The campsite is really lovely and offers a stunning view! They have a restaurant on site that serves simple food, but it would be nice if they had more healthy options. I wasn't a fan of the prepaid shower system where you have to pay 50 cents for 5 minutes of hot water. The machine is located outside the shower cabin, and no matter what coin you use, the display always shows 1. I'm not sure what it means. Despite that, it's a fantastic location and the ideal spot to relax and rejuvenate.
