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.

Lovely site back soon
Powered grass travel trailer campsite
Liked We were on the grass pitch and there were some hole, which I tripped over and fell over no damage done, but I think it would be a good idea to fill them in, a great guy on the reception was really helpful to get the app to get out and get back in well done Charlie

Anonymous Powered grass travel trailer campsite
Liked We booked this site as we had not long purchased our very first campervan. Having no experience of camping at all, we were so impressed by the facilities. The shower blocks are modern and clean, there is a washing up station, a washing machine, library and there is so much for the kids to do. The animal trail was really nice and the lakes are very pretty. Staff are really friendly, the pitches are well spaced. We camped with a one year old and a five year old and the children felt more than welcome there with a play area for them. This is only around a mile from our house and was a test site for us to get to grips with the camper but we will no doubt book another night as the kids loved it.
Disliked We actually didn’t have anything at all that we disliked, it was reasonably priced and far exceeded our expectations of a camp site.

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
Anonymous 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.
