The first thing you notice is how still it is — just birdsong and the rustle of leaves, that particular hush you only get when you've properly left the noise behind.
S5 offers a choice between camping pods and chalets, so whether you're after a cosy wooden capsule or a bit more space to spread out, there's something here. It's worth asking ahead if you're bringing the dog — they're flexible but like to know in advance. The setup suits couples looking for a quiet escape or small families who don't need all the bells and whistles, just a decent base and some breathing room.
Facilities aren't listed in detail, so it's one to contact directly to check what's onsite. Campfires are sometimes allowed depending on conditions — ask when you arrive rather than assuming. The vibe feels low-key and uncluttered, the sort of place where you bring what you need and enjoy the simplicity of it.
