Looking for your own place, as if you were alone in the world?
​
Then you are in the right place with us. We are a small-scale project, you sometimes meet each other at the communal sanitary facilities or at the campfire place, but most tents are far apart.
​
A few tents are deliberately closer to the communal bathrooms and kitchen, which is useful if you have smaller children. You can choose your own spot in consultation. .. At least if you book in time.
