    The camp site itself has a dumpstation and drinking water. I didn’t like that there were so many sandflies in the morning and evening. I got bitten so many times so definitely recommend bringing some spray and maybe some type of afterbite. Location is okay you have a library 5-10min away with wifi and some plugs where you can charge you things. The hot pools are nice and free! Showers in the ladies room are cold except the one in the front! You can stay here but remember toilets close at 8pm.

    Has good dump and water fill station. And the stream is super cute. Didn't use the free heated pools next door. Toilets are far away and locked at night. Vibes feel weird with solo guys in cars loitering around. Area feels sad

    As a solo traveler, I felt very unsafe, lots of strange men running around, public toilet closed at 8pm.

    Swimming pools closed until the 25th of October. Lots of space for SC camping.

    Good location, quiet and close to a small river, but without any particular view. No limited number of places and there is also a complete dump point on site. Several toilets nearby open from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. There is a free swimming pool with hot shower nearby and several shops.

    Location is handy to amenities, and loved using the free hot pools and showers almost next-door, however the noise from the local bars was very loud. As a single traveller, being so close to late night revellers and loud music, I did not have a restful stay. One night only. (I stayed on a Friday night).

    We stayed two nights and really enjoyed it. Quiet place with only a few locals hanging around. Drinking water is available. The pool right next to the campsite is for free, including spa and showers! The only negative thing is the missing toilets, there is one open till 4pm (on weekends 2pm) and the pool toilets. For self contained vehicles no problem though. Would definitely recommend.

    Nice spot, and quiet space to park. But the city is not very nice. Drinkable water on the site, but no toilets except the public ones on the city but closed at night. Good point : the pool is free ! There is an outside pool to swim, a spa and showers ! :)

    Perfect, quiet, very close to the free swimming pool. Toilets 5 minutes away, very clean. We were there one night.
