What customers say
This campsite offers spacious pitches in a beautiful location, renowned for its lovely lake which is ideal for swimming and paddleboarding. Visitors praise the friendly and helpful staff, clean facilities (especially the new shower block), and a relaxed atmosphere. A short walk leads to a welcoming local pub. While generally well-received, some feedback highlighted intermittent water pressure in showers and occasional noise from other campers.

Non-electric grass pitch
Liked Spacious pitches , loverly cafe on site overlooking a beautiful lake , for swimming paddle boarding or canoeing . Short walk to local pub which did food and had entertainment . A short drive to local beach .
Disliked New facilities were good but no hot water for washing hands and for having a shave , also showers were quite cold as the doors have a 10cm gap underneath which allowed the wind to whip under .

Non-electric grass pitch
Liked Spacious pitches, toilet block and showers very clean. Lake was great for paddle boarding. It did have a lot of weed in it which was the only downside.

A great location/ setting but very basic facilities
Non-electric grass pitch
Liked Spacious pitch with lovely views. Clean facilities when we arrived at the beginning of our long weekend (4 nights). Great location, excellent onsite cafe and lovely lakes etc.
Disliked The ‘new’ toilet block was extremely basic, considering we had no electric hookup. (No hairdryer/ sockets/mirrors). The showers were hot but not enclosed so really cold in the cubicle. The sinks to wash your hands in were like a trough, 2 out of 4 taps worked but were far too high pressure and were really difficult to use without getting completely soaked (not suitable for cleaning teeth) and just cold water. People were cleaning their teeth in the washing up sinks as there was nowhere else suitable. (We ended up using the one small sink provided in the disabled toilet/ bathroom). The facilities were not kept in a clean state (washing up sink blocked and dirty for 2 out of 4 days)

Clean quiet and peaceful
Non-electric grass pitch
Liked Stayed with a few friends and we all had an awesome time. Lovely simple set up for a very relaxed weekend. On the Friday night there was a group of people making a lot of noise into the night and they were dealt with and the following night we didn’t hear a peep. The site rules are there for a reason and it was nice to be on a site that didn’t let people ignore them. In all fantastic stay would definitely recommend if you want a quiet retreat
