Primitive grass tent campsite
Liked: The site is small and my three boys (5, 10 & 12) were all able to roam and explore without worry of getting lost. Also, it’s a great idea to not have cars moving on the site, you park up and then bring what you need to your tent/cabin in big trollies with chunky wheels that are easy to move. I managed with three trips and we had set up right at the top of the site so it didn’t take long. The pool and hot tub are great - temp just right. It’s open 10am to 7pm but they let us have a swim a little later than than on our arrival day which the kids loved. There’s a covered area with tables and fire pits that you can sit in during evenings. On the last night we got some logs, skewers and marshmallows from the shop and had a campfire evening while staying out of the rain. Facilities are great, toilets are super clean and close by due to small site. The owner was in the site office/shop much of the time and super helpful.
Disliked: The boys would probably mention the lack of phone reception but it made for a much welcomed break from screen time.
