Liked: The location of this campsite is great and the onsite shop has all you need for your stay! You can also hire canoes directly from the site to have some time out on the river.
Disliked: Toilets and showers need a bit of a revamp. Showers were cold in both the evening and the morning.

Non-electric grass and earth tent pitch
Liked: Great scenic spot on the Wye with plenty of room to pitch a tent. Shady spots dotted throughout are ideal in the hot weather.
Disliked: Some of the facilities like the wash up area and showers need some improvement. Also, be warned there is a bar near reception that does not stick to the 10pm quiet rule that everyone else abides by. Loud music was played by staff till the early hours of the morning.

Liked: Lovely, friendly hosts! Clean toilets and showers. Lovely cafe. Close to lovely walks and towns. Lovely atmosphere with the street food and bar options. Plenty of space to pitch up.
Disliked: A couple of groups were playing music and being loud past midnight, just perhaps somebody around to ensure other groups are being respectful of other campers! Not the sites faults though!!!
