A note from the site themselves...

The site is beautiful and has the most amazing shower block ever. On a clear night the stars are unbelievable and you can just lie and watch the activities up above for hours. Staff running the park are friendly, welcoming and ready to help anyone out at anytime and always with a smile on their face.

It is a great place to work and that shines through to the customers. It has an easy going, relaxed atmosphere and a feeling that you are in a totally different country.
