Amazing.
Primitive grass campervan or tent campsite
Liked Very spacious pitches.
Communal spaces with fully equipped kitchen.
Very clean facilities.
Great toilets and showers.
Disliked I'm being very picky here but the shower heads sprayed all over so towels and clothes had to be kept out to avoid getting them wet.
A bit pricey.
