Awesome spot for our first campervan night.
Welcoming host. We were worried as it was later in the day and didn’t have a booking but it was fine and we had a corner of the campground to ourselves w a great view. Great to hear the sheep at night and in the morning and great sunset. Nice facilities, great to be able to wash dishes etc. did not use kitchen besides that or shower but nice to have access to those and laundry facilities / outside drying rack & BBQ.

Nice well-maintained sites, great views, well equipped kitchen.
Only one shower, small (nice) playground, but with a badly maintained and unsafe trampoline. Only campsite that charges fully for infants, which made it too expensive for us. Paying Top 10 price for way less facilities.
