Hope it is useful for others who is checking the reviews before booking a campsite: most disgusting kettle (inside and outside) I even seen in a campsites - and there is only this one. Microwave doesn’t have its own inside plate. Outside of the microwave, you can see different old stains.

Definitly recommend for the price(15$ per night unp/pp), showers are 1$ for 5min but whilst you shower you can toss another dollar in. The chalets looked really nice. No noise of a buisy road. I would give 5/5 if the kitchen was closed to the outdoors and there was a couch room for campers ( you can chill in the...
