What customers say
Staff are consistently praised as friendly & helpful, with clean amenities & spacious pitches. On-site shop & playground are big hits. Some mention noise from the go-kart track & insufficient washrooms at busy times. Great base for exploring.

From the manager: So was it the site that you didn't like or the 'scum bag family'? Shame you didn't address any of your issues with our wardens as we are not actually sure what the problem was. Think this review says more about you than us. Thanks anyway and hope you find somewhere better suited to your needs next time.

Liked Great location near to go kart track, water sports and fishing. Amenities mostly clean.
The site was quiet and peaceful however there was a group of campers who were quite loud but they were celebrating so fair enough.
Disliked Need more toilets for amount of people visiting as only 2 showers and toilets available. This said we did not queue.

Powered grass campsite
Liked Absolutely lovely site! Very clean, staff very friendly couldn't do more to help and they very happy to help! Any issues were resolved very promptly and we were were kept updated. Park and play area are brilliant and we had a lovely stay!! The option to hire a fire pit is also a brilliant idea and very reasonably priced we very much enjoyed making smores around the campfire! The shop located on site was also well stocked with essentials. Very happy campers all round!
Disliked Limited toilets but this wouldn't stop us returning!!
