Powered cement/asphalt and grass travel trailer campsite
Liked: Showers had very good water pressure and as hot as you would like them. Pitches are large hard standing and grass. Very quiet setting easy access to the North lakes.staff are very friendly and helpful.
Disliked: Pitches are not level, not an issue for us as we carry lock and level system for our van. Toilet facilities need a refresh but are very clean. Bar on site is not open very often, when arrive and leave the site watch the grass and stone elongated roundabout if you have a large van or camper it's tighter than you think to maneuver round.
