Fishing Canal powered concrete and grass caravan site

Liked: Pitches were big nice size, if you like fishing this is for you

Disliked: We chose this campsite as it had a cafe/restaurant and live entertainment we arrived on Tuesday on our way home from Berkshire when we arrived we were told the cafe/ restaurant were closed as they had a big wedding on Saturday, when you book a campsite you expect to get what you pay for , if we had known it wasn't open for food we would of gone else were, we were offered nuggets and chips but that's not what we wanted, the bar was open but you had to go to the office to say you wanted a drink, no live entertainment what was advertised, as everybody else said definitely not enough toilets for such a big camp site.

Madoc Lake unpowered concrete and grass caravan site

Liked: Really lovely, spacious pitches! Lots to do onsite including a small swimming lake, a bar with live music in the evenings and delicious pizzas! We had two dogs with us as well and they were very welcome. Plenty of space on our pitch to have them on long lines. There were also fields to walk them on! The staff were all very nice - helpful and welcoming!

Disliked: Not enough toilets / shower facilities for the size of the site. Manageable but more would have been nice! Our nearest one was also the one used by the swimmers in the lake so was often busy. A washing up station nearby would have also been very welcome.

Madoc Lake unpowered concrete and grass caravan site

Liked: Our 2nd visit, and it didn't disappoint, just planning when we can come again. So honest review, pitches are absolutely massive, downside concrete under the bricks so go close to the grass if needing to peg anything down. The lake is fabulous for paddle boarding etc. We bobbed around in a dingy, lake water is waist height for me (I'm 5ft 1) can't comment in the plentiful fishing lakes, but if you do fish you are spoilt for choice on lakes. Yet to try the cafe or pizza, but the bar has a very relaxed feel. Showers are free there is only one by the lake but never a queue for it. If wild swimming bring beach shoes as its silt at the bottom. Loved our stay, would highly recommend & will definitely be returning for a longer stay.

Disliked: Nothing
