2.5/5
Absolutely beautiful spot, toilets well maintained twice daily, rubbish removal regularly, great shower.
Plenty of space, well equipped playground for children, dog friendly..lots of dogs all kept under control and area free of poo.
Place was busy... had 2 peaceful nights...the low rating is because our stay was tainted by a couple of large groups of youth and adult campers who for two days and nights sped around reserve, driving dangerously close to campers,tents and caravans revving their vehicles , drinking to excess and making a racket till the early hours of the morning...a visit from police on New Year’s Eve slowed them down for a couple of hours...after very little sleep decided to move on.
Spoke to other campers who also decided to leave, quite a few had stayed before and had not experienced this previously. A real shame that a few louts can ruin what would otherwise have been a great holiday.
This may only be a Xmas occurrence.. will try again later in the season.
