Lovely place to chill
Electric optional hardstanding and grass pitch (large)
Liked Amazing campsite. Very peaceful and quiet. Set in beautiful surroundings with its own lakeside view. Well spaced pitches for motorhomes and caravans for privacy and lovely green spaces for tents.
This is the first time we have used this site and we will definitely be returning.
All amenities needed are available for all types of camping. Plenty of hot water for washing up and showers.
John and his assistant work hard to keep the space clean and tidy.
We loved to see the wild life, the resident ducks sleeping on the grass, the visiting swans and fish in the lake - showing a healthy lakeside ecosystem.
Disliked Not a thing.
