Madoc Lake fully-serviced hardstanding and grass touring pitch (waterside)
Liked: The site is very well maintained the pitches are a very good size and far apart. The swimming lake is excellent. The shower block is nearly complete But having fully serviced so showered in the van. The bar is one the best I have been to, with its undercover outside seating area. The food is very good the pizza being freshly made to order. They have a variety of food on offer all freshly made. Breakfast also very good value for the money But the star of the show is Tom the owner. Nothing is to much trouble and all done with a large smile.
Disliked: Porterloos

Madoc Lake fully-serviced hardstanding and grass touring pitch (waterside)
Liked: Great huge pitches, level with plenty of space around, loads to do onsite with the fishing and paddle boarding lakes and the bar area had live music and pizzas.
Disliked: Lack of bins near pitches and at the moment only porta-loos and 1 shower near to main bar area (but looks like some possibly being built)
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Thank you for your comments. We are glad you enjoyed your stay. Unfortunately, with the new recycling laws we have had to monitor the bin situation which is why they are all near the bottom of the site. Yes there is a new shower/toilet block being built, hopefully finish within the next week.
Excellent site slightly let down by the toilets

From the manager: Thank you for your review, we are glad you enjoyed your stay. The porta loo's are there as extra's not instead of the toilet/showers on site, Once the new shower block is finished these will be moved.

Madoc Lake non-electric hardstanding and grass touring pitch
Liked: Location well maintained grounds.
Disliked: Portaloo as toilet block not finished. No food as chef on holiday. Noisy campers lots of swearing and arguments between couple that could be heard from across the lake. Loose dogs.
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Thank you for your comments. Yes there is a new shower block being made, we have put Porta loos there so that guests do not have to walk to the main toilet/shower block. The cafe is closed Monday & Tuesday as stated on the website. Unfortunately we cannot control the other campers on site. We hope that they are considerate to other guests, We do ask that they keep noise levels to a minimum after a certain time, had you brought this to our attention at the time we could have done something about it. We do ask owners to keep their dogs on a lead if we see them off lead.
Very clean and friendly

Disliked: Portable toilets but a new bathroom getting built

From the manager: Thank you, we are glad you enjoyed your stay with us. Yes a new shower block is being built near to the lakeside pitches to replace the porta loo's and to save the walk to the shower block by the cafe area.
