What customers say
This campsite offers spacious pitches with beautiful lake views, making it ideal for fishing enthusiasts and those seeking a peaceful break. Visitors praise the clean and modern toilet and shower facilities, often noting the heated floors and powerful showers. Friendly and helpful staff contribute to a positive experience. While some mention occasional road noise from the nearby M69, it's generally considered unobtrusive.

Anonymous Non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked Lovely big site
Everyone super friendly, kids made lots of friends
The fishing lakes are lovely to walk around - really nice setting
Pizza van Friday eve was brilliant
Love the fact they have now added the little shop in the reception area
Kids loved the goats and chickens
Disliked Could maybe do with some facilities on the non-electric camping field - bit of a walk to the toilets or washing up area, especially when carrying a big bowl of washing up
Shame the shop shuts at 5 and also the cafe closed at 2, would be nice to have the option for an early tea for the kids - but not the end of the world

Non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked The area is really nice and for a camping trip is good as there are lakes you can walk around and even fish on if you so choose.
The camping area is big so plenty of space and there is a nice set up area for touring vans too. There is a shower block and area at the side to wash utensils.
All in all a great place to camp out.

Not bad for a night
Electric hardstanding touring pitch
Liked Lovely walk around the lakes. Good pitches week served by ehu and water. Great price for the night. Washroom great during the day.
Disliked It noisy as close to motorway. Felt I was in a car park not much view other than the vans around me. Washroom got worse as the day went on. Toilet rolls stuffed down the toilets making only one usable during the evening. Probably caused by kids but not rectified by the site.
