What customers say
Spacious pitches, lovely lake views. Facilities (showers!) clean & warm, staff friendly. Peaceful spot for fishing/walks. Note motorway noise, occasional toilet cleanliness issues (being fixed). Poor road conditions on-site.

Liked Lovely quiet and clean
Disliked Hookup points are a little too far around 15m especially when the grass is wet and muddy. Potholes could do with filling in

Liked Easy site to book, stayed last weekend and agin this weekend. Close shops, great fishing. Loads of room for dog on 20m lead outside van. Toilets/showers clean, washing up area nice and clean and well lit. You are given a gate code so no probs after the 4pm deadline
Disliked They could do with sorting some pot holes out, it’s not really a dislike but to be mentioned.

Overall a lovely site. No light pollution so dont forget your torch.
Powered concrete slab caravan site
Liked Great size pitch, toilets realky clean and warm in the block, there were only 2 showers (female) one was broken however the one that worked was lovely rain fall shower head. Great views of the lakes. Nice outdoor washing up area under cover.
Disliked Needs a bench/seating area in the shower room. Grass was very boggy take your wellies. Some of the electric points are broken it was very hit and miss. Could really do with an electric point upgrade and more of them.

I suspect in Summer this wouldn’t be a bad spot.
Powered concrete slab caravan site
Liked The pitches were indeed spacious. I can’t say anything much about walks etc as suggested by the app because the site was pretty boggy due to the volume of rain. I stayed here during my first week at a new job & as the NEC show was on, there wasn’t much else available with power & hard standing & showers in the area.
Disliked Potholes - Wow they were a lot on the site roads. Admittedly there’s potholes everywhere at the moment but the site had a lot of them in a small area making the drive very bumpy.

It’s was fine, I would go back definitely
Powered concrete slab caravan site
Liked Close to water if I wanted to fish, toilet/showers close to most hard standing pitches. They previous people that have left bad reviews saying electric posts are damaged I didn’t see any of that.
Makins sent me a welcome txt message with gate code, yep I didn’t see anyone but I didn’t need to! It was all there
Disliked Toilets are in good condition but could do with a more regular clean. There was muddy sinks but bear in mind this is a well known fishing destination, anglers probably nip up for a cheeky wash and …. You know what! It’s to be expected but o do think more often wc inspections or code locks added to the doors for camping only.

Bit pricey for February
Powered concrete slab caravan site
Liked Toasty warm in the toilet block. Safe site with coded gate Quiet at night
Disliked You need a long hook up cable . Very dark needs lights on road to toilet block . Washing up area messy glass on floor . Pitch very loose and all ends up in van and a bench in the shower would be good .

Don’t think we will be back. Place has loads of potential.
Powered concrete slab caravan site
Liked View of the lakes.
Disliked No one to meet us. Didn’t see a member of staff in 4 days. Arrived 31/12 left 3/1. I suggest don’t open park new year if all amenities are closed. Shower block desperately needs a refit. Electric hook ups exposed to elements.
