Just a location with access to a shower and a look of kitchen in containers 🤣, friendly welcome from the proprio but it is not worth $50 in any case !!!
Terrible! I felt very uncomfortable and unsafe. The owner was very unfriendly and insulting. It’s not worth a single cent to sleep here, and it’s not worth arguing with the owner either. It’s just a parking spot in his backyard not a campsite. The directions to the campsite were very misleading and even contained errors. When we asked for clarification, the owner reacted in an annoyed and aggressive way instead of being understanding. Don’t make the same mistake we did and go to a different camp

I can't understand some of the comments. It's a very quiet place with friendly, helpful people who also give you the opportunity to relax on the terrace and enjoy the evening. Robert is a cool, trustworthy guy who's really good to chat with. The bathroom was clean, there's a kitchen, and direct electricity. Even in an emergency (greywater), all the residents kindly helped us. 10/10
Bad directions road is closed so access is minimal. Not a campsite. BAD BAD BAD
Horrible place, did not feel my self safe and decided to leave after the owner came out to ”warmly welcome” us to the place. The animals doesnt look happy.
“Sorry to have caught you on a wrong day. We treasure our animals, and all are healthy and happy to share themselves with visitors.”
Its not a campsite, you just park on the driveway and you are sharing bathroom with some guys who are living there and all night they were walking around our car and making noise. I was scared and definitely can’t recommend this place. Also the kitchen is not a kitchen but just electric kettle. If we would not come at 9 at the evening and had change to book another place, we would definitely leave.
“Definitely a Driveway Park, we do not claim to be a campsite! (There is a mown grass area where two large family tents can be erected.) But: Occasionally share a dedicated visitors bathroom with two others - noting full privacy with double doors in bathroom/toilet area. Kitchen has always had and to this day: a gas ring, microwave, hot water tub for dishes and even, yes, a kettle! We did that night I found out had two Asian visitors busy on their phones (Unusual), had we been contacted; it would have been fixed. We apologize. No apology for the kitchen, basic, covered and functional with hot water and lights as always”
This is not a traditional campsite. But I don’t regret stopping there for one night. The welcome of the owner, his humor and his kindness are worth the detour. Of course, the facilities are not those of a 5 star, but they are sufficient (bathroom, hot water, equipped kitchen) and the atmosphere of this farm is better than all the facilities in the world. Stop for a night and the birdsong will wake you up at sunrise.
“Thank you for saying as it is, a Driveway Park with added dedicated facilities with a great atmosphere. We have over 14 years' experience as hosts, so we do our best to make you comfortable and have a positive memorable stay.”
Is not even a campsite. No bathroom, there is a fake kitchen where there’s not chance to cook. There are not any kind of rubbish bin . The owner is kind, it could be a B&B but definitely not a campsite.

Over-rated in the description. Way too expensive for what you get. If you care about cleanliness and privacy, think twice about staying here.
