Very nice spacious campground.
Lots of space for both campervans and tents. Soft grass for tents. Not so many trees for cover during rain or heavy winds.
About 8 picnic tables and a large shelter for cooking.
3 flushing toilets with toilet paper provided.
The only downside was that a large bus with tourists stopped by and made al the toilets very dirty.
Not so many sand flies during April.

Lots of space, approximately 40 campervans can park here during the night.
You park on gravel with an almost even surface. The toilet is 5 meters away from the closest parking spot, not 500 and uphill as others mentioned.
The toilet is clean and is a drop loo.
The views over the surrounding mountains are amazing!

Close to the highway and it works but that is all said.
Since the waste disposal is build on a higher level than the asphalt, and the surface is uneven, it is very hard to empty here.

Only accessible for tents.
Very nice views over the sea and cliffs. Field is filled with hundreds of cows, which make sound all night. And the field is covered with cow poo...
we couldn't find the toilet house, it is well hidden apparently.

Amazing campsite.
Beautiful view over the lake. You can park your camper literally next to the lake. Plenty of spots available (at least 30), of which approximately 8-10 next to the lake. We were there during Easter and there were only 6 other camper vans. 8 out of 10 because of the toilet.
