Although this site gets good reviews it is really a 10 Euro campsite I would have thought that while the chemical disposal was blocked and a temp put in they would have upgraded NO CHANCE.

Stopped of to visit friends on the campsite the elsen point was out of order as someone had dropped part of their toilet in and blocked it the temporary one you could see down about 8 feet into the sewer from the toilet block FAB this reminded me of some crap campsites I have been on.
