5.0/5
I’m usually not one to write reviews, but I had to go out of my way to write one about this campsite.
The place is managed by an older couple and let me tell you: they were some of the nicest people we’ve met. Genuinely interested in where we were from and very accomodating. We arrived a little past closing time (8PM), but she still went out of her way to show us around and point us to a possible site for our tents.
We paid 17 dollars per person. Hot showers last 6 minutes and are included in the price. The kitchen and toilets/showers were all very clean. Laundry costs 2x2 dollar for laundry, 3x2 dollar for the dryer. There was no wifi (I think), but good cellphone coverage. A big campsite with a lot of stationary caravans, but everyone was very friendly.
Do watch out with keeping the windows open at night: we were enjoying a late dinner in the kitchen, when we turned around and saw a couple hundred moths swarming the light fixture. 😅
