What customers say
This is a beautiful, clean, and well-maintained campsite with excellent, modern eco-friendly toilet and shower facilities, often praised for their cleanliness and hot water. Guests highlight the peaceful, scenic lake setting and the friendly, helpful owners who add thoughtful touches. While most found nothing to dislike, one review mentioned parking inconvenience during wet weather and another noted some minor unfinished aspects due to the site being new. Overall, it is highly recommended for its tranquil atmosphere and attention to detail.

Liked shower was nice and the toilet was eco-friendly
Disliked you can't park your car next to the tent. We set up the tent next to the office to have some shelter because it was very windy and rained so much. After we took the tent down, it wasn't very pleasant to move everything back to the car in the heavy rain :/

From the manager: Hello,
So sorry, the weather was really bad when you stayed! You could have moved your car closer, we should have thought to suggest it. We try to keep cars off the field because of limed space when we're busy but we can make an exception in heavy rain, apologies :)

Liked Everything, this site is amazing, was able to just pitch up next to the lake, the toilets are eco friendly and very tidy, showers were good and the sink areas allowed ample space to have a few groups, it's so quite (except for the cows 😂) Mel is so friendly and welcoming, all in all a perfect little site for a getaway!!!

Non-electric grass motorhome pitch
Liked Really loved my stay here, it was so peaceful. It wasn’t the typical campsite setup, the all the buildings were made of wood making the washing facilities look rustic, fun and different. The lake is nice and there is a walk around it which the dog loved. Friendly owners with an easygoing attitude.

Liked We stayed for 3 nights over the bank holiday and we were very happy with the campsite. Very pretty, very friendly and very clean! Showers, toilets and washing up area was lovely and all lit up with fairy lights. It was nice to be able to walk the dog round the fishing lake when we were at the campsite, we will be returning!
