What customers say
This holiday park offers a vast array of activities for families, with many praising the clean facilities, especially the new toilet and shower blocks. Staff are consistently described as friendly and helpful. Popular amenities include the swimming pool, arcades, and on-site food options. However, some visitors noted issues with pitch conditions, particularly muddiness after rain, and occasional noise disturbances. Several reviews indicate the site is undergoing renovation, suggesting future improvements.

Great location, great amenities and very friendly staff!
Electric grass pitch
Liked We had a great time and wish we’d booked for longer! There was so much to do for the kids and adults alike. The resort was well laid out and we had everything we needed close to hand (camping).
Entertainment was great and my daughter absolutely loved it!
A special mention to the guy maintaining the arcades (wish I got his name) as he was amazing. Had to ask for his help twice and both times he was so friendly. It’s things like this that make a good resort great… the staff! Couldn’t fault it and will definitely be booking again but for longer!

Was absolutely lovely, would definitely recommend
Electric grass pitch
Liked The entertainment was brilliant, the staff were very helpful, food was lovely!
Disliked There wasn’t much to dislike, would have been nicer if there were perhaps more baby friendly facilities instead of a stand alone changer. Or maybe some extra space or hooks in the showers

Easy book in process, grass pitches were decent, clean toilets.
Electric grass pitch
Liked The campsite was good, we would return. We camped on an electric hook up and the pitches were flat.
Toilets were cleaned regularly.
Great swimming is included in price and other bits going on for the kids.
Disliked Showers became blocked and lots of water from multiple showers built up at feet.
Could do with another washroom for washing dishes. Only 2 sinks and often had to queue.
Kids club definitely needs air con!

Electric grass pitch
Liked The facilities were nice and clean and close by. There was plenty to do there for the kids.
Disliked You weren’t allocated a pitch so it was slim pickings when we got there, we paid for an electric pitch and there were only 2 electric ones left to choose from and they were on rocks so we were standing on stones through the tent. I don’t think there was anyone actually checking who had paid for electric and who hadn’t as no one checked us

Peace and quiet? Find somewhere else!
Electric grass pitch
Liked Modern well kept showers, toilets and washing up facilities.
Plenty for the kids to do.
Food was great in both the restaurants and the takeaways.
Staff were well trained (SIA Licensed)
Disliked I found myself and the family squeezed in like sardines. This is a great site for groups that will stay up into the early hours of the morning causing havoc. Car horns beeping at night, arrests the next night, women throwing up their drinks in the mens toilets, kareokee tent next to us going till 1am, no site security or warden after hours, no peace and quiet the whole week.
Pitches themselves weren't much better, covered in rubbish when we arrived and the ground was awful. Make sure you take a long elec cable (25M+) as some pitches were a fair distance from a hook up
Great site if you like this kind of thing but if you want the peace and quite then this isn't the place.

Disliked The fish and chip shop is awful and it was the same the year before. Quality of food terrible and staff not confident to fix order when it is wrong.

Don't expect any motorhome service points.
Electric grass pitch
Liked New toilet block.
Disliked Filthy site with lots of rubbish strewn around. No where to drop grey water and a single drinking water tap to try to fill up the on board fresh water tank. Those two was not in an accessible place and had to be abandoned.

Mixed review alot of good points but some major bad ones!
Electric grass pitch
Liked Gluten free menu options
Sign posted clearly
Clean well maintained toiletsArcade staff friendly and polite fantastic with autistic son picking prizes
Disliked Limited swim session and having to book a day in advance, this should be more clearly advertised.
Male life guard would only talk to female swimmers, noted for a good 45 minutes this was very off putting for family . When I did attempt to speak with him he passed me on to another life guard so he could continue a casual conversation with a group of females.
Arcade is very understaffed and constant issues with machines on multiple visits
