What customers say
Spacious, flat pitches and a stunning lakeside setting get a thumbs up. The on-site eatery's food and service are a hit, as is the friendly, helpful staff. While the site's generally clean, some find the loos and showers a bit dated, though new ones are planned. Water sports are a big draw!

From the manager: Hi there,
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review for our campsite and we're sorry to hear that your stay didn't quite meet your expectations this time round, as that's certainly the opposite of what our team strive for. Just to go back on a few of the points raised ...
- Our shower and toilet facility does offer hooks on the back of the doors to hang clothes whilst you're having a shower and are cleaned twice daily by our housekeeping team. If you have any issues during your stay please do raise this with the campsite reception team so we are able to resolve this on the day for you.
- The electric card costs £5 for the deposit which is refunded in full back to you at the end of the stay, so we can use this for the next person camping on your pitch. We can see that the card was returned back to our team and your £5 deposit has been refunded back to you.
- Our campsite WIFI is included at no extra cost for our camping users and there is a code within your campsite welcome pack. If you have any issues with the wifi during your stay, please do let us know so our team have the opportunity to help resolve this for you.
Wishing you a lovely summer and we do hope to see you here with us again soon.

Liked Nice pitch, I was only there for one night to attend a gig at Tofte Manor. Taxi back from Bedford train station was £11
Toilets and showers were spotless..
Disliked I was the first pitch in and there was quite a lot of cars coming through until around 1 a.m. soot was noisy. Gates were supposed to be closed at 10.30 but they were still open when I got back at 11.30

Liked Good sized pitches. Nice, open environment. Nice clean facilities. restaurant and bar on site very good. Great customer service.
Disliked The apparent "resident" population was a little off-putting. They did not cause any concern, but cosmetically was not comfortable.

We loved this campsite and would definitely visit again.
Power optional grass site
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.
