What customers say
Great spot near Albert town & WWI sites. Friendly staff, roomy pitches, lovely scenery with a lake. Facilities are mostly clean but a bit old-fashioned. Some grumbles about dish sinks & no loo roll. Power/water usually on site.

Disliked On our very last night, a group of about 8 Adults were playing bowls on the bowls pitch well after 10pm with loud music, this went on well after 11pm and I do believe the Police came onto site. Very unacceptable behaviour, drunken loud adults after 10pm.
