点评:We recently stayed at Drum Manor Forest Park Campsite and had quite a mixed experience. On the positive side, it’s a relatively inexpensive place to camp and set in a beautiful forest with lots of walking trails (though some of them were unfortunately taped off during our visit). It’s also in a great location for exploring Northern Ireland, with easy access to places like Derry, Belfast, and the Giant’s Causeway.
When we arrived, the bathroom was flooded, but thankfully that was fixed quickly. The biggest problem is that the site is completely unmanaged. There’s no reception or staff presence, and when we tried to raise a concern, we were told the phone lines weren’t open. The campsite operates on a first-come, first-served basis with no allocated pitches, which can lead to unnecessary frustration. For example, we left our tent to visit Derry and returned to find that someone had taken our parking spot and pitched their tent right next to us.
The facilities also leave something to be desired. Toilets and showers are only cleaned once a day, which just isn’t enough when the site is busy. Noise was another major issue; there were large family gatherings, loud adults, and kids running around having water fights well into the evening. With no staff around, there was no one to enforce any kind of noise control, so it often felt chaotic.
While the natural surroundings and location are definite highlights, the lack of site management and basic organisation made for a frustrating and at times unpleasant experience.
翻译:我们最近在鼓庄园森林公园露营地(Drum Manor Forest Park Campsite)住了一晚,体验好坏参半。好的一面是,这是一个相对便宜的露营地,坐落在美丽的森林中,有很多步道(不过我们入住期间,有些步道不幸被封锁了)。它的位置也非常适合探索北爱尔兰,交通便利,可以轻松前往德里、贝尔法斯特和巨人之路等地。
我们到达时,浴室被水淹了,但幸好很快就修好了。最大的问题是营地完全无人管理。没有前台,也没有工作人员,当我们试图提出问题时,却被告知电话线路没有开通。营地采用先到先得的原则,没有固定的帐篷,这可能会导致不必要的麻烦。例如,我们离开帐篷去德里游玩,回来后发现有人占了我们的停车位,把帐篷搭在我们旁边。
设施也有一些不足之处。厕所和淋浴每天只清洁一次,这在场地繁忙时根本不够。噪音是另一个主要问题;经常会有大型家庭聚会、吵闹的成年人以及到深夜还在打水仗的孩子们。由于没有工作人员在场,也没有人负责任何噪音控制措施,所以现场常常显得混乱。
虽然自然环境和地理位置无疑是亮点,但缺乏场地管理和基本的组织安排,导致体验令人沮丧,有时甚至不愉快。
