Primitive grass and gravel tent or trailer tent campsite
Liked: This campsite was so easy to get to. Lots of space around your tent. Everyone else camping was so lovely and considerate, in regard to noise and clearing rubbish. Lovely views of the water and a 30 sec walk to the beach. Would recommend to anyone
Disliked: Would have liked a rubbish bin onsite, we had to take ours with us.

From the manager: Morning
Glad you enjoyed your stay. The bins are located (two general waste, one brown used for bottles and one blue) at the bottom of the campsite. We try to keep them as far away from people camping as possible but are still on the campsite. We will going forward put the location of bins on the message we sent to all are campers. Sorry for the mix up
Thanks Folks on the hill campsite!!
