Great stay but needs a drying room and should permit campfires.

Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite
Liked: Beautiful location, friendly staff, plenty of room, lovely views, tasty food from the chippy, easy to access.
Disliked: It was a shame we couldn't have a campfire as that is one of the main things we love about camping. Sitting around a fire, watching the flames, roasting marshmallows etc. We've never been to a campsite that didn't allow fires. No drying room available which was needed given the torrential rain. Other sites have drying rooms.

Liked: Brilliant site, we had a lovely stay with our three young children. The play park was excellent for them keeping them amused while we got set up and sorted. The onsite site chip shop was a lifesaver after landing quite late on the Friday evening! The staff were all very helpful! Just a short car journey to various parts of the lake with plenty of activities to choose from! Look forward to our next stay!
