Good campsite, but has so much potential to be an amazing one

Liked Good sized pitches, the fact u can have camp fires and barbecues is good, showers and toilets are a good size, waterpark on site is great, inflatables great fun. We also did paddleboarding which was good too
Disliked Club house meant to be open till 930, we went over just after 730 for food and drink but shutters were down and they had closed early as was quiet,so staff were elsewhere cleaning etc. If club has opening times need to stick to them as guests work there schedules around it. Had to go offsite for food and drink in the end
The insects -so many flies! Bring bug spray

Ok and worth a couple of nights for the water based activities.

Liked Big walking field near by the campsite perfect for dog walking and taking kids to a play park and skate park. The lake activities are fun and that's why we stayed there. Pitch was a very good size too.
Disliked The general site and toilets could be cleaned more regularly. Upon check-in I was told I had to mop the floors which are a cubicle comprising sink, toilet and shower all in one with no window to open for the steam to escape.
The bins were all overflowing which was poor in a busy bank holiday weekend.
The discount code for the water park wasn't shared ahead of coming so ended up missing out in money off which was disappointing.

Liked The children enjoyed the aqua park
Disliked Unfortunately, our experience at this campsite was disappointing. The site appeared to be significantly overcrowded, which led to excessive noise and disruption throughout the evening.
Large groups of unsupervised children were shouting, swearing, spitting on each other, and running behind occupied tents late into the night. At one point children were tripping over tent guide wires and falling into our tent area, which created genuine safety concerns as well as disturbance.
Although the campsite had an 11pm noise curfew, this was not properly enforced. We did not see security until around 11pm, and when they did appear they were only asking people to put out fires rather than addressing the anti-social behaviour taking place around the site.
We understand campsites can be busy, especially during warmer weather, but there still needs to be reasonable management of noise, safety, and behaviour so that other guests can enjoy their stay. Unfortunately, this experience fell far below what we expected from a family campsite and we left our stay early

Enjoyed it but very expensive way to camp.
Electric grass pitch
Liked Spacious pitch, lovely setting, friendly staff.
Disliked Don’t understand the pitch policy of having to pay extra for a gazebo. We had a small campervan and a gazebo which cost us more than a pitch with a caravan, awning and car on it. Pitch therefore ended up costing us 172.00 for 3 night for 2 adults, a child and a dog. Sadly for this reason we wouldn’t return.

Great site would definitely recommend. Will return in summer
