Weekend Trip to The LakesThis is a lovely property and we ended up having a great stay, but first-time visitors should be aware that arrival instructions and communication are quite limited.
Before booking, it wasn’t clear whether this was a single site Hipcamp or a shared property. When we arrived, there were already other campers set up, which came as a surprise.
The Hipcamp instructions suggested messaging the host to meet at the gate and be shown to the campsite, but this wasn’t an option during our stay, we were told to just drive in. With no designated sites, it wasn’t obvious where we were meant to camp or which areas were suitable. We eventually found a spot by following an existing fire pit.
Although there were multiple campers, the sites are well spread out, so it still felt quite private and not cramped. Once settled, the property itself is beautiful and we had a great time.
We also pre-ordered firewood, but there were no instructions on where or how to collect it. There was a small bundle at the front gate, but no guidance on how much to take.
Overall, it’s a great spot and we would stay again now that we know the layout. However, a bit more upfront communication would really help first-time visitors feel less lost on arrival.
