"Really lovely location with views over the surrounding hills. Well located for the crater
Wonderful staff, great to see local young people being trained up.
Very good food.
Comfortable tents - the hot water bottles every evening were a very nice (and much appreciated) touch!
Nice, albeit chilly, pool"

A spectacular location and very pleased we went, but it felt very crowded

"We loved this camp! Fantastic location, really lovely tents and excellent food, but it was Angel and the other staff that made it so special. We really felt like it was a home away from home.
e.g. they surprised us on our last day with a special bush breakfast"
