What customers say
This is a well-maintained, peaceful site with friendly owners, particularly popular for fishing. Guests praise the clean facilities, nice views of the lakes, and convenient location for local attractions. However, some visitors noted significant noise from nearby aircraft, with limited shower and toilet facilities being a recurring concern for some. A few reviews mentioned issues with the condition of some toilet facilities and occasional noise from road traffic.

Neglected, care a less experience
Non-electric grass touring pitch
Liked Flat even pitch for my campervan
Disliked I arrived quite late in the day around 6.45pm but within the time frame stated on the website but reception was closed and no one appeared to be around. I called the mobile no which went to answer machine. I called the house no and a recorded voice said it was disconnected. I called the mobile no. again and one of the owners said simply knock on the door. When I finally got to speak to someone it felt that no one seemed to cared much whether I stayed to not.
One of the toilets had a dangerous hole in the floor right where you step in - an issue which had clearly been flagged in previous comments.
Not a campsite I would come back to ....

From the manager: Good afternoon
Sorry you experienced some dog mess I looked all over the pitch and just found some paper bags ,the shower cannot be built in brick only wooden structures are allowed on the planning permission.the shower and toilets are cleaned twice a day as for the waste bins we only have recycling now same as the domestic environment which was all situated at the main gate as you departed
Kind regards

Non-electric grass touring pitch
Liked That it was a small site and the welcome we got, advice on where we could get something to eat after a long drive, lots of things to do in the surrounding areas
Disliked toilet and showers could do with an upgrade, it is under the flightpath of the airport nearby, getting out of the site can be tricky with a campervan as cars drive fast.
