Good spot for freedom camping for truly self-contained vehicles.
We arrived just after several days of torrential rain and the falls were spectacular. Just off the road and easy to find. Flat gravelled parking area. Long drop loo but ok. For self-contained campervans this is just fine.

4.5/5
As a place to plug in, dump waste and catch up on washing after a few days of freedom camping this is a very good spot.
Although there is a Butlins feel to it, the facilities are excellent and in new-ish condition. Underfloor heating in bathrooms and unlimited hot showers, well laid-out sites with good lighting and amenities. Laundry OK, although washing machine didn't spin well so had to dry clothes for a long and expensive time. Conveniently sited close to centre of village.
Thank you for your comments. I'm glad that you enjoyed your stay and that you made good use of our excellent facilities while here.

Kitchen and bathroom facilities etc seem very new and extremely clean and tidy.
Unlimited free wifi for campers if you phone warden for password. $25 per person for a powered site made this one of the more expensive we've stayed at. New washing machine and dryer but they are coin operated only ($4 and $6 respectively) and since we had no coins, only notes, and had already plugged in for the night we couldn't use them without leaving to get change.
