Liked: Pick your own pitch, clean facilities, great views, owner / employee super helpful- didnt catch his name but he was driving around delivering fire wood to people all afternoon for them & always approachable ! Short drive to all the popular places :)
Disliked: The whole site slopes a fair amount. Windy site, so try to pitch near hedges at the sides! 20p for the shower only gets you 2 minutes (per 20p). found that out the hard way. Site gets boggy during rain which can be an issue for non-off road cars as there is no hard standing to drive on to get to your pitch. They are ready to tow you out whenever you need, but something to consider
