Maxime

Ranking: 8/10

Nice campsite with lots of space to set up tents. Unfortunately there was gravel underneath the grass, so very hard to put pegs in. Toilet was okay, but a bit smelly.

Karo

Ranking: 5/10

Directly next to a busy road, long drop toilet was full of mosquitos. On the plus side there are rubbish bins, picknick areas and firepits.

Jason Roussel

Ranking: 8/10

Tent camping is allowed. Contacted the council. Nice spot. Flat ground, grass next to river. But next to a busy road. Camping on both sides of road, sign post points only to east side.
