It was really good, I had clear communication from the start, easy booking process too. The only problem I encountered was that someone had broken the toilet lock that night, which means I couldn't use the toilet, as people kept opening the door. Didn't feel comfortable trying again. But apart from that, it was a lovely stay and I would certainly go back.

We visited this campsite the other weekend and spend a few nights there in our tent. The people who owned the campsite were really friendly and made us feel welcome. It is a lovely location with Ashbourne on your door step. Also there is an Aldi and Marks and Spencer down the roads. Perfect if you want to go and spend the day at Dovedale too. Overall, we had a very positive experience and would definitely be visiting again.
