Carney Pools Camping and Caravanning

Líbí se We stayed for 2 nights at Carney Pools on a non-electric pitch. Beautiful site, plenty of space and we were able to park by the pitch.

It was our first time camping and it was a really enjoyable experience. The staff are very friendly, helpful and take a lot of care over the site.

The shower/toilet block was very clean and had good facilities. We had a minor issue with the showers (coin went in but no power) but this was due to some else on site using a trolley token instead of a £ coin, so not the site's fault. The issue was rectified within an hour and I had a full refund for the coins I'd used. Disappointing someone would try to scam the site for 5 minutes of water, especially when the facilities are so nice.
Dishwashing area was really helpful, especially with the motion detector lights for washing up after evening meals.

We had our own fire pit and bought extra wood from the shop (£7.99 for a bag).

We didn't use the play park (much to my partner's annoyance) but the kids on site seemed to really enjoy it. There's so much space on the site that we felt like we had the field to ourselves, despite there being 3 or 4 caravans and a couple of other tents.

The glamping tent looked beautiful and is tucked away in the corner of the field with a private seating/garden area.

We took a walk round the fishing pools on the first evening. They were really pretty, peaceful spots. My partner had brought his fishing stuff with him, but there was a match on the 2 main lakes so he gave it a miss. Pegs were well maintained, airaters on the water so fish care is clearly a high priority. The site supply landing nets to prevent any risk of disease transmission.

All in all, a wonderful time.

Nelíbí se Occasionally the cargo trains were loud through the night.

Líbí se Playground, space for kids to play, shop/cafe.

Nelíbí se Outside of the toilets smelled of sewerage on our last day, no water when we first arrived, shower facilities (2 in each male/female toilet block) were £1 for 5mins, train track right next to site and freight trains ran through the night (very noisy when trying to sleep), visitors cars charged £10 to visit even if only there an hour, fishing £12 extra/day (and no one caught anything - fishing competition in main pools, so had to use the small exposed pool) and pools only open 8-5, when most people fish when it’s cooler 5-8pm. Also pools right next to train line so not relaxing!). Staff also treated people as if they were simply a nuisance and quite grumpy - one shouted at our visitors to pay as soon as they arrived, so came across as quite money-grabbing.

Líbí se Clean and tidy facilities.
Had a choice of pitches.
Husband enjoyed the fishing.

Nelíbí se Maybe an option for my husband to fish a little later than the 5pm curfew. But he was happy doing it in the day.

Líbí se Quiet enough, grass pitches flat and well cared for. Playground good for younger kids. Cafe on site is handy.

Nelíbí se Being charge a quid for a 5 minute shower. Toilets, while not awful, could have been cleaned a little more regularly.

Líbí se Layout, cleanliness, friendly staff and pleasant atmosphere. The cafe looked good although we didn't get chance to use it and the toilet/shower/waste facilities were all very good.

Nelíbí se Nothing, we had a great break, but it wasnt the easiest place to walk out with kids and the shop could do with more choice of supplies. Great for fishing though. Some people mention the trains but you hardly notice it, its actually very quiet.

Líbí se Site is really nice

Nelíbí se We thought it was expensive because our electric kept tripping. We normally pay no more than £34 per night.
