Liked: The access to the lake and the laid back atmosphere. Showers and toilets were clean and attended to regularly. Other campers were all friendly and being able to let the dog run free with theirs was wonderful. Loved having bbq or campfires at night after gathering own firewood. Everyone was very respectful of the site and each other.
Disliked: The shower heads don’t fit into the holders so you have to hold it up whilst showering. They do not sell firewood. Certain areas of the site were boggy due to rain and some cars needed a push to help them get out. Was overpriced for what you actually get. There is no signage saying ‘social district’ at all. Which did not help us find the place easily.

Liked: Stunning view of the lake. Toilet and shower area were clean and toilet rolls were frequently filled. Plenty space to pitch a tent. Was very quiet. Great fishing spot too although we weren’t very lucky! Only stayed the one night however wished we booked another night or two. We got lost on the way as route had changed due to weather however Tom (site staff) was very helpful and kept communicating advising us where to go!
Disliked: The rain, however that can’t be helped! Hand soap wasn’t available at the toilet area so bring your own!
