The kids had multiple river dips in the day. Short walk up to the facilities (wash + toilets). Our one fisherman even caught a fish for dinner. Would definitely recommend and also book again in the future."

Lisa was super friendly and easy to communicate with, and we really appreciated how relaxed she was about our dog. 100% recommend."

The space was abit small with multiple campers in the one area and limited privacy. \n- As we were not fully satisfied with the place, we enquired if we could stay one night as we wished to find a second place. We were told this was fine and we would be able to recieve a refund for the second day. After leaving and messaging the owner and Hipcamp, unfortunately the owner went back on their word and did not provide a refund and did not reply. "
