Well worth it. Direct access to a small river beach for a refreshing swim. Small, quiet campsite, full of shade. Bring cash because they do not accept cards.
A beautiful little campsite! Great location, everything very clean, and unbeatable for the price in the surrounding area. You have to bring your own toilet paper.
The site is basically okay. In many respects, time has taken its toll on the place. If the site wants to compete at its price—two people, motorhome, electricity, €31 per night—it should really be renovated.
Very peaceful, lots of shade. Friendly welcoming hosts. Immaculeatly clean toilet/shower block. Bread available to order for the morning. Small shop with limited supplies including cold beer from the fridge and other drinks. Cash only. Showers are hot but take a while to heat up. We stayed 2 nights for €46. 2 adults and small campervan.
Small but impressive. We liked it very much. The steep entrance is initially alarming, but there is no danger for any vehicle. The owner was very helpful and friendly. Very clean sanitary facilities. Toilet paper must be brought yourself. We would gladly come again.
We had 3 quiet nights here, except for the sound of the river and the many birds! Lovely owner. Facilities are outdated, but clean.
A truly wonderful, idyllic campsite! Yes, it is basic, but integrated into the nature of the national park. We received a very friendly welcome and were even allowed to pick oranges. The showers simply take up to two minutes to heat up; we were told this right at the beginning, so it was not a problem. We would gladly come again!
We absolutely loved this place. It s small, rural and in the middle of greenery. If no one there there s a phone number to call but you can just go and hook up. We read commentaries about the water not being hot. We asked the proprietor and he said you need to let it run for 2 minutes as it s a long circuit. Water was piping hot. We recommended that he should make people aware. Very clean. Lovely
Nice little campsite with direct access to the lake. We stayed for three wonderful nights and enjoyed delicious bread rolls each day from a friendly manager. We took a beautiful walk. No fifth star because the shower water is not hot every time.
We had a very relaxing stay. Super nice host, who has lots of tips about hikes and such. The site was very quiet in the off-season, with some beautiful spots overlooking the lake. Many activities are possible nearby.
€46 for two nights for two people, a campervan and one day of electricity in the off-season. - The Wi-Fi does not cover the campsite. - No hot water in the facilities, including during the supposed hot-water hours. - Facilities rather run-down. - A chorus of dogs during the night. You decide.
Very nice and calm campground next to the lake. The toilets are clean and the owner is super friendly. I'd definitely come back.
The site is beautifully located, with a very friendly welcome. Many people in tents; we got the impression that some of them live here permanently and behaved rather inconsiderately, with loud radios and televisions all day. The access to the lake is excellent, and the water was pleasantly warm.
Dream campsite, very well maintained and shady. Direct access to the water, sanitary facilities very clean. The only drawback was cold water for washing dishes. The owner was extremely helpful and drove us into town to shop. €28 for two people, a camper and six dogs.
Overcrowded, very noisy campsite, with small pitches. Campers, both tents and vans, are packed together. Too small for motorhomes. Very dirty facilities. The manager does not care about his guests' well-being—a real jungle. In the small swimming area, loud music and people smoking weed. Avoid it if you are looking for peace and nature.
Beautiful, green site. Some pitches are shady and spacious. Very nice access to the reservoir! Not many pitches for campers, but several for tents. Some camper pitches are beautifully located overlooking the water, while others are more on the edge in the sun. The sanitary facilities are somewhat old but clean, which is the main thing. €40 per night for three people, a motorhome, a tent and electricity.
Friendly campsite and staff. The facilities and campsite itself are clean and in good condition. Tiny, very tiny swimming area, but enough to cool off! A beach is about 1 km from the campsite. €24 for one adult and one child with a car, rooftop tent and electricity for two.
The site is nicely located among olive and orange trees and beside the water. The sanitary facilities are showing their age but are okay. There is no hot water at the washbasins or dishwashing sinks. We paid €30 for one night, including electricity, motorhome, two people and two dogs.
Nice small site. Owner was very helpful until he thought we were leaving without paying. We had paid cash and then asked where the nearest bank was. This must have confused him. After some dialogue he accepted it. However after time we were so upset we returned to site offering to pay again. He refused 2nd payment thankfully. The bank conversation must have confused him. Insist on a receipt cash
For us, a peaceful overnight stay by the river, a fine spot and a nice owner. Traveling by camper with a little dog, we paid €23.50 without electricity.
Campsite in the middle of nature, surrounded by peaceful olive trees. Contrary to some comments, we found the facilities clean and smelling fresh. They are basic, certainly, but for the price we have no complaints.
The campsite is very nice and directly on the lake, with a very peaceful and pleasant atmosphere, and the owners are very friendly. That is why it gets three stars, but most of the rest is unacceptable. The showers are quite run-down, very difficult to adjust, and the showerhead is installed at hip height. The water at the dishwashing area is cold, and the laundry smells after washing.
Simple and clean campsite, a little enclave in this area popular with tourists. We spent two nights there under the olive trees. Services are available, including a washing machine.
The price-quality ratio is not right. The campsite is not romantic but messy. Narrow camper pitches without separation. €14 instead of €20 would have been more appropriate. The sanitary facilities are indeed old but reasonably clean. The owners are friendly and helpful.
Not for people who want luxury camping. For everyone else, a place that makes the heart beat faster. Unfortunately, there are only a few romantic, natural sites like this left, with very kind operators. One can only hope that this site retains its own charm for a long time.
Very pleasant and quiet campsite. Only 12 camper/caravan pitches. Many tents. Facilities are okay. The manager is very kind. Maps of the area and hiking routes are available at reception. You stand among olive and orange trees. Wonderful. Camper and two people without electricity: €20. Beautiful surroundings.
Small campsite, clean bathrooms, hot water. Small shop next to reception. It was closed when we arrived, but there is a phone number on the reception door and the lady appeared within five minutes. Helpful and charming.
Simple but good motorhome stop! The price is reasonable; you have everything you need.
Very nice simple nature campsite. €19 for a van and two adults without electricity. The campsite is small, with somewhat tight access, but we got through without any problem with a truck 7 m long, 2.9 m high and 2.2 m wide.
