Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked: Very spacious plot, with a fire pit to each plot. Able to use a bbq raised off the floor. Lady who works for the owners came over regular to check all was OK and discussing good walks around the area. She was also helpful directing to local amenities.
Disliked: A sink would have been ideal, to have washed pots in. This is advertised as a wild camp site and I was more than happy with just having running water and a Porto loo. I just thought, the space it would have taken to put a raised sink in, would cost nothing, but help the campers out. The roads were noisy nearby which had surprised me, but this is no criticism on the site.

Liked: The camp site was very quiet after hours and also not too busy so there was plenty of room for the kids to run and play, the stream next to the campsite was amazing the kids spent hours in there.
Disliked: By the end of the weekend one of the toilets weren’t working properly so it really started to smell quite bad.

Liked: Absolutely fantastic owners, campsite is lovely, great river and tree swings for my boys. Wetsuits are a must as it’s cold! Dog friendly also. We will definitely be back each year I’m sure as the boys didn’t want to leave.
Disliked: Nothing to dislike here for me.

Liked: Quiet location but still near to the town. Very friendly land owners, who were very knowledgeable of the local area. Beautifully clean portaloo and the added bonus of a fire pit to use to keep away the chill at night. Would highly recommend and would definitely return.
