Primitive cement/asphalt RV campsite
Liked: Nothing!
Disliked: Well where do I start - It’s quite simple really, if you have a camper/motorhome avoid this overpriced junk yard like the plague.
The management/staff are shockingly rude but if you don’t mind them accusing you of not booking and then invading your personal space and looking inside your van to see if there is anyone else there then book away.
I’ve never had the misfortune of dealing with such intimidating and rude people in my life.
I have never in all my years stayed in such an inhospitable place, £15 a night to stay in a car park with junk, a skip and rubbish all around.
Just book elsewhere, is my only advice!

Liked: Beautiful setting, lovely friendly pub. Shame facilities can't be upgraded but that's the trade off being inside a national park. Pub wasn't doing food as it was early in the season but happily gave us details of a local takeaway and offered us a table in the pub to eat it. Couldn't ask for more. Loved the locals, think we chatted to half the pub!

Primitive grass and earth tent campsite
Liked: Lovely quiet site situated just off the main road so was really nice and easy to find. Pitched right next to the stream which was really nice but you have the choice to pitch wherever you want so can decide for yourself if you want to be closer to the car park or stream. Pub is straight across the road from the site, very cozy place for a drink. Site is sort of in a valley so views of hillsides all around, absolutely gorgeous to wake up to. Would definitely come back.

Great location. A bit steep for a car park stay. No food available.

Liked: Location is amazing. Beautiful walks and views surrounding.
Disliked: There was no person to speak to on check in or check out. No idea who they were. Pub was closed at 7pm on Friday when we arrived. We just took a punt and went through the gate (labelled private) and parked up. The pub DOES NOT serve food in the evening despite advertising they do on the website and there is no where close which does serve food. Be aware and take some with you!! No facilities - simply a car park with a couple of abandoned cars.
