In reply to Alun:
Just a quick anti-recommendation for Hill End Camping https://maps.app.goo.gl/v4XA7vXhGWiUMr1R7! Heres my review from 5 years ago (I suppose it might have changed owners since then)
> I will be recommending this campsite to my friends, so that they too can experience the comical levels of hostility offered by the staff. It’s so bad it could actually be a tourist attraction in itself. A shame that such a beautiful and well situated campsite is ruined by this
Actually, I browsed a few recent reviews and it seems like nothing has changed. Heres one from 3 weeks ago:
> Let me start with the positives. It’s a very short list. The location is absolutely stunning, no doubt about that. Nature did all the hard work here because sadly the campsite management, or should I say Mafia, certainly didn’t. This campsite is wildly overpriced and run like a bizarre, over-the-top parody of a mafia organisation. The staff, a group of older individuals riding around in golf buggies, seem to have appointed themselves campsite overlords. They bark orders at guests in a manner that can only be described as Gestapo-esque. Unless you enjoy being monitored, questioned and patronised while trying to relax, I’d strongly suggest enjoying the beautiful surroundings from literally anywhere else nearby.
Its a rip-off, driving into it feels like entering some kind of military complex, and the staff are abusive, especially (sadly) if you are unfortunate enough to be English. I distinctly remember a large group of Welsh folk next to us getting drunk and making a racket into the wee hours, and having not a word said to them, while our group were berated for, amongst other things, closing a car boot too loudly after 9pm.
Avoid, avoid, avoid.
