Sadly would not recommend
Would not recommend this site to anyone staying in a camper van- the info prior to booking is unclear that you will be staying on the driveway of the hosts home, a few feet from the house with very little space.
Probably a pleasant site for campers- however the host was very unfriendly and rude. We decided not to stay and politely enquired if a refund was possible due to the misunderstanding and the fact we had only booked an hour prior. Host asked if I wanted it ‘spelt out in capital letters’

Very bad
You could not pay me to stay here. The photos are a scam- this is false advertising. Upon arrival we were shocked at how different the place looks to the photos on the app. There was rubbish and junk everywhere and enough feathers around it looked like a goose massacre (also the geese were very aggressive). We were given the “tour” and it was disgusting. The composting toilets were located in their storage shed that was full of junk. They wanted us to camp right next to these toilets because the rest of the “camp ground” was occupied by their “long term/ resident” camper who has been sleeping in their backyard for months. We were welcome to use their outdoor ammenities (shower/ bath) which was right outside their window- so not remotely private at all. On the other side of the fence right next to where we were told to sleep was a pile of old car tires- perfect environment for snakes.
Overall, the place was a mess and I would highly recommend staying anywhere else- we booked somewhere else last minute just so we didn’t need to stay there

We loved having the kayaks and river just out back! And the fact that there is a camp kitchen, potable water, and fridge is so helpful! Natalie and her family were lovely and full of suggestions for things to do in the area. And only 15 mins away from town!

It's pretty rough tbh, outdoor showers and compost toilet, rough but nice rough. Really nice host very helpful even though we were terribly late like 7

Backyard camp next to river
We really loved the location next to the river and the big comfy beds with a shelter that kept us (mostly) dry that we didn’t need to pack up at the end. There was a giant trampoline and some cute bunnies, hens, baby chicks and a duck. There were a few issues with the geese being aggressive (we had our 7yo son with us and had to stay vigilant that they didn’t chase him, us or attack the mother hen and her chicks - very stressful so we couldn’t relax)., and lack of supplies in the camp kitchen (we were there for 4 days and told it was equipped and didn’t need to bring anything). We have given feedback to Natalie so hopefully it will be better for the next visitors.
