Having just returned from a short break at this camp I feel the need to warn prospective visitors. The campsite do not provide sufficient amperage for all clients to use their electric heaters at the same time so we spent the whole week freezing both morning and night. When we complained the site just commented that we must understand that they cannot heat the whole site!! They also use an annoying card system for all payments which means that it is easier to hide excessive fees for activities or foodstuffs. The facilities are well below expected standards and the levels of service show a total disregard ofr any customer rights. You have been warned.
