Liked: Great site, welcoming upon arrival, got us straight to our pod, pod was very clean! The set up was great and minimal. The views around the site was superb. Love the idea of the under cover bar and pizza place , so cool , definitely will be back in the near future. Suitable for all.

Madoc Lake non-electric hardstanding and grass touring pitch
Liked: Hard standing areas were really high quality and large, swimming pond was lovely with nice platform to get in and out, bar area, live music, cafe for breakfast, real family feeling and so friendly. Portaloos were cleanest and best looked after that I’ve ever used! And clearly the new toilet block will be up and running soon. Bag of logs £6 were high quality too and lasted ages!
Disliked: Nothing!
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Thank you for your lovely comments, we are glad you enjoyed your stay :-)
Would definitely re-book if pathways have more lighting.

Madoc Lake non-electric hardstanding and grass touring pitch
Liked: Site was clean, kept tidy. Friendly staff, nice ‘pub’ onsite serving home-made pizza, burgers etc, there was live music during the evening. There is also a small cafe serving breakfast, tea/coffee etc Pricing of food and drinks average. Portaloo type facilities dotted around the site. Enjoyed our stay, would visit again.
Disliked: Very little to no lighting in places. More lighting for pathways is needed, not easy to find your pitch in the dark!!
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Thank you for your comments, glad you enjoyed our site. We are in the middle of installing a new shower block by the lake and lighting is on our list to do.

Madoc Lake fully-serviced hardstanding and grass touring pitch (waterside)
Liked: The pitch was in the perfect spot next to the lake, which was just gorgeous. The bar with the live music was brilliant and all the staff were friendly. We had pizza and chips at the bar and it was really fresh. Robinson the camp dog is adorable 😍.
Disliked: It was just a shame the shower block next to us wasn't finished

Fishing Canal electric hardstanding and grass touring pitch
Liked: Lovely peaceful site . We stayed the weekend before Easter so were the only van on the site. So, limited service at the cafe but we had a lovely breakfast and managed to pick up some icecream just as they were closing. Very friendly and helpful staff. Good, clean facilities. Would definitely stay again if we were travelling in this area
Disliked: Only, very minor thing is it would be useful to know when the heating would be on in the shower room
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: It was lovely to meet you both hopefully see you again sometime :-)
