From the manager: We really appreciate you taking the time to share your experience, and it means a lot. We hope to welcome you back again in the future for another relaxing stay.
Thank you again for your kind words and support.
Good site, will use again just for the fishing.
Unpowered grass caravan, tent or trailer tent site
Liked The staff are friendly and helpful, we arrived to find the non-electric field over full as some people had taken up more space than allocated however the owner gave us a spot in the ehu field without any drama. The toilets are clean and maintained if not a little dated. The grounds are well maintained, level pitches with no bumps, stones or thistles etc means the kids can wander around barefoot without worry. The fishing was good fun, plenty of Rudd, Roach, and Perch to keep the kids happy. If using maggot you can make a great swim in a few minutes then the kids will pull a decent sized fish every cast without waiting long. The carp were spawning so not many bites but we still landed 1 every couple of hours. Largest was 10lb others have landed 13+.
Disliked My only criticism is the pitches are very close together. If this doesn’t bother you than the site is perfect.

Liked This campsite is an absolute gem of a place. The atmosphere here is great, so laidback and welcoming. Great for families and couples alike, we will definitely be returning.
Disliked The showers need a bit of an upgrade however, there are plenty of them (so no queuing in the morning) and the water is hot. All in all there really isn’t much to dislike about this place.
