Liked: Facilities were excellent. Campsite was clean and tidy. We ran out of gas during our stay. The lovely owner sorry I don't remember her name was very happy to help even thought it was out of hours to replace our gas. Owner also told us how to get into Kintore on foot via a forest path. This saved us walking on the road leading into Kintore. This made our stay much more enjoyable.

Liked: Play park was good for the kids. Staff member I met on arrival was friendly and informative.
Disliked: Facilities seriously need updated. Dirty looking shower area and toilets however I do believe they were cleaned just update required. Also hookup output very low but manageable.
