Electric grass and gravel motorhome pitch
Liked: Facilities were clean and the staff were nice, very flexible with arrival times.
Disliked: Expensive for what it was. Pitches were not flat and very close together, more of a carpark than a campsite. Wifi does not work and no signal in the EHU spots.

Liked: Shower block is modern and clean, although the water not very warm. Lake is nice.
Disliked: Pitches are too close together, there is no privacy. I was just a few meters away from 2 families with children who were having a get together and drinks and were fairly noisy till the early hours. Luckily there was a spare pitch further away so I moved there.

Electric grass and gravel motorhome pitch
Liked: Pretty site around a 50m artificial scuba diving lake. Surrounded by trees but close to A27 so some traffic noise. Very quiet in late afternoon but comes to life in morning with swimmers and divers in the lake. Very clean/ well maintained loo and showers. Nice little cafe on site where we had breakfast. Good email information from Andark before the visit. Wi-Fi on site.
