What customers say
Great for families with lots to do for kids and a friendly vibe. Clean facilities, helpful staff, and good food at the bar/restaurant. Some facilities could use updating and activities can be pricey, but most love it and would return.

Liked the space and the outlay.…
Powered gravel travel trailer campsite
Liked Liked the space and the outlay. My grandsons enjoyed first time camping with us.
Disliked The pitch g3 had a old play area behind us . If it's not in use take it down having children playing in it was annoying and noisy for us. The showers was awful no power needs up grading . Tiles mouldy. Playground run down . Mini golf expensive and why are dogs aloud in there was dog mess . Ball pit was over priced ! Just wasn't enough to do for our grandchildren. The lake platform broken in places and dangerous. Also the decking around the play center dangerous.

Not value for money in current market.
Powered grass campsite
Liked Good restaurants, not expensive. Personnel are very friendly, professional and willing to assist.
Disliked Optional extras should be reassessed for payment, adventure golf and soft play should be free.
Most of the optional extras were not open this should be made clear in the advertising before booking.
Male staff cleaning ladies toilets /showers without calling out before entering to ensure users are in a decent state of dress.
Lake fishing details should be redressed as it is not up to date. Lake might have held large carp but it is not likely that it still does. Lake is not well maintained, dead ducks, old fishing line, empty cans, bottles and rubbish in swims and lake.
Pitched needs attention, not flat and sparse grass. P
