    Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Een heerlijke plek, met veel ruimte om te staan, aan het water en met volop vogels in de buurt. Julie en Mark zijn leuke eigenaren die een prachtige plek hebben uitgekozen om een camping te starten. Super fijn om hier na een paar dagen wildkamperen te kunnen landen, te douchen en de vaat te kunnen doen, zonder dat je tussen de grote campers en seizoensplaatsen inzit. We zijn heel benieuwd wat ze er de komende jaren verder mee gaan doen, de plannen beloven veel goeds en we kunnen niet wachten om terug te komen!

    Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Lovely camping with tent and caravan spots right by the lake and further up, giving amazing views. Excellent shower 👍 It's between Notodden and Gvarv/Bø - great location for day trips and MANY hiking options and lakes in the area. Supersweet owners who put their love and soul in the place, making the most out of this gorgeous location. We'll be back!

    Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Nydelig plass som vi har vært på flere ganger før. Fredelig, fin utsikt mot vannet. Vi bodde i en hytte med toalett, så denne gangen benyttet vi oss ikke av felles-sanitæranleggene, så de fikk vi ikke sjekket.
