This campsite was perfect for what I needed. I was on a solo trip sleeping in my car and had the best spot (I would say) on the campsite- the lady who was at reception was lovely. The facilities were small and basic but I wasn’t expecting a lot for the middle of nowhere. The campsite was lovely and quiet and I had a break in the rain to have an amazing fire. Definitely going to visit again!
Very quiet site, semi wild

Semi wild site with showers and toilets. Beautiful views and a small river running through it. A short walk away there is a pub that does food and drink at reasonable prices.
Good location
