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
|

|
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
|

|
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. |
Return to the top of the page....
Return to Map
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 #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.
