What customers say
This is a peaceful, spacious campsite, praised for its friendly and helpful staff, particularly Colin. Visitors highlight the lovely lake scenery, plentiful fish for anglers, and well-maintained, tidy grounds. While facilities are described as basic and in need of updating, they are generally clean and functional with hot water. Some mention issues with nettles and occasional noise from a nearby pub, but many intend to return.

Toilets are a disaster, and the pitches are crowded

From the manager: Hi,
Everyone that I spoke to, including you, told me that everything was fine. I can't correct faults unless I am made aware of them.
Telling me one thing to my face and then writing a review like this helps nobody.
On previous Bank Holidays I have had over 30 pitches filled, with no-one complaining about space. This year there weren't even 20 pitches taken (my conscious decision). As I have 26 hookups I don't believe that you would have found a more spacious pitch over the August Bank Holiday.
Thanks for not coming back, I really appreciate it.

Electric grass motorhome pitch
Liked Neighbours were nice. Field was well tended.
Disliked Showers 🤢😡. NOT CLEAN. Going mouldy. Hot water took about 10 minutes to come through, then intermittent. Desperately tried to find somewhere else to stay so wouldn’t have to use the shower, but everywhere else full up due to Bank holiday. Shower block definitely needs demolishing and a new one building. Elsan point was disgusting with the “obvious” being smeared round the rough concrete enclosure. You could smell it before you got anywhere near it 🤮. We don’t fish, but lake/pond looked stagnant around the edges and not many access points due to severe overgrowth of grasses, etc. Other than fishing, not much to do nearby without travelling. Only wildlife we saw was rabbits. Will definitely not be going back. Photos of site very misleading until you get to the end of them and then some truth can be seen.

From the manager: Your neighbours were your friends!
Neither of you liked it when you couldn't get your own way over making us move some Chinese customers further away from you!
I don't care what lies you want to spout, and I'm extremely pleased that you won't be coming back.

Excellent place to stay
Electric grass motorhome pitch
Liked The site has everything you need.
The lakes are well kept with really clean pegs.
Liked the people that worked there, really friendly and extremely helpful.
Couldn't have asked for more
Disliked Could get WiFi and signal but it is dependent on who you are with.
I am BT (EE) and it wasn't the best.
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Thank you for your kind words.
I fully understand the frustration over mobile reception. It's particularly ironic that there's a mobile transmitter 50yds from the shower block. Just to rub salt in, I am also with EE, and I can't get reception from my own tower!!!
I will pass your comments on to Dave.
I look forward to seeing you again.
Very best regards
