“The main reason for choosing Podpads was ease, not having to carry, put up and take down our own tent in the rain and knowing our belongings would be safe and dry.”
“I stayed before its just so easy not having to bring your own tent”
“I liked the additional security and the provision of facilities, normally I would stay in hotels but was happy to stay on site as we were using Podpads.”
“Great staff, very helpful!”
“We will never go back to slumming it camping in our tent!”
“We are not seasoned campers so this looked like (and was) a great option!”
