What customers say
This well-maintained campsite is praised for its clean facilities, spacious pitches, and tranquil atmosphere, particularly by anglers who enjoy the fishing lakes. Staff are frequently described as friendly and helpful, with particular commendations for Kate. While most visitors highlight the positive aspects, a few noted that showers require £1 coins, some areas lack recycling bins, and Wi-Fi can be unreliable. One review mentioned an issue with pitch proximity during busy periods, and another reported unclean facilities, though this is not a common complaint.

We would not return.
Electric optional grass pitch
Liked The grounds were lovely, and the lakes stunning. Our pitch was really nice as we set up under a lovely big willow tree.
Disliked The facilities are really poor and they were grubby and unclean - to the point you didn't want to go over and use them. They desperately need to be upgraded but even a deep clean would improve them. The smell was so bad in the toilets (urine) that you smelt of it on your clothes when you returned to your pitch. The whole experience of the toilets and showers was just grim.
There was also a very discrimitive sign up in the toilets on the notice board saying - our pitch prices are for 1 family only (Mother, Father and their children". It's 2026, there are many different types of families these days.
It's such a shame as this could be a really lovely site but the facilities let it down massively.

Wouldn't go family, nor to sleep...
Electric optional grass pitch
Liked Ground was very flat, toilets were clean.
Disliked Big party in a field somewhere close, kept going till 6am... Also generally there is one field for tents (away in the corner), and it's quite noisy generally till way past 11pm, quite a bit of swearing too... and lots of ants... lady said I should write a review so the right sort of people visit...
Advertises showers, tho needed a £1 coin to operate, was given £1 at check-in giving me 5mins.

From the manager: Thank you for your review. Unfortunately there was a music festival in the area the days you were staying with us which we were not aware of and was out of our control. We are surrounded by fields and noise does travel. In your message the following day regarding the noise you said that the whole purpose of your camping trip was to sleep. The majority of other campers on your field came to have fun and mix with others. Noise levels on the site are monitored but if you don't tell us at the time you are not giving us the chance to put it right. I would like to say that we had no other complaints of noise that weekend and we were practically full. I advised that you put a review on as we have nothing to hide and feel that any review negative or positive is good for people to see
Excellent site
Electric optional grass pitch
Liked Friendly owner.
Clean showers £1 coin operated. But had no issues with this.
The food trucks were amazing.
Disliked I don’t think there was anything. I was not sure about paying for showers and electric. But I only used £2 worth of electric in a weekend. And they give you back anything you don’t use on card.

Lovely little break. Good value for money. Will definitely return.
Electric optional grass pitch
Liked Lovely location in a village just outside of Downham Market. 10 minute cycle ride to the main town which is a delightful old market town.
Pitches well maintained with lots of space in-between them.
Had food vans and a mobile bar come to the site which were great.
The Windmill opposite has a lovely little bar - we enjoyed visiting there, and another lovely riverside pub serving food just 5 minute cycle down the road.
Staff were super friendly and very helpful.
Facilities were clean and well maintained.
The site was generally quiet and relaxed.
Disliked Had to pay for the use of the showers - this wasn't communicated in advance, so we had no £1 coins.

Electric optional grass pitch
Liked First time visiting this place and very impressed with the whole experience.
The kind welcoming staff, the pitch location, the whole fishing experience, the shower/toilet blocks (clean and good showers), even the other campers were 10/10.
The food/drink event they held on the Saturday evening was really good & food was amazing.
The quietness in the evening was great and so tranquil especially when we were stargazing on the Friday evening.
We were very happy with our stay and due to the great experience and the good amount of fish my family caught……..we will definitely be back.
Phone signal was non existent but that meant my children actually spoke to each other 😂
Disliked Nothing to dislike!
A great campsite!
