Non-electric grass pitch
Liked: Great options for different fields to suit noise preferences (although the edge of the quiet field is by a family field so there were kids playing football and riding bikes through late at night/early morning) Plenty of toilets/showers. All clean. Brilliant instructions website with everything you need to know. Field is flat and freshly mown. Burgers were amazing! Fantastic location to walk the gorge and a nice flat footpath to walk back on. Will definitely be back.
Disliked: No issues with site, just other campers not following the site rules. All easily solved.

Liked: Super camping, czyste toalety, prysznice, dużo zlewów do mycia naczyń, bardzo duże parcele, dużo miejsca na grę w piłkę i inne zabawy, dobre jedzenie( pizza). Miła atmosfera na campingu, pomocni ludzie w recepcji, wszystko wytłumaczyli gdzie można chodzić na spacery co zwiedzać w pobliżu campingu.
