Large free camping area. There are two toilets without flush and no toilet paper. The sites offer a beautiful view of the lake but the road is quite noisy during the day. At night it remains relatively quiet.

I'd highly recommend coming here, if you like wine, want somewhere unique to spend the night or want to discover some local history in a laid-back setting. The owners have created an amazing vineyard and kept things exactly as they would have been from around 150 years ago. The wine tasting and produce is delicious!
Off on a main road next to the river, very peaceful. Toilets were ok but bring your own toilet paper just in case. Do bear in mind that because it is off the main road, you do get a few people pulling over during the day and night just to use the toilets, so don’t be spooked, but I can see how it can be a worry for solo campers.
Staying here for two nights so far, max of three. Very peaceful, because of its quiet setting the toilets are relatively clean. It is “free” but advised you donate in the honesty box as it helps fund the maintenance of the toilets and the cutting of the grass. Be kind, donate a fair amount depending on your length of stay! Would recommend to anyone passing by these empty towns and fields for a peaceful night stay.
