Location next to the lake is…

Jul 2026

Liked Location next to the lake is great - took our paddle board and could easily spend the whole day here. We could also come in and out which worked well with kids, and could bring lunch back to tent etc. Cafe was great - pleasantly surprised there was a gluten free option for the whole outside menu!

Disliked Only 6 toilets (3 men’s 3 women’s) for the whole campsite doesn’t seem enough - it was quiet while we were there but can’t imagine how it would work if the site was full. Showers were OK - did come out like a lobster as it’s v hot bur clean at least. Only one block of showers seemed to work while we were there, not sure why but again not really an issues as only 3/4 pitches occupied. Whole washing up/sink/area felt thrown together and v basic especially given that I’d assume the majority of people will be spending the day at the lake will want to properly clean up afterwards. You can’t access the lakeside outside of the opening hours, a real shame that you aren’t allowed to even walk round etc - means the kids can’t access the park too. A park run rocked up at 9am on Saturday morning and ran around the campsite, felt a bit odd having loads of people running round the tents. Not a massive deal for us as they were quiet ish but when you’re still getting up etc would prefer a bit more privacy. The road is NOISY. Does not quiet down at night, if you’re a light sleeper bring ear plugs. Also so much geese poo everywhere! Not a deal breaker but just another annoying thing on top of others really.

From the manager: Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback. We're delighted to hear you enjoyed our lakeside location, the flexibility of being able to come and go throughout the day, and our café, particularly the gluten-free options. We would like to clarify a couple of points for future guests. During your stay there were only a small number of pitches occupied, and our toilet and shower facilities are designed to accommodate the total number of camping pitches on site. Comments about how the facilities would operate when the campsite is full are therefore based on assumption rather than firsthand experience. Our weekly parkrun takes place every Saturday morning and follows a designated route around the site. When tents are pitched within their allocated areas, participants do not pass directly in front of them. In fact, we've received lots of positive feedback from both campers and parkrunners, with many campers enjoying cheering participants on, and some even deciding to join the free community event themselves. As a natural lakeside setting, wildlife such as geese are part of the environment. We work hard to keep the site clean and regularly maintain the grounds, but it isn't possible to completely eliminate evidence of wildlife in an open, natural setting. Thank you again for your comments. We appreciate all feedback and continue to invest in improving our campsite and facilities.
