BEWARE: This is not a Freedom campsite. There are no signs to say no camping. I and others mistook this for a campsite with a similar name. I was woken around 11.30pm.

I was told this is because of how much money the theft has cost the council. Therefore I'll only give it three stars and when the showers are operating I'd more than likely...
