Powered grass RV campsite
Liked: Fairly level and well laid out site situated next to the Tarka trail. Facilities are good and kept in a clean, well maintained condition. The brewery/bar next to the site does some nice local ales. An evening there with the owner pulling the pints, is very entertaining to say the least.
