3.5/5
For anyone who can get a decent site this is a really pretty spot.
Unfortunately due, I think, to our arrival at 8.30pm we were told all sites were gone and were given a site backing onto the main road. I pretty much counted vehicles through all night as am a light sleeper. A walk around the camp in the morning revealed some much more preferable, and empty, sites. The stargazing as mentioned by others is literally out of this world - just beautiful. There are superb river views for those who are lucky enough to get one of those spots. Not sure how you get one of those as looks like a lot of empty caravans taking space up as well and some permanents living there. It's a bit hit and miss by the sounds of it when reading other reviews.
It's now $15 per person.
