Liked: We arrived at Tackeroo for the first time on the 4th May and what a beautiful forest glade with trees reaching for the clouds. All of us enjoyed the walks around the forests and watching bikers riding the tracks. A loverly 4 nights pity we didn't get to see any deer, maybe next time, definitely on our return list.
Disliked: Ameinites a bit sparse and tap pressure is low.

Liked: This is a really lovely site and exactly as described tucked in the middle of the forest...truly beautiful. The choice to pitch up where you decide is really fantastic and offers you the real feeling of "wild camping" on a site. All of the wardens where really friendly and very welcoming. There are easy access elsan points and water taps dotted around the site. Really lovely walks around the woods / forest. The sunrise and sunsets through the trees are beautiful to watch....we most enjoyed it from the roof terrace on our van which was extra special ... If you are looking for a relaxed, no frills, tranquil site with a nice friendly vibe this site is for you. We will certainly be returning. Thanks
Disliked: Nothing other than having to leave

Liked: The ability to choose where we wanted to pitch. The setting is simply beautiful with mature trees and managed clearings. Water and disposal points were easy to access. Trails and tracks ran through the camp and made for perfect access to the abundance of natural sights and wildlife. Peaceful and atmospheric stay , looking forward to future visits.
