What customers say
This well-kept, friendly campsite boasts spacious sites & great amenities, especially clean washrooms. The on-site cafe is a hit! Beautiful setting with fishing lakes & wildlife makes for a peaceful escape. Staff are helpful & welcoming. Minor road/Wi-Fi issues are overshadowed by an overwhelmingly positive experience & return visits.

Powered grass travel trailer campsite
Liked Very pleasent relaxed atmosphere lots of fishing for all abilities well stocked lakes, Cafe is a comfortable place to eat with all sorts of good food and welcoming staff the shop has a good stock of tackle and for those who need assistance it's readily available, there is a good shower/toilet block which was clean. Many other things like the dog park and children's area, We have been here a few times and will definitely be back.
Disliked Although there are instructions to quite rightly not flush wet wipes down the toilet there are no bins in the men's to dispose of them, the wifi is very good generally but where we stayed we had none right bottom of the grass hook ups. There is no water in that area you have to currently walk across the field. Dogs off the lead signage needs to be in the main field I appreciate it's very hard to enforce leads but some of us are not always happy to have them running around us.

Liked Excellent site clean with all amenities. The cafeteria has very very good like home cooked food.

Large level pitch with open aspect.…
Powered cement/asphalt and grass travel trailer campsite
Liked Large level pitch with open aspect. Water and electric supplies next to the van which was convenient. Café on site. Large shower cubicles. Free use of DVDs, toaster and kettle in the information room.
Disliked No information provided on arrival about the area or things to see and do. Cleanliness of the shower and toilet facilities could be better. Notification of when the facilities are to be cleaned would be helpful. There was two planned power cuts for supply improvements but user's of the site were not notified.
