The pitch

Pitches are consistently described as spacious and generous in size, which aligns well with the good score. Multiple visitors across different comments highlight the roominess of the pitches as a positive feature, with the extensive grounds providing ample space for caravans and awnings.
The location
Campsite set in forest and lakeside. Supermarket approx 1500m away. Restaurant within 100m. Certifications and labels: 4 stars. Reception languages: English. Guests describe the campsite as in a wooded area with mixed trees; Public transport options mentioned: boat or ferry.
The on-site shop is minimal—there is no permanent shop facility, but fresh bread and pastries are reliably delivered each morning, a practical convenience that several commenters appreciate. This service appears seasonal or at least consistent during peak periods. For wider shopping needs, visitors should plan to travel to nearby larger supermarkets, as the campsite itself does not stock general groceries.
Also worth knowing
Arrival is straightforward and welcoming, with guests consistently noting warm reception and adequate parking for check-in. The good score reflects a smooth, hospitable process that sets a positive tone from the moment you pull in.
The campsite demonstrates adequate eco-awareness with dedicated recycling and rubbish bins available across the grounds, and proactive advice offered to guests about renewable energy use on non-electric pitches. However, practical sustainability gaps emerge—notably the absence of hand-drying facilities in bathrooms (encouraging paper waste) and limited glass recycling infrastructure—which suggests room for improvement in comprehensive resource management.
