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.

Non-electric grass pitch
Liked The fresh water stream with stunning dragon flies. The kids & 2 adults enjoyed the lake, whilst the other adults enjoyed the peace & sun. The kids play area & ball games field.
Disliked This campsite is definitely a money orientated run place. It was absolutely rammed, with no room between other campers. Not enough showers/toilets for the amount of campers on site.

Brilliant campsite. Highly recommend
Anonymous Non-electric grass pitch
Liked The lake is wonderful - perfect for families for paddle boards and swimming. The site is spotlessly clean and well staffed with lovely helpful people. The new sauna is brilliant and well worth the £16 for an hour’s treat. The dog walking areas are perfect.
Disliked A couple more toilets and showers near the lake would be good. Please the toilets have proper lighting? The little lights aren’t strong enough or didn’t work. Also sinks for brushing teeth that aren’t in the washing up area would be good!
There is one ladder into the lake for sauna users only. Better access - steps with hand rails or ladders at other jetties would be so helpful for those
With more limited mobility. The jetty/slipway is crazy slippery and the other access points are exceedingly muddy or jetties you need to pull yourself up out of.

Lovely site
Anonymous Non-electric grass pitch
Liked Lovely flat pitches
The lake is awesome
Very relaxed site
Disliked The shower heads could do with an upgrade - the water sprays out at all angles. It also goes from boiling hot to lukewarm during the shower.
Would love if the cafe opened earlier and they did pizzas in the evening on Fridays and Saturdays!

Perfect lakeside camping for families
Non-electric grass pitch
Liked Lovely vibe on the campsite! The lake was perfect to practice paddleboarding in a safe environment and great for kids to have fun in too.
Disliked Maybe a bit more of a shop on site? Staff in the cafe were great though and able to dig out some sun cream when we lost ours somehow...
