Traducir (A través del Traductor Google)Me gustó: The quirky vibe was lovely. Shop, catering van and bar lovely. Right on the canal. Live music on the nights we were there.
No me gustó: Porta loos.
I have nothing wrong with using a porta loo. This is camping!!! But when they get full it’s not pleasant. It can’t be helped but was slightly YUK.
You are warned though in add that there are no showers!!
Standard price for EHU, facilities poor

Traducir (A través del Traductor Google)Me gustó: Beautiful surroundings, loved the outdoor seating areas where you could use the fire pits and bbq. Shop has a small but good selection of products. The cafe and bar are really nice and add a quirky and fun atmosphere.
No me gustó: Site states rules say dogs being on leash at all times yet the site staff/owners (not sure who) have their own dogs off lead. Caused a small issue with my dogs and when I asked the staff member to recall the dog she raised a finger and told me ‘can you just wait’. Found her approach arrogant and entitled however later that day and following morning she was very polite and friendly. I strongly feel rules should apply to everyone not just paying customers.

No me gustó: Misleading website regarding campfires. Sell logs on campsite and say online you can have a campfire. Was told we cannot have a campfire and if we wanted one we would have to go to the communal area. Although no difference as still on grass field and the miles away from your tent so not the same. very squashed in campsite on top of each other also no privacy as very open area. Came here to see all the pigs as seen online many photos with loads of pigs, however only had 3 pigs in the padlock. After all these points mentioned we will not be returning. Is a shame as when we saw it online it sounded amazing. But in reality everyone is bunched together and considering it’s called the pig place we expected to see more pigs. Website/ pitchup needs to be updated with the campfire situation to prevent this happening to others. Campfires are a big part of camping and we couldn’t have one. Our fire pit was off the floor so no grass was damaged so wasn’t like we were destroying the landscape but was told needed to be distinguished straight away
The food was excellent, very friendly …

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review and I'm glad of the opportunity to respond as you detail several inaccuracies.
I remember your visit quite distinctly as you arrived at 9.30am for a Noon check in!
Once the check-in staff had arrived you were directed one of our camping areas. You decided that you did not wish to be there and proceeded to drive the wrong way round our 'one-way' system to go where you wanted to be. This was a very exposed area - but that was your choice!
Your position made it very obvious when you broke one of our major site rules - that is that we cannot permit camp fires in the camping fields. This was confirmed to you upon arrival and the reasons explained. Most fire pits destroy the grass, even ones with legs but does not show until a couple of days later. We sacrifice grass in certain areas by the canal and install sofas and fire pits for people to use free of charge. We do not permit the sofas or firepits to be moved so that only certain patches are damaged. If we allowed everyone to have firepits in the camping fields considerably more patches would be damaged thereby spoiling future camping experiences for other people. Unfortunately you were not concerned about other people and went ahead with what you wanted to do. Once this was discovered you were, quite rightly, instructed to put out the fire. And yes, two days after you left you can see where you had lit it! We also removed all the rubbish you had deposited in the grass.
We could see that you enjoyed the live music on Saturday night but if you ever go into a licensed establishment again that is paying artists to perform for your entertainment please have the courtesy to support them by purchasing from the bar rather than smuggling in your own drinks in your pockets!!
Pigs - you are quite right there were very few pigs on site during your stay. This is because it has rained for the last 6 months and having pigs on waterlogged ground for such a long period of time would be a welfare issue. We care about our livestock, they are not there for entertainment. Your visit was during the time that we had started to slowly re-introduce pigs to the land and have done so a few at a time to see how they were affected by the conditions.
