Price has doubled this summer compared to last summer !! It is in a good location for cycling however it would be better if the price rmained as it was at ■5 like summer 2011. I would have definitely came to the campsite aug 2011 if the price was the same but it is too expensive at the moment for what is on offer there. If I was running it, I would reduce price back to cater for cyclists who just sleep there and then use trail in day because the trail us free of charge
