Many reviews mention how this setup allows for spontaneous discoveries.

Guests also have access to facilities like a WC, shower, and a cauldron of fire—all in a scenic setting surrounded by fairy chimneys and natural rock formations. The setup feels safe and thoughtfully arranged, which can be a relief for first-time campers or those wary of rugged, back-to-nature experiences.
