What customers say
This campsite offers spacious pitches and beautiful lake views. Facilities are generally praised for being clean, warm, and modern, particularly the showers. Staff are frequently described as friendly and helpful. While the site is primarily for fishing, it's also enjoyed for its peaceful atmosphere and walks. Some visitors note noise from the nearby motorway and occasional issues with facility cleanliness, particularly in the toilets, which management states is being addressed. Road conditions on-site can be poor with potholes.

Electric hardstanding touring pitch
Liked Lovely spacious pitches and showers. Well presented entrance and shop, sadly didn’t get a chance to try the cafe but looked good from the walk past.
Disliked Bathrooms were a bit messy, no toilet brushes for the previous occupant to clean marks left in the bowl. Also the bathrooms were left a bit smelly. Dog friendly but cannot walk around the lakes and no dog friendly areas marked out.

Electric grass pitch
Liked Peaceful quiet site with plenty of space. Toilet and shower block heated. No traffic noise
Disliked Postcode provided when on SatNav only directs to M69. Have to input village and street name. Problems with the electric hook up as the designated box wasn’t working, trip switch very flaccid and as I arrived after 4pm unable to get help. Mobile number provided for Out of Hours came back as incorrect. Had to use another hook up point and even had to check that later that night

Easy book and access
Electric hardstanding touring pitch
Liked Easy site to book, stayed last weekend and agin this weekend. Close shops, great fishing. Loads of room for dog on 20m lead outside van. Toilets/showers clean, washing up area nice and clean and well lit. You are given a gate code so no probs after the 4pm deadline
Disliked They could do with sorting some pot holes out, it’s not really a dislike but to be mentioned.

Overall a lovely site. No light pollution so dont forget your torch.
Electric hardstanding touring pitch
Liked Great size pitch, toilets realky clean and warm in the block, there were only 2 showers (female) one was broken however the one that worked was lovely rain fall shower head. Great views of the lakes. Nice outdoor washing up area under cover.
Disliked Needs a bench/seating area in the shower room. Grass was very boggy take your wellies. Some of the electric points are broken it was very hit and miss. Could really do with an electric point upgrade and more of them.

I suspect in Summer this wouldn’t be a bad spot.
Electric hardstanding touring pitch
Liked The pitches were indeed spacious. I can’t say anything much about walks etc as suggested by the app because the site was pretty boggy due to the volume of rain. I stayed here during my first week at a new job & as the NEC show was on, there wasn’t much else available with power & hard standing & showers in the area.
Disliked Potholes - Wow they were a lot on the site roads. Admittedly there’s potholes everywhere at the moment but the site had a lot of them in a small area making the drive very bumpy.

It’s was fine, I would go back definitely
Electric hardstanding touring pitch
Liked Close to water if I wanted to fish, toilet/showers close to most hard standing pitches. They previous people that have left bad reviews saying electric posts are damaged I didn’t see any of that.
Makins sent me a welcome txt message with gate code, yep I didn’t see anyone but I didn’t need to! It was all there
Disliked Toilets are in good condition but could do with a more regular clean. There was muddy sinks but bear in mind this is a well known fishing destination, anglers probably nip up for a cheeky wash and …. You know what! It’s to be expected but o do think more often wc inspections or code locks added to the doors for camping only.
