What customers say
Great for families, with roomy spots, loads to do, and good facilities like soft play and a restaurant. Staff are super helpful. While most loved it, some felt showers needed a spruce-up, activities were a bit dear, and there was some noise. Still, many keen to come back!

Liked Lovely site, good pitches, facilities were good but had some minor problems, sink taps were hard to push on, and turned off as soon as you let go of the tap. The gents lights would go off halfway through having a shower, I had jump out of the shower and dance around naked to get the lights to come back on.
