Liked Lovely place. Beautiful lakes to walk around, if you like fishing, it'd be heaven! The cafe breakfast was delicious. Excellent communication with the people who run it, will definitely be back! 😁 👍🏻

A site focused on fishing the lakes, not for campers/families
Non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked Safe - gated drive, cafe on-site, pitch where you like.
Disliked Road noise from a major road audible throughout the day, no petting zoo or kids play area (indicated by the advertisement).

From the manager: Hi,
Thanks for your review. We are near to a main road and this is specified on the page. It's very minimal from the camp site however. We definitely don't advertise as having a play area or petting zoo!

Great stay would definitely stay again.
Non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked Lovely site with beautiful fishing lakes. Nice little shop onsite for essentials and a great fishing tackle shop beneath the reception. Staff very helpful and friendly. Dogs welcome. Nice showers onsite
Disliked Very close to M69 motorway so takes some getting used to the noise. Not a major problem for us but something to bare in mind.
The toilets are quite far from the non-electric pitches.

Non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked Nice large field, toilets were clean and well stocked with toilet paper, reception staff were kind upon check in, field was tidy, bins/washing up/water was convenient
Disliked We weren't given a map so had to figure out facilities ourselves, water points weren't signposted (they are the lit up poles by electric pitches, btw)

What customers say
This well-maintained site is praised for its spacious pitches, lovely lake views, and excellent, clean toilet and shower facilities. It is particularly popular with anglers, offering numerous fishing lakes. Guests enjoyed the peaceful atmosphere, friendly staff, and convenient on-site shop and cafe. While some mention road noise from the nearby M69 and occasional issues with facility cleanliness or maintenance, many found it to be good value and a relaxing place to stay, with plans to return.

Great fishing and camping in one
Electric hardstanding touring pitch
Liked Hardstanding level pitch. Electric and water on pitch. Great fishing and cafe. Also has a small shop. Showers ok.
Would definitely return for another fishing weekend. Great relaxed vibe, would definitely take kids to learn to fish.
Disliked A little road noise but didn’t bother us. One of the lakes is quite noisy with road traffic but we avoided this lake, the others were fine.
