We meet the owner as we kayaked down the river without any reservation or even knowing we was calling. Well what can I say!!! Wow the lady could do enough for us, she pulled out all the stops for us and made us feel so welcomed. We are so very grateful to you and will definitely be back with a proper booking in the better weather. 😄👍

The lovely campsite owner Cathy welcomed us to our plot. There was plenty of space around us and we were right beside the river. It was a perfect break. We couldn't recommend the site any more.
