What customers say
This is a highly-rated campsite praised for its beautiful, peaceful location and well-maintained, clean facilities. Visitors highlight the spacious pitches, friendly and helpful owners, and abundance of wildlife. While most found the experience excellent, some noted the unisex facilities, the need to purchase tokens for showers, and that the site can be sloping. Despite minor points, many expressed a desire to return.

Quiet location.
Non-electric grass pitch
Liked It was not busy and there was plenty of space to pick from although it was all on a slope … the few flat pitches were taken!
The toilet, shower and washing up areas were clean and tidy but with limited hot water!
Disliked The sloped pitches.

A lovely stay though.
Non-electric grass pitch
Liked Beautiful and quiet. A very peaceful stay.
Disliked We discovered that the lake is no longer available to guests, which was disappointing. We have elderly dogs, so there wasn't really anywhere too walk them. There wasn't any info warning us that the lake was no longer open on the website. I think the photos of the pond area should be taken off if you can't walk around it anymore. Or at least a statement put up to let us know before we book. We weren't the only campers disappointed that it wasn't open.

From the manager: The photos on the website of a lake is NOT our lake it’s Clanna ponds - a short walk up the lane. (There are no photos of our lake on the website or any access available to our lake which is rented from us by a private fishing syndicate) There are lots of photos on the website of the local area including a shop a pub and various other things we don’t own. The land adjacent to the enclosed campsite is private property and clearly marked as private property. If you had asked I could have told you where to go 😁

A fabulous, quite campsite.
Non-electric grass pitch
Liked The owners were welcoming when we arrived. Campsite was clean and it was a good size field so that there was space between pitches. Toilets and showers were clean, the shower was powerful and lasted long enough. Pubs were a short walk away and the food available was yummy.
Disliked Nothing.
