07/23 two nights with campervan. Peaceful, lots of space, clean toilets/showers, two nice young lads doing customerservice. Nice place!

Nice campsite with clean bathrooms. Showers don't have seperate stalls, but that was not a limitation for us. Enough inside facilities to wash up, or cook if you did not bring anything to cook on. We were there only for one night with a tent, but had a much more positive experience than some other reviews.
