Non-electric grass tent or motorhome pitch
Liked: Simple campsite that allowed us to pitch where ever we thought was most suitable for us and allowed us to keep the motorbikes next to the tents. Toilets were clean and had a separate urinal.
There were a big set of bins by the entrance and they sold fire wood and BBQ coals if you needed them.
Disliked: Minor things, it wasn't the most level site and there was only cold water at the toilets for washing up.

Non-electric grass tent or motorhome pitch
Liked: Whilst the campground has quite a few guests, it was very relaxing and quiet. The views were great, and the facilities were more than I’d expect for a wild camp. The toilet block was clean and water was available.
Disliked: We were unable to find a level place to park up; even the use of levelling ramps didn’t bring us much joy.

Liked: I liked how busy it was, without being too noisy and disturbing, considering other people and their circumstances. Really friendly people.
Disliked: No dislikes, I really enjoyed it! The toilet was clean, just bring your own toilet rolls when it’s busy.
