We loved this campsite and would definitely visit again.
Electric optional grass pitch
Liked The cafe did great food and drink. The green field was lush! The watersports looked great and very tempted to join in!
Disliked Other campers which didn’t respect our plot (walked through our camp area at all hours of the day- when we had a toddler to care for), stayed up until 3 singing and had lights shining into our tent- very disrespectful.
From the manager: Hi there,
It was an absolute please having you stay here with us and thank you so much for your wonderful 10/10 review. We're so sorry to hear that your fellow campers didn't respect your plot or our 22:30pm quiet time during your stay. Please do make sure to contact our out of hours team if this happens again on your next visit, as we have a strict quiet time between 22:30pm and 07:00am and anyone not adhering to these rules will be asked to leave the site.
Really hope to see you again for another stay in the future and thank you so much for taking the time to review our campsite.
Many thanks,

From the manager: Hi Kelly,
Thank you so much for your lovely 9/10 review and we loved seeing you here for your recent visit! Thank you so much for your feedback and we really appreciate your time taken to leave a review of our site :)
Kindly note that all of watersports sessions, including SUP Self-Launch, are lifeguarded sessions and must be pre-booked online using our booking system. No swimming or water access is allowed outside of these time and this does include customers staying on the campsite. We do have a small natural wooden playpark area located just behind our Corner5 bar decking area. Please feel free to ask our reception team on your next visit who would be happy to show you where this is located. We also have a great land based activity suitable for 3yrs + if you'd like to give our Disc & Adventure Football Golf a go on your next campsite stay with us.
Thank you so much for posting your electric card back to us too after this was accidentally taken home - received today and we have processed your £5 deposit refund for you having received this back.
Look forward to welcoming you again soon and have a lovely summer!

Excellent basic site with clean facilities and lots of space.
Non-electric grass pitch
Liked The site was great, big open space for the tents and lots of space for the kids to run around. The toilet and shower facilities look very new and were always clean. The activities at Box End, such as the Aquapark and Wakeboarding were brilliant to watch whilst relaxing outside the tent and provided extra entertainment for the kids, even if they were too young to take part.
The small cafe option, operating out of a shipping container by the lake is perfect for lunch, ice creams and drinks, nothing fancy but very decent.
They have begun creating a lovely walking path around the lake of 5km which is really nice for an evening stroll through the grass meadows, watching the wildlife and views.
Disliked It's always a little sad not to be able to have a campfire whilst camping.
The tent pitches are very exposed to the wind coming off the lake. The electric pitches have some protection from hedges and trees separating each pitch site. So make sure your ropes are secure!
If you want to eat in the larger restaurant, I would suggest that you book in advance!
From the manager: Hi there,
Thank you so much for your lovely review and we're so happy to hear you enjoyed your stay with us!
We completely appreciate a campfire does add to the experience however, unfortunately open fires and fire-pits are not allowed on-site to ensure everyone's safety whilst camping with us on our flat and grassy pitches, especially during those windy and dry weather days. BBQs are allowed on campsite pitches as long as they are raised nice and high off the ground and they're stable. Our restaurant is super popular all year round so we'd completely agree about pre-booking a table if you'd like to dine in the Corner5 Restaurant for our lunch or dinner service during your stay. Thank you so much for your feedback and we really appreciate your time taken to leave a review of our site :)
We look forward to welcoming you again soon!

Ok
Electric optional grass pitch
Liked Lovely view of the lake and very peaceful, easy check in and good facilities. Level pitch.
Disliked There appeared to be people permanently living on site in touring caravans that looked like they had been there for 10years! This scared me a little has I have had trouble with travelling community’s before and the facilities were situated in the centre of these caravans. But I didn’t see anyone or have any trouble.
From the manager: Hi there,
Thank you for your feedback on your recent visit. We have some longer term caravans on site. Our longer term guests are a great bunch and help us keep the site a friendly and safe place for all to visit. We do hope to see you again and are so happy to hear that you loved our lakeside camping pitches & facilities.
Many thanks,
Box End Park
