Powered sites are there for those wishing to plug in for longer stays, with unpowered sites as well for those who want to simply pitch a tent and enjoy the outdoors. The level grassy sites combined with wide roadways are well laid out, so there’s room to reverse big caravans with no trouble. Onsite facilities are very nice, with a big camp kitchen hosting a gas stove, loads of
stainless-steel benchtops, two big sinks and two barbecues, as well as jugs, pots, pans and a shared fridge freezer, of course. It’s all undercover and has generous seating for the whole family. The swimming pool is beautiful on a hot day and once again, there’s plenty of room for everyone to enjoy the water. The pool tapers down gradually, so that kids feel safe getting in while their adults relax on a sunlounge under the sail shade. The toilets and showers are modern and very clean, even with the park at full capacity when we stayed over * continued P69
