What customers say
Sandwich Lakes shines for its scenery, fishing, and helpful staff. Clean facilities, roomy pitches, and tasty cafe food are highlights. Perfect for anglers, families, and dog owners (great walking area!). Some noted muddy spots and toilet issues in wet weather, with management addressing them. Many loved the peaceful vibe and value, keen to return.

Brilliant site will be using again
Powered cement/asphalt and grass travel trailer campsite
Liked Beautiful campsite, the staff were really friendly and helpful. Didn't use cafe but looked and smelt great. Nice hot shower.
Disliked Only thing was the pitches are named but not allocated and one evening we had to move spots. Would suggest a floor squeegee so customers can move water into drain as I have experienced in lots of other places, keeps floor drier too

Good spacious site with level pitches. Free WiFi
Powered cement/asphalt and grass travel trailer campsite
Liked Large, level pitches around a big field so plenty of room between pitches and room for kids to play. Good location. A visiting friend with small child enjoyed the animal trail and play park. Shower block was heated.
The gate app was useful and worked from our pitch when our friend left.
We didn’t try the cafe but heard good things about it.
Free WiFi.
Useful fast food outlets 5 mins away if needed.
Disliked Showers were powerful and hot but the 5-10 second push tap is really irritating - I can see it’s used to stop water being wasted but even 30 seconds of continuous flow would be better.
WiFi - very patchy connection even with site not being busy.

Excellent site
Powered grass travel trailer campsite
Liked Quiet tranquil site, clean nicely presented facilities. Continues to improve, added winter changes are sign of commitment. Beautiful lakes well maintained as is the site itself the staff are all very helpful and courteous you will miss out if you don't try it
Disliked We were on the right lower part of electric hook ups. It smelled of waste water lid is not fixed to the waste disposal box a simple fix, wifi is not available in that area, dogs off leads were an issue for us but I understand hard to police.

Excellent friendly and well run site with clean facilities!
Powered cement/asphalt and grass travel trailer campsite
Liked My son and I absolutely love this site! Clean, well run, professional service, great fishing and a lovely cafe with amazing coffee and tasty food.
The farm walk with chickens, pigs, goats, horses and alpacas is an added bonus, plus the play area and picnic tables are a welcome bonus.
Solid site wide WiFi, hot showers, a library of books and DVDs, and even a washing machine. The pitches are all well spaced and have well maintained electric hookups.
Would highly recommend and will revisit many times.
Disliked Just that one alpaca who gave me serious side eye. I couldn’t work out if it wanted to eat me or fight me. 🤣🤣🤣

Powered grass travel trailer campsite
Liked Camp site is nice and big with large pitches Showers and Toilets kept really clean the same for the washing up area, fishing lakes are really good. also the tackle shop , nice café good food and drink ,

Disliked my only 2 comment are that the café could have the menus and prices displayed on the glass doors so you could see them from outside at all times, but especially when the café has closed, the only other comment is that there should be be a discount for o.a.p.also a Discount if you are staying on site
