What customers say
Spacious pitches, top staff, great cafe & facilities. Peaceful spot with fishing, wildlife, and dog-friendly zones. Generally clean, though some shower pressure niggles and minor upkeep needed. Handy for exploring.

Powered grass caravan site
Liked Very pleasent relaxed atmosphere lots of fishing for all abilities well stocked lakes, Cafe is a comfortable place to eat with all sorts of good food and welcoming staff the shop has a good stock of tackle and for those who need assistance it's readily available, there is a good shower/toilet block which was clean. Many other things like the dog park and children's area, We have been here a few times and will definitely be back.
Disliked Although there are instructions to quite rightly not flush wet wipes down the toilet there are no bins in the men's to dispose of them, the wifi is very good generally but where we stayed we had none right bottom of the grass hook ups. There is no water in that area you have to currently walk across the field. Dogs off the lead signage needs to be in the main field I appreciate it's very hard to enforce leads but some of us are not always happy to have them running around us.
