What customers say
This park gets kudos for roomy spots, clean facilities, and family fun. Staff are often called friendly. Downsides: inconsistent hot water, blocked toilets, and occasional shower block cleanliness issues. Entertainment's a hit but can get crowded. Some activities have extra fees. Great bus access is a plus.

I said to much
Meadows powered cement/asphalt travel trailer campsite
Liked The overall setup with facilities and restaurant was really good. It was a busy weekend but everything went down well with access to everything available and the staff were great.
Disliked The showers and ablutions were in a off state and really need a revamp. The luke warm showers were the pits for me I can't understand the saving from warm to hot .... so unnecessary. The wifi too was terrible without anybooister in a major Park like this is insane in 2026. They do it throughout Ireland but perhaps we are behind in technology but I believe it's just "cheap"

Disliked With all the places available we was placed on 201 wright under trees no sun at all. And the person next to us had spread out so far we had to drive in to pitch and place ourselves further under trees in order to get in. We had a good ten empty spots around us 😩😩😩
