Electric grass pitch
Liked: Have been to Makins a few times now. Such a lovely friendly place, if you love fishing it’s perfect- although I am the only one in my family that don’t fish, it’s such a lovely area to go for a walk, and there are a few lovely pubs around to!

Electric grass pitch
Liked: The toilets and showers were lovely, very quiet site even though it’s close to the motorway. Plenty of waterfowl to see, they are clearly investing in the place with lots of projects on the go. We aren’t remotely into fishing but still enjoyed our stay. Good kids play area and the Pygmy goats were delightful. Good spacious pitches, cafe on site.
Disliked: No Wi-Fi. It’s a lovely site though

Non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked: Upon arrival our van got stuck in the mud, completely our fault, didn't read the sign. We were very quickly pulled out by the helpful staff. The tent field was not suitable to camp on, due to the massive downpour the previous couple of days. Due to this, we were allowed to pitch up on the electric pitches and as a way of apology they said we could use the electricity for free. After that the weather was actually really nice for the time of year so we had a great weekend. The males enjoyed the fishing and I enjoyed the peace and quiet. This was our second visit to Makins and we will definitely visit again. The facilities were clean and extremely warm.
