What customers say

Lovely dog-friendly spot by fishing lakes. Clean, tidy site with helpful staff and a cafe. Spacious pitches. Near Deal/Dover. Basic, good value, but showers/toilets can be busy. Lake walks only for anglers.

Liked Come here for a few days with my son (10) and dog… was lovely! Staff were so helpful and polite .. we had never been fishing before so needed extra help and they went out of their way to help us. Toilets were always clean! They only have one shower but it was clean, nice and hot with good pressure!
Beautiful little place! Amazing for the price!

Liked we could choose our own pitch, and there was plenty of space

Disliked When we arrived in the afternoon around 5pm, the reception was closed. There was a phone number posted, but it only went to voicemail. The entrance barrier was shut, so we couldn’t drive onto the site. Two other families faced the same issue.
Fortunately, a neighbour had a different phone number that was answered, and we were able to get the barrier code.
The site had just one toilet, one shower, and two washbasin (at the male side). These facilities were old and not particularly clean.
