I came late, unprepared and tired. Still the wonderful staff handled me and my very tired dog and welcomed us wonderfully. The campsite had a lovely take one leave one library with a lot of dvds. All the other guests I spoke to were nice. The foot paths around the site were spectacular. I will definitely go back ok my next trip up north
