There is a long gravel road leading to this place, there was a sign at the beginning of the gravel road saying that they camping ground was open.
Once we arrived there was a "closed" sign yet the gaten was open, we we're confused. There was also a note that if no one was there, you could set up in a nice spot and pay whenever the staff is present again.
We did set up and achter a while there was a woman approaching us on a quad. She greeted us kindly and told us they were actually closed. We said that we would of course leave then, but we we're allowed to stay anyway, which was a very kind gesture. We paid the next morning when they were back open.
The area itself is magical, you feel even more in Middle Earth than in the Hobbiton movie sets.
