P1 and P2 have views of the mountains, and L1, L2 and L3 overlook our little lake). The powered sites are much like our unpowered sites, are mixed in together with the unpowered sites , and other than the powered sites have electricity supplied to them, you can't tell them apart.
- Not included: No potable water to the sites (there is a centralised treated drinking water tap for filling water bottles).
- Not included: There are no concrete pads (our sites are all grassy sites).
- Not included: There is no sullage at the sites. Grey water is ok to put on the ground which it readily soaks into.

All of our sites have something special about them. It might be they are shady, or are big, by our lake, have a fire place (available for use in late autumn, winter and spring) or have great views of the mountains.
This map is to scale, and some of the sites are huge. South 7 (S7) for example is 18 by 10 metres in size (180 square metres). Even North 3 (N3) is 8 by 9 metres in size.
