What customers say

This campsite offers spacious, level pitches and is highly regarded for its clean, modern toilet and shower facilities, often featuring underfloor heating. Set by beautiful fishing lakes, it's popular with anglers and offers lovely walks. Staff are consistently described as friendly and helpful. While some guests mention noise from the nearby M69, many find it unobtrusive. Occasional issues with toilet cleanliness and bin management are noted, but overall feedback is positive.

 Carl P. 1 review

Electric grass pitch

Liked Lake 4

Disliked We wanted to fish on Reptile due to matches on other lakes but were told that both Phase two and three were closed, not advertised on website.
We then opted to fish on Lake 4 but were told there was a match on so we opted to go on Lake 5 where again there was a match scheduled but there were pegs available. The match on Lake 5 never took place as we fished there all day, on return to our tent later that day we saw that there was also no match on Lake 4 with pleasure anglers everywhere.

In addition, cafe only open from early up to 10am despite being advertised open till 2pm.

Liked Easy access, great communication and good size pitches

Disliked The ladies facilities were dirty, 3 out of the 5 toilets were blocked from other campers and not cleaned for close to 24 hours. The floors were not cleaned at that time, only toilets flushed out.

 jacqui A. 1 review

Electric grass pitch

Liked They take groups.
There was water at every pitch.
The pitches we had were very spacious.
The fishing lakes look beautiful.

Disliked Toilet, shower and washing up facilities are grim! Need a good deep clean from ceiling to floor and everything in between....and this is deep dirt that has built up over time, plus cobwebs, spiders etc.
Please replace the mops, they are absolutely filthy!
Loo roll needs replacing more often, we were there 4 days and it ran out twice!
Not enough facilities for the amount of people on site.
No hot water at cleaning up area, and no plugs in the sinks!!!!
Clearly no care or pride for the camping area. It needs care and attention. This is a budget, backpacker type site but the money charged doesn't reflect that.

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).
