepare meals. There was also a clean, modern bathroom in the pod, which added to the convenience. We spent hours outside with the fire pit lit- perfect for toasting marshmallows. The park was nearby for the children and they thoroughly enjoyed all the open space to run around and play. Privacy- The pod offered more privacy than a tent, with solid walls and a lockable door. It was great to have our own little space where we could relax and unwind without worrying about security. Overall, staying in a camping pod was an excellent experience that combined the best of camping with the comforts of modern living. Whether you're a seasoned camper or new to the outdoors, I highly recommend trying out a camping pod for your next adventure!
