Superb campsite ❤️
Non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked We absolutely love it here. Been camping quite a few times and its always great. The site is well kept. Always a warm welcome from the staff in reception and the cafe too. Banging breakfast in the refurbished cafe, sets you up for the day. The new shop is a lovely addition to the site, lots of essentials. The facilities are always clean and hot water for washing up. One suggestion would be to please install a water tap by the reception office as its a fair way down to the electric field to find a tap if its cold and wet or dark. Its a really nice walk around the site though, round the lakes, we dont fish but the fisher folk always seem friendly. The motorway road noise has never bothered us, we dont seem to notice it. We highly recommend camping here, we will certainly be back - love it!!! Thanks so much ❤️ ⛺️

Non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked This is a site for fishermen but accepts other campers. If you are happy to be on a site which prioritises fishing, it’s great.
You will find a very peaceful site with excellent amenities at a good price.
Disliked Nothing to dislike if you understand what the site is all about

Electric hardstanding touring pitch
Liked Lovely Park. Fishing 🎣 lake is a pleasant bonus area, you can sit & watch the anglers, which seems a very popular site.
Electric hookup
Showers
Disliked Not a dislike but a observation. The showers need an update ie shower 🚿 heads. Need a shelf or tray where you can place shampoo, soap etc rather than having to place on the shower tray.
Outside wash up area & counters are ok, but really need to clean all the dead insects around the ceiling & walls ☹️
