What customers say
This adults-only campsite offers a peaceful rural escape with stunning views and abundant wildlife. Visitors praise the spacious, well-maintained pitches, clean facilities, and the welcoming, helpful hosts, Dave and Ingrid. Direct access to beautiful walks around the mere and canal, a cosy communal area, and a relaxed atmosphere are frequently highlighted. While most found no faults, some noted narrow access roads, occasional issues with pitch levelling, and Wi-Fi coverage limitations. Hot tub hire and fire pit availability were appreciated extras.

Liked Lovely place to stay nice and peaceful would go again.
Disliked Wasn't told the hot tub wasn't working properly before paying for it.

From the manager: Just to reiterate there was no problem with the hot tub at all when you hired it.
The hot tub is not driven by electric therefore has no bubbles . Sorry if this was a problem for you, as this has never been questioned before by anyone.
Thanks

Otter camping pod
Liked Such a lovely quiet but busy site.
All facilities were fabulous.
The communal kitchen area was just perfect! Cosy, seating area.
Set in a beautiful landscape. Lots of little ponds, trees and a very pretty mere to walk straight out of the site onto with a circular walk around it.
Disliked Not a lot!
A double edge sword - doesn’t take children which in many respects was lovely but I’d love to go back as a family.
Recommend to friends Visit again
Definitely worth a visit. Great site, facilities and staff.
Otter camping pod
Liked Have stayed several times in the past and the setting is what draws us back time after time. We use the 'pods' as I'm too old to try and negotiate getting in/out of a tent!
The site itself is kept spotlessly clean by Ingrid and Dave can be seen looking after the upkeep of the pitches. The site has spacious pitches covering 4 fields with a mixture of camping, caravans, motorhome and pods. As an adults only site it is lovely and tranquil with plenty of walks starting from the site. There is the lake immediately on the edge of the site with walks that can vary from 20 minutes to around 4 hrs plus. Canal walk into Ellesmere too.
Our stay this time was for my husbands 70th birthday. I mentioned it to Ingrid in passing and she very kindly dropped off a lovely bottle of wine. Such a lovely, kind personal touch which was greatly appreciated but totally unexpected.
Another fantastic stay. We promise not to leave it too long before returning!

Anonymous Otter camping pod
Liked My first time going anywhere for the night by myself with my two dogs and I couldn’t have been happier or more comfortable. I stayed in the Badger pod which was so cosy and thoughtfully put together, inside was a double wooden framed bed, a sofa, tv and kettle. The bed was super comfortable and the pod was so cosy! Everyone on site was really friendly and my two dogs had a lovely time. There is direct access to the lake walk from the site which was perfect. I will definitely be back!

Lovely quiet location adults only bonus great little find
Otter camping pod
Liked Remote location, adults only so suited us. We had a pod which was great cosy and warm. Amazing walks with the dogs around the lake.
Disliked Can’t say the welcome was as warm as we would have liked, yes it was unfortunately a wet day and everywhere was a bit muddy we had paid extra for our dogs and the surprised “Oh are the dogs going to be in there” referring to the pod yes they were and yes we left the pod as clean as we found it.

From the manager: Thank you for booking with us!
So sorry for the comment made which was not intended to offend. You had two large dogs with thick coats, that where wet and it was very muddy after the heavy rain fall that we had experienced all week. We are a dog friendly site and there is a set charge for for all dogs to stay on site, regardless of how and where they stay or sleep. My comment was just to elaborate that that if they could dry off before going inside the pod that would of helped. You also stated that they where staying in the camper van on arrival.
Again apologies to you ladies
Kind Regards
Ingrid
