Kids had a blast on the water. The whole site felt safe. Dog walking
Anonymous Bell tent (basic)
Liked Access to the lake (like a big pond really), but lovely. Nice campsite.
Disliked Needs a better shop, better showers (just please change the shower heads so the water shoots downwards and not all over the walls and doors), impossible, the ants…. We hired a pre set up bell tent, a zip didn’t work, ants EVERYWHERE inside, no evening option for food (maybe find someone to do pizza), no electric hook up

Lovely campsite with beautiful lake
Anonymous Non-electric grass pitch
Liked We absolutely loved this place, not too many people crammed in either. Very friendly staff. The lake is so much fun, we spent the whole day paddle boarding and swimming. You have to get there early as the areas around the lake get filled up quite quickly. The lake is very safe to swim and paddle In. It was quite windy in the campsite but when on lake you don’t notice it at all as very sheltered. Clean toilets and showers, Lots of space around us which we liked too. We were camped near a field with football nets which was great for my boys. They made lots of nice friends whilst playing in and out of the lake. Lovely setting, lovely views
Disliked The cafe was quite expensive and service quite slow. The shop was more of a gift shop, very small and not at all equipped for camping.
We had to be quiet after 10pm which is a little difficult with teenage boys as lots of families with little ones there.

Liked We absolutely loved this site, the lake was beautiful! They had a small coffee shop next to it, which was a little expensive but delicious! The shower and toilet cubicles were very clean too.
Beautiful setting, and we did the beach walk from the site, which was also lovely, the sign directions weren’t very well positioned but with the help from iPhone maps we made it.
I would definitely return.
