Site #6  

Our most remote site is very large and located in a pine forest. Makes an excellent winter camping site if you’re up for the hike into it! Lots of trees around to string up tarps. Only downside is it is a bit far from the kybos!

Site #7

Site 7

A small site located in a dense pine forest. If you are a small group looking for a quiet site then this is the one for you! Site is fully shaded.

Site #8  

Just down the path from site #7 this is a slightly larger site but is also in a dense pine forest so it is fully shaded. There are lots of trees around to string up shelters. It is also close to site #10 and is often booked in conjunction with site #10 for those who wish to have a forest site in addition to the open glade.

Site #9  

Site 9

An open glade in the pine forest, this site is open and adjacent to site #10. Often booked in conjunction with site #10 to provide space for playing games or setting up large tents.

Site #10  

An open glade site with access to pine forest on both sides. To the South an ideal space to string up tarps for a kitchen shelter and to the North more pine forest that many small tents can be set up in. If large field areas are required it is suggested that site #9 be booked as well as they are in the same glade, separated by only a small copse.

Site 10

Site #11

Site 11

Another site in the pine forest but here the forest is a bit less dense so some sunlight will filter through. Still lots of trees around to string up tarps and it is beside a large field that is ideal for any activities that take up a lot of space.
