What customers say
This is a peaceful, basic campsite in a beautiful lakeside location, offering lovely views and opportunities for wildlife spotting, swimming, and paddleboarding. The friendly owners and great value for money are highlights. A new toilet and shower block is under construction, which guests are looking forward to. Limited facilities, including a portaloo, were noted by some, and finding the site could occasionally be difficult.

Lovely lakeside stay
Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked Lovely spot on side of lake, very pretty and peaceful. Next to nature reserve where I enjoyed walking, many kinds of waterbirds on lake. Lake was perfect for paddleboard and cooling dips. Very enjoyable stay.
Had difficulty finding the site( sat.nav
not to be trusted) but Sally and family were very helpful and friendly and soon sorted me out. Facilities basic, as clearly stated, though there is now a new, very clean, flushing toilet and showers will be ready soon n

Anonymous Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked Back to basics in a peaceful location with water, fishing and walks. Nottingham a short bus/taxi/car ride away. Cheap.
Disliked Very basic with portaloo and single tap (though it looked like a shower block was being installed). Narrow access road shared with wedding venue can get crowded
