What customers say
Tranquil lakeside spot, loved for its "stunning location" and "chilled vibe." Spotless eco-toilets, hot showers, and washing-up areas. Friendly owners, great fishing, and dark skies. Minor road noise and ongoing development noted, but guests rave about this "gem" and plan to return.

Liked Hidden little gem!
Lush well kept and quiet site with a welcoming vibe.
Pleasure to be able to park and sleep next to the lake , and on a site that you won’t get moaned at for having a wee campfire off the ground , As what’s camp without a campfire .
Can also fish if needed .
Reasonable prices

Really lovely overall.
Unpowered forest floor tent site
Liked Stunning location. Quiet but well attended. Fab fishing opportunity for hubby and teen boys. Loved the fact we could use our hammocks and own fire. Toilets and showers and washing up area really, really clean, bright despite heavy use. We will definitely be returning. We are local so was nice just to head away for a few days. Will fish year round now we know this little gem is here.
Staff approachable and accessible.
