Electric grass pitch
Liked: First ever trip out in our caravan, facilities were good here, clean toilet and shower block. Washing up area was great, we couldn't get our water supply working so was really glad that was available! Had a tap on our pitch aswell which also helped massively. We will definitely come back again. Our camping neighbours were all lovely too
Disliked: The fact you cant walk around the lakes with your dog

Non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked: Quick check in. Modern, clean toilet/shower block. Beautiful views across the lakes.
Disliked: A lot of noise from the M69 which is right next to the site. Work currently going on so there's escavators etc parked up next to the camping fields. Looked to go into the on site cafe but all tables were full.

Liked: Was a seamless trip. Online checking was easy and efficient. Pitches were good. Ours was nice and close to the lakes and not too near the toilet block so happy with that! Toilet block was excellent. So warm in the night which was great!! Perfect first night in our new van. Will definitely come again.
Disliked: Nothing!

Electric hardstanding touring pitch
Liked: I loved having water, electric and a grey waist drain at out pitch for no extra cost. Level pitch just drove straight on. After we left at the end of our stay our next campsite was closed due to an unfortunate problem. However I phoned to see if I could come back and they were super helpful and said to pop over and they would sort it out. They also called us to give us the gate code incase we came late.

Amazing site but a few finishing touches needed.

Non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked: Beautiful place. Arrived late and it wasn't a bother. Facilities were good. Cafe on site and all staff very friendly.
Disliked: The track to the camping field had a few bits of sharp cans and plastic. The showers didn't have a detachable hose so a bit tricky for us girls if not washing our hair.

Non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked: A gorgeous location which was very tidy and well kept. Everybody was respectful, the staff very kind and social and even if you are not there for fishing, it is still a beautiful place to be. Fantastic value for money for the location and the views you get.
Disliked: This location is close to a busy road. It didn't really bother us much and not exactly much Makin can do about it, just worth mentioning. Secondly just a suggestion. The signposting for non electric camping could do with being moved. Extra accommodation is being built to expand, which is fine, this has however obscured the sign for the camping field and we carried on the wrong way initially.
