Stayed there a few years ago… Lovely spot but the noise of the wind farm was a bit annoying.
Have been there on numerous occassions. Great spot. Gets really busy over the Christmas holiday period. Showers are only cold. Toilet facilities cleaned every week day but not at weekend. Firewood available from farmer across road. Never heard the wind farm on any occassion.
Great spot. Stayed late Dec 2018. water level of dam about half. Been here before, will be back!
