VW-Type Campervan - Electric Grass PitchesMay 2026

Really enjoyed our stay, on arrival our pitch was messed up by someone parking too far over for our camper with awning. So the helpful young lady came out and guided us to another pitch which actually worked out better for us anyway. Really spacious and peaceful, simplicity at its best. Exceptionally clean facilities, kids play area just everything you need really, will definitely be returning. Thanks.

A beautiful and clean place
