Camping pod (two person)
Liked: Location and friendliness of staff.
Disliked: It is very tired! Needs a good cleaner and some bits sorting and it could be so nice. Fix the window too as it will not shut.

Non-electric grass touring pitch
Liked: Nice fishing lakes (I don’t fish but had a walk around) Actual pitches well maintained Had a warm welcome off the owner who showed me around the campsite and let me choose my pitch
Disliked: Toilet and shower facilities were dirty - dirt and dead flies all over sinks, soiled toilet seats and dirty toilet brushes left on the floor No washing facilities for pots and pans Campsite backs on to noisy road, luckily I had a good sleep but others may not!

Liked: Really friendly and relaxed. Beautiful surroundings and really pleasant fellow campers. The gent who met me and gave me the tour was brilliant and super patient despite me battling traffic and turning up with seconds to spare for the cut off time to check in. I’ll be recommending this one personally to my fishing friends too as the on site angling looks awesome Also really handy for Chester. 8 min drive straight into city centre on the main road passing the site.
Disliked: Nothing really. There’s no electric pitches but that’s not a bad thing for me, but may be for some. Some my find the main road disturbing if they are light sleepers but I probably had the best nights camping sleep I’ve had all year. Gets you back to nature perfectly…

Disliked: Couldn't find a good place to wash up after cooking. Lots of traffic from nearby road, was noisy through the night.

Liked: Great campsite with fishing lakes. Friendly approachable staff always willing to help. I’ve seen a few reviews dismissing the toilet block and showers - for us it was more than adequate and kept clean. It is camping after all and not a five star hotel. Great fishing - lots of large carp to be caught on simple methods. Note you have to finish fishing and be off the lakes by 18:00.
Disliked: Make sure to pitch away from the road side of the field - the A road can be a little loud with busy traffic until late at night and again early in the morning. Shame the on-site cafe is no longer open
