What guests indicate

  • Pitch boundaries poorly marked and access roads very rough (soft sand, roots, rocks) — difficult for caravans and large motorhomes.
  • Many pitches have large trees in the middle, limiting tent/canopy setup options and shade control — request shaded pitch explicitly at booking.
  • Reception not staffed reliably at standard check-in times — arrive early or confirm arrival window in advance.
