Apsolutely gorgeous spot!! Don't think rangers come and check regularly though. There was a huuuuge family of like 15 living there, they had music on full volume all day & night - they looked like they've been there for ages, probably also for free. Made a huge mess and did not let anyone sleep. We just wanted a pieceful night sleep in the nature :(

Absolutely our favourite place!! Only annoying thing is people parking in parking area very early in the morning and not being considerate... slamming doors and talk loudly!!
