Spacious pitches with great lake views, popular with anglers. Clean, warm showers are a highlight. Staff are friendly & helpful. Some mention road noise from the M69 & occasional toilet issues when busy.

Anonymous Primitive grass tent campsite
Liked Lovely big site
Everyone super friendly, kids made lots of friends
The fishing lakes are lovely to walk around - really nice setting
Pizza van Friday eve was brilliant
Love the fact they have now added the little shop in the reception area
Kids loved the goats and chickens
Disliked Could maybe do with some facilities on the non-electric camping field - bit of a walk to the toilets or washing up area, especially when carrying a big bowl of washing up
Shame the shop shuts at 5 and also the cafe closed at 2, would be nice to have the option for an early tea for the kids - but not the end of the world

Primitive grass tent campsite
Liked The area is really nice and for a camping trip is good as there are lakes you can walk around and even fish on if you so choose.
The camping area is big so plenty of space and there is a nice set up area for touring vans too. There is a shower block and area at the side to wash utensils.
All in all a great place to camp out.

Not bad for a night
Powered cement/asphalt travel trailer campsite
Liked Lovely walk around the lakes. Good pitches week served by ehu and water. Great price for the night. Washroom great during the day.
Disliked It noisy as close to motorway. Felt I was in a car park not much view other than the vans around me. Washroom got worse as the day went on. Toilet rolls stuffed down the toilets making only one usable during the evening. Probably caused by kids but not rectified by the site.

Overall, we really enjoyed our stay and would happily come back.
Primitive grass tent campsite
Liked Beautiful, peaceful site with plenty of space
Makins Lake is a beautiful fishing site with several lovely lakes and lots of wildlife. We really enjoyed walking around the different lakes and exploring the site — it would be a fantastic place to stay if you’re into fishing.
There was plenty of space to pitch up, and we really liked having the freedom to choose where we wanted to set up. It was very quiet when we visited, which made it feel really peaceful and relaxing.
The facilities were also clean and well maintained. Huge bonus for us was the fire-pit/bbq policy.
Disliked A couple of things to be aware of: on one day there was no toilet roll in the facilities, although this was only a minor issue during our stay. The site is also fairly close to the motorway and a main road, so you can hear some traffic noise, particularly at certain times. It didn’t ruin our stay, but it’s worth knowing if you’re looking for a completely silent, remote camping experience.
