Chelsie B.

Electric hardstanding touring pitch

Liked Big site, lakes were gorgeous! Perfect for any fishing holiday.
Lots of toilets and two showers for each male and female block. Very powerful shower which was lovely!

Disliked Felt it was not the cleanest for not having many people on site, but still nice.
Motorway is close and can hear it a lot.

Electric hardstanding touring pitch

Liked The pitches were clean and firm with room for our caravan and car side by side. The electric hook up,water and grey waste disposal was at the rear of the pitch.
The toilet/shower block was heated and very clean with separate male and female units. The staff were helpful and friendly.
Although the site is near a motorway the traffic noise was not excessive.

Disliked Unfortunately the reception staff were not available on our arrival despite having a confirmed booking. After several unanswered phone calls we just set up on our own choice of pitch

Tayne N.

Electric hardstanding touring pitch

Liked Locations to nearby towns and the NEC as we went to the caravan show. Toilet/shower facilities were ok. It was lovely by the lakes.

Disliked The site felt dirty, pitches were all un even. It was as if it was a travellers squatters site. Wasn't nice at all. First day we got there, we pitched up, sat down and then workmen was banging away, chainsaws etc, no peace what so ever!

Recommend to friends Visit again

Site OK for a 1 night stop over, or if you like fishing.

Electric hardstanding touring pitch

Liked After reading a lot of negativity, reluctantly booked 3 nights as I needed to be close to the NEC. A lot of effort has been put into the lodges with little effort to the touring site. The shower block is modern, however it's badly neglected.

Disliked Want to be helpful and not just critical. Lack of cleaning to the shower blocks. Washing up sinks full of food, no one cleaned them the 3 days I was there. The 2 empty bottles were there from day one. It's no good having a sign to say leave it as you find it. If it's dirty before you go you leave it the same. The block would take a couple of hours to bottom it out. Not the cheapest site on the platform. Water both in sink and showers not hot enough. Having spent the last 6 weeks in Croatia they can teach us a thing or two. This standard wouldn't survive in Europe. It's no good saying " you will have a word " with the team. That's obviously has not worked. The site is a big plot of grass, not a camp site I wouldn't want to holiday there for a week.

I would stay again. Site lighting and better heating in toilet block.

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).
