With an average rating of 4.3, the camp boasts a welcoming atmosphere, with many guests praising the friendly and helpful staff, particularly Ted and Ben, who go out of their way to assist visitors. The hostel features cozy communal spaces and well-equipped kitchens, creating a community vibe, perfect for socializing and sharing experiences.
