What customers say
Great campsite! Loved the stunning location & spotless facilities, including the shop & fish & chips. Friendly staff, spacious spots, and clean washrooms. Perfect for families with a top playground. Mostly peaceful, though some noted occasional noise during busy times.

Liked Easy access thru security gate
Disliked Only one toilet and one shower cubicle which for the amount of pitches not good unless you walked to other end of site people always walking thru your pitch which should of been fenced off and generally not the best

From the manager: Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're pleased to hear you found the access through our security gate convenient.
We're sorry to learn of your concerns regarding the facilities and site layout. Just to clarify, we do have three shower and toilet blocks located across the site, available for all guests. We're always happy to point these out or assist with directions, and we really wish you'd brought this to our attention during your stay so we could have helped make things more comfortable for you.
Regarding the foot traffic through your pitch, we completely understand how that could be disruptive. Had we known at the time, we would have been more than happy to speak with those passing through and redirect them to a more appropriate route, as this isn't typical for those pitches. We're always here to help resolve issues as they arise.
We hope you'll consider staying with us again, as our site has a lot to offer.
Perfect stay, will 100% be returning

Excellent site all round!
Primitive grass tent campsite
Liked Location was perfect for north lakes and we opted to camp in a non-electric pitch in the farthest field with the most AMAZING view of the valley - a perfect spot for a morning cuppa! This area was much quieter than the main area nearer reception where a lot of families were camping or in the little huts with small children. We liked the quiet of the area we chose. Washing facilities were clean and the shower was always a good temp (absolute bonus!)
Staff at reception were friendly and the little shop was handy. Also a fish and chip shop on site which came in useful one evening. Play park for kids was great and even my teenagers enjoyed it.
If you have young kid then the place is ideal as there's plenty of other little kids around too but if you have older kids or want a bit of peace head to the non electric camping areas. Everything was quiet by 11pm anyway so all good. Will defo be back!
