Really friendly staff and a lovely cafe for refreshments
An excellent campsite with a beautiful lake. One of the best around
Non-electric grass pitch
Liked The Lake is clearly the best part of the campsite, it is beautiful and such a wonderful offering. We spent time paddleboarding and swimming - it was gorgeous on such a hot day. But there are so many other things that are just as brilliant - the campsite isn't too big, so it never feels overcrowded. The playing field was a hit with our children and the new toilet block is very welcome.
Disliked Some showers lost water pressure, and the water wasn't that hot. I appreciate that this may be because it is solar-powered.

Liked I always enjoy my stay here and have come back many times. This year, the toilet block has been upgraded which is great and the edge around the lake gives easier access to the water which is brilliant. I will be back soon

Very dog friendly.
Non-electric grass pitch
Liked Fantastic site with lake for swimming and cooling off the dog. Brand new toilet and shower block that was kept beautifully clean. Helpful and friendly warden. Great views and location. Lovely countryside walks, with the off lead dog walking field a real bonus. Firepits to hire are much better than watching the TV.
Disliked Having to leave.
Level pitches, high standard of cleanliness. Scenic.
