Getting Here Once On The Island
Google maps will bring you into Kneep and then abandon you at a random spot on the hillside in the middle of the village, but once you have reached Kneep, you will be able to spot The Beach Bothies camping pods easily enough on the sand dune at the end of the village. Please phone us if you have any problems!
