Belvoir Waters

Liked Location
Lakeside views
Space - very large pitches, and good distance between pitches

Disliked Lack of toilet facilities- stated toilets on site but not over by lakeside pitches.

travelling back down the road to get to lakeside pitches, wasn't aware of that.

Noisy people across the lake up until 4.30am playing music and shouting, policies need to be enforced if stated on pitchup.com
I am all up for people having a good time but it was ridiculous it going on until that time.

Liked We loved the open view of the lake. The birds, the walks, the Staunton Arms, Roger's welcome!

Disliked We hadn't realised there was no fresh water pipe and would have brought more water with us had we known.

Liked We were welcomed by Roger at an agreed time and showed into the site. He was very polite, friendly with my young son and we enjoyed some chit chat before being shown the way to our area.
The site is absolutely beautiful. Despite there being some small signs of activity (areas where campfires have previously been) the site was well maintained and there was no litter to be seen anywhere, or mess left behind by previous campers or anglers.
We found a quieter spot to by the lake and were able to watch a variety of insects, fish, birds and small mammals in the area, including stoats and muntjacs, which was great for my young son who is a huge animal and nature lover.
We paddled in the lake which has some shallower beach areas which was appreciated on the hot day. We were able to do this clear of anglers who we did not want to disturb.
There was a portaloo site which was cleaner than many I’ve used in the past.
There were very few sounds from outside of the campsite to ruin the immersion, though there is a road close to the camp we did not hear cars passing throughout the night or sounds from the nearby village despite it being a sunny Saturday evening. It did feel like we’d managed to escape to the wild for a while.
We had a look around and there are some really beautiful pitches that some had been lucky enough to grab before we’d arrived. I’d love to return and try and camp on some of these, especially some which almost seemed to have their own private beaches!
All in all the site is a real hidden gem and we’d be happy to return and enjoy it at different times of the year.

Disliked The road into the woodlands isn’t very friendly for small vehicles, car got beaten up a bit driving along the track into the woods.
We were welcome to decide on our own pitch, but at 11am the only spots left were in pretty close proximity of the track (being used all day by cars), a footpath alongside the River Devon which was being used by walkers, or other campers who had already pitched up. The woodland area seemed pretty crowded and would choose a lakeside pitch next time which seemed much quieter and more spaced out. I understood this was the last weekend of the summer holidays so gave the benefit of the doubt for it being busy.
We pitched next to one group who were particularly inconsiderate, with a dog barking throughout the day and running at people/cars, playing music into the late evening, bright lights illuminating the woods all night, chopping wood throughout the night (and also first thing in the morning - waking us up) and driving along the woodland track after 10pm, which was against the site policies. This is not the fault of the site, however my only criticism here is that there was no one ensuring policies were adhered to. We were going to hang around for a campfire breakfast but were fed up by 8am so just packed up quickly and headed out.
