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

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 ☹️

Electric grass pitch

Liked We really liked the lakes & general look of the place. Staff all friendly & toilet blocks & wash area kept clean. On the Friday night, a member of staff was driving round to tell everyone about a little get together down at the cafe/bar with a stone-baked pizza stall there too. We popped down & really enjoyed it… the pizza was amazing! Used the cafe for lunch on the Saturday & the food was very reasonably priced! Checking in process really simple & if you have forgotten anything, there is a large selection of products available in the reception shop (e.g. food, drinks, medicine, toothpaste, cleaning products etc). A great place to go for our first ever time camping with the children & really good value for money. I’m not sure if they had WiFi in cafe but we naturally didn’t have any on the camping field so can’t rate that.

Disliked There wasn't much for young children to do. There are some football posts & a large field near the campsite to play on & I do appreciate this campsite is primarily for fishing weekends, but I think it would be improved that tiny bit more by having some swings/climbing frames etc. Is located next to a road so if you camp along the bushes you can hear cars going past throughout the night & can hear a dual carriageway that is nearby in the distance, so if you’re a light sleeper this may affect you. (It didn’t bother us or our small kids one bit but just worth a mention).

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).
