Supposed to be for 2 campervans according to signage, but at least 4 other campervans showed up after 8pm.
It's about 20 minutes walk to public toilets. Stayed on a Saturday night, after 11pm teens (assuming) ran around the campervans screaming "Wake up!" Around 3am there was a lot of loud activities of cars driving in and out at high speed while playing loud music. This lasted for almost 2 hours. This freedom camping site seemed good when we first arrived in the afternoon, but turned out to be a hangout for rowdy troublemakers. We did not sleep much due to the chaos.

Good spot for freedom camping.
Toilets nearby. Sadly, other campervans do not follow signage/rules. We found our campervan blocked in by extra campervans after 8pm. We stayed on a Friday night, the playground nearby was full of many loud children by morning. Fyi, if you are not keen on those sounds.

Good spot for a night's sleep.
Museum closes by 4:30. Security checks through the night. Motorway noises were not too bad. Public toilets over a nearby hill.
