Primitive grass tent campsite
Liked: Great compost loo, porta loo and normal indoor toilet. Great warm shower and outdoor warm shower. Lovely hosts who show you everything you need to know! Beautiful view. Logs available to buy. Everyone has a fire pit!
Disliked: Nothing to do with the campsite, but be wary you can hear cars on the A road beneath the site through the evening and night. That being said, this is good in some ways as a local services is only about 300m from the campsite so great if you forget any supplies.

Liked: Stunning views, private feel to the pitches surrounded by small trees. Perfect location for exploring the lakes. Hosts were lovely and explained everything there was to know about the site on arrival. Lockers available to charge phones for free which was really handy. Small site so nice and peaceful, able to get a good nights sleep without being disturbed.
Disliked: If I had to choose something I'd say its the site being on a steep hill!
