Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked: A wonderfully quiet, friendly and very clean campsite nestled next to the river in a beautiful rural location.
With an easy going rustic feel, offering more than adequate very clean facilities. Kettle, microwave and the opportunity to purchase eggs, bread and other essentials is a great option if needed.
A lever single pitch with the ability to park my motorcycle directly alongside my tent was ideal.
Disliked: Nothing, absolutely perfect.

Liked: Everything was amazing. The place is beautiful, nice view and beautiful river and great fishing. I saw people catching nice fish barbel and others.
Owner keeps replenishing fridge with various goodies so you do not need to go an buy all the time.
The toilet and shower are decent, more than enough for "needs", do not expect luxury, it is camping in after all.
Shared pancakes and experiences with camping neighbours which were amazing.
For sure will come again.
Disliked: Nothing to dislike.
