Nearby Attractions:
|
Beaches, caves, vineyards etc. etc. Wonderful area. We sincerely hope this park never changes.
This is what ALL caravan parks should be like. The free form style of sites that are not placed
one on top of the other in little rows like other parks, the lovely trees and the nice quiet
surrounds make this one of the best caravan parks we have ever seen.
