Primitive grass RV campsite
Liked: A lovely little site for a short stay, in a beautiful location. We were greeted when we arrived. The facilities were basic, but perfectly adequate - 2 portaloo's and cold drinking water only. Great walking routes and the scenery was stunning. Very little mobile signal, but we loved that, as we could fully switch off.
Disliked: No recycling or rubbish point, but we were made aware of this before our arrival.
