What customers say
Marnham Lakes gets props for its serene countryside vibe, roomy spots, and welcoming staff (shoutout Martin!). Good fishing too, and the bus bar is a hit. Facilities are basic but clean. Some found access roads tight and noticed a nearby plant smell, but improvements are underway!

Camping pod
Liked Good sized pitches, c/w electric hook up and a drinking water point nearby. The camping pod was very clean with plenty of room for the two of us and two dogs.
The site was very quiet despite there being plenty of the pitches being occupied. A very nice place to chill.
The staff are all very friendly and the bar had quite a good range of drinks available.
The shower and toilet block are kept very clean and the shower has a very good head of pressure behind it.
Overall we had a very enjoyable stay.
