Makins Lakes

Positiv View of the lakes.

Negativ No one to meet us. Didn’t see a member of staff in 4 days. Arrived 31/12 left 3/1. I suggest don’t open park new year if all amenities are closed. Shower block desperately needs a refit. Electric hook ups exposed to elements.

Positiv Nice lakes and walks nearby. Toilets were reasonable and warm in the winter. The pitches were well laid out and generally flat.

Negativ The site was generally run down with little sign of good site management, which is a shame because correctly managed it could be a lovely site. Large potholes even though they had piles of hardcore material that could be used to fill them. The electrical hookups were mostly not working and in very poor or dangerous condition. The site should be shutdown whilst repairs are made. Live wires are literally exposed, whilst children run around playing and uneducated adults attempt to hookup their power leads to find a pitch that actually has power. I witnessed this on a daily basis, people setting up and then having to move to another pitch to find power. When we enquired about the problems we were told that the management team were on holiday and the site was closed, but they were taking bookings and people turning up daily to encounter the same issues. Regardless of any excuses, the exposed wiring could lead to a fatality.

Positiv Show/toilets fantastic. Best shower I've been in on a campsite how can any one moan about them? Laura was fantastic messaging us before we arrived and responding when we asked if we could overstay in the morning by a hour and half. Absolutely no problem. Don't read and believe all reviews, will come again when we are in the area!

Negativ Nothing, yes your close to the m69 but that's for your convenience!

Positiv Not a lot really yes there was access to toilet and warm water

Negativ Sadly the road into the site is absolutely awful and so many potholes, the women’s toilets wasn’t working and they switched it to the disabled toilets and they was in such bad condition and was dirty and cold the men’s toilets was also dirty, it’s a shame because they was no commutation from the site, if we’re paying for these things we should be communicated with as a base level but no one told us and it was in filthy condition wouldn’t not be visiting again

Positiv Nothing

Negativ Orribile experience. We arrived there 1 hour ish before the deadline for arrival. Noone was at the reception. We have tried to call the number.. I tried 5 tomes for 2 hours but noone answered. I have texted them on WhatsApp and noone opened my messages. Is being 2 days and i still did not receive any response. We parked in a random spot to try to look for someone and explore the area to discover the lady toilet was closed, only the toilet for disable was open and was in a disgusting condition with the sink blocked and no warm water. We were with a child and we ended up sleeping with 2 °C, no shower and no electricity.

Positiv Clean facilities. Good communication. Easy to access. Very beautiful scenery. Will be back in the summer when it’s a tad warmer!

Negativ Someone did end up parking in our pitch but that can’t be help. Was enough pitches to go around anyways.
