Electric hardstanding touring pitch

Liked: Hard standing, lake view

Disliked: Toilet block smelt (looked like one was broke though), grumpy fisherman, power off in the morning and not being sorted before we left

Electric grass pitch

Liked: First ever trip out in our caravan, facilities were good here, clean toilet and shower block. Washing up area was great, we couldn't get our water supply working so was really glad that was available! Had a tap on our pitch aswell which also helped massively. We will definitely come back again. Our camping neighbours were all lovely too

Disliked: The fact you cant walk around the lakes with your dog

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked: Quick check in. Modern, clean toilet/shower block. Beautiful views across the lakes.

Disliked: A lot of noise from the M69 which is right next to the site. Work currently going on so there's escavators etc parked up next to the camping fields. Looked to go into the on site cafe but all tables were full.

A lovely quiet site, excellent facilities, nice level pitches.

Electric grass pitch

Liked: Was a seamless trip. Online checking was easy and efficient. Pitches were good. Ours was nice and close to the lakes and not too near the toilet block so happy with that! Toilet block was excellent. So warm in the night which was great!! Perfect first night in our new van. Will definitely come again.

Disliked: Nothing!

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked: Beautiful place. Arrived late and it wasn't a bother. Facilities were good. Cafe on site and all staff very friendly.

Disliked: The track to the camping field had a few bits of sharp cans and plastic. The showers didn't have a detachable hose so a bit tricky for us girls if not washing our hair.

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked: A gorgeous location which was very tidy and well kept. Everybody was respectful, the staff very kind and social and even if you are not there for fishing, it is still a beautiful place to be. Fantastic value for money for the location and the views you get.

Disliked: This location is close to a busy road. It didn't really bother us much and not exactly much Makin can do about it, just worth mentioning. Secondly just a suggestion. The signposting for non electric camping could do with being moved. Extra accommodation is being built to expand, which is fine, this has however obscured the sign for the camping field and we carried on the wrong way initially.

Local attractions

If you’re in the mood for a quiet picnic or woodland stroll, Coombe Abbey Country Park (15 minutes’ drive) is a 500-acre parkland made for whiling away a day outdoors. There’s also a play area, zip lining and climbing forest if the family’s up for an active day. Or you could always try out the angling here too if your break really is all about fishing. Entertaining the kids shouldn’t be too tricky around these parts either. Immerse yourself fully in the medieval world of dungeons, knights and princesses, jousting and falconry with a visit to Warwick Castle (35 minutes). Or scream if you wanna go faster at Drayton Manor Theme Park, home to rollercoasters, Thomas Land and a 15-acre zoo. Animal antics of all kinds are also order of the day at Twycross Zoo (30 minutes).
