I was there last month and yes, they had just started work on the new toilet block. Other rumour was that a caretaker was going to be installed onsite due to problems with vandalism and the old "knock off the loo paper" occurrences .... I guess with these upgrades the possibility of its life as a free camp may be under scrutiny. I know in the 3 weeks we were there, at least once a week the toilets were either on the blink or out of water!. Most campers got around the water problem by taking a bucket of water from the lake each time they wanted to use the amenities.

One of the best campsites we have stayed at.
