Powered grass campsite
Liked: Location was beautiful.
Disliked: The campsite is very dated and tired. This campsite is in very much needed of some money spent on it. The whole campsite floods in the rain, we booked a grass pitch with electric and was told there wasn’t any. We ended up with a hard standing but that still flooded badly. The shower/ toilet block is filthy. showers don't work Probably, the sites up there with one of the worst I’ve stayed at. The whole site is very poor quality and unloved. It’s a Shame as the location is beautiful. Very noisy at night and at 6am when the seasonal caravan people I take it go to work.

Primitive grass campsite (large)
Liked: Lovely peaceful campsite. Staff were friendly and welcoming. There were always staff cleaning the toilet blocks so that was positive. The location was great and we walked to st Ives a few times which was a lovely place to visit. No wifi but phone signal was good.
Disliked: The showers were far too hot! They scolded the back of my legs and my male friend also had the same experience in the gents block. No where to change the temperature of the water. The facilities were great but this was a huge oversight and hopefully have been adjusted since.

Powered grass and gravel campsite
Liked: Scenery - very pretty area with lots of lakes and trees. Large clean shower/toilet blocks. Good access and central location. Decent sized hard standing pitch. Great situation next to a play barn if you were bringing children
Disliked: Just a concern - Be aware if bringing young children that the lakes/ponds are accessible- they are lovely but you’d have to be constantly watching little ones.

Powered grass and gravel campsite
Liked: Quiet and peaceful site. Lovely views. Good size pitches and well spaced out. Pitches pretty level. Lots of toilets and 4 showers. 2 of the showers are electric and 2 push button, ideal when long hair to wash, having proper electric showers. Space for children to have a run around and play outside, but check for dog poo where they play first as there is a fair amount about the site. Also lake is not fenced so watch little ones. Ours were ok as we were close by and watching but could be dangerous for really small children. Beautiful views of the (small) lake from our pitch though.
Disliked: We only booked here as a last minute site, due to our original booking being flooded so cancelled our weekend. Facilities weren't exactly clean, floors and toilets very much in need of a thorough scrub top to bottom. No hand soap in the toilets (ladies or mens). No paper towel or hand dryers in either gender. Dog poo on our pitch (which was cleaned up once I found someone to report to). Rang bell on arrival and took a while for anyone to arrive. Once someone did come, we was shown to our pitch. Unfortunately we was not shown/told where anything was so had to wander round to figure out ourselves (bins not easy to find). Toilet doors could do with some hooks for coats/wash bags etc. My photos make the facilities look clean but I can assure you they were extremely grimey. One shower in the ladies is missing its drain cover, so watch your footing if showering. You'll definitely want footwear on in the showers! Need more sanitary bins in the ladies loos. This site is clearly aimed at permanent residents and touring an after thought. No WiFi (didn't bother us as had mobile signal)
