Power optional grass campsite
Liked: Lovely view of the lake and very peaceful, easy check in and good facilities. Level pitch.
Disliked: There appeared to be people permanently living on site in touring caravans that looked like they had been there for 10years! This scared me a little has I have had trouble with travelling community’s before and the facilities were situated in the centre of these caravans. But I didn’t see anyone or have any trouble.

From the manager: Hi there,
Thank you for your feedback on your recent visit. We have some longer term caravans on site. Our longer term guests are a great bunch and help us keep the site a friendly and safe place for all to visit. We do hope to see you again and are so happy to hear that you loved our lakeside camping pitches & facilities.
Many thanks,

Liked: Good size pitch, flat and great views of the lake. Excellent toilet block, clean, heated, plenty of showers and toilets for the demand and washing up area.
£5 electric lasted us for 4 days with plenty left over. WiFi worked well including streaming.
Great water sports facilities and if that’s not your thing, lovely walk round the lake - we did this every day.
Bar / restaurant on site with good menu. Local shops / pubs all close by, approx 5 minute drive.
All staff were friendly and helpful. Highly recommend.

Liked: What a treat place, friendly reception, great staff , went for a walk round thw nature trail on thw lakes and came across 3 members of staff each one asked how I was doing and went out of way to say hi.
Great facilities are very clean and tidy.
The bar and restaurant are great and friendly staff.
The location is great, such a busy area and an oasis in the middle .
And to cap it all off they had free WiFi what a hit.
Disliked: Traffic noise from main road nearby

From the manager: Hi Elizabeth,
Thank you so much for your lovely 8/10 review. Kindly note that our reception team had organised a self check-in with you ahead of your arrival and loaded your electric into your electric post for you to make this easy on the day for you. They also emailed over your welcome pack complete with map and pitch number to aid with your self check-in arrival on the Thursday. This pack does include an out of hours number to call that is linked to our on-site campsite warden should you need any assistance on days where our Activities Reception is closed and there are staff on-site on Thursdays in our Bar & Restaurant should you need any help. The reception was open all day Friday and the team also helped with your Saturday check-out and helped to process your electric card return for you. We appreciate all your feedback and have made sure to add a wifi code any self check-in emails going forwards. Really happy to hear you enjoyed our brand new shower block and large grassy pitches and look forward to welcoming you back soon. We really appreciate all your feedback and will make sure to implement this going forwards.
Many thanks,
Box End Park

Liked: Beautiful clean site, fantastically clean toilet and shower facilities, watersports on site (great to watch them too!). My 9 year old daughter and I had a ball on the Aqua Ninja course! Incredibly friendly staff throughout reception, watersports, bar and restaurant. The on-site bar and restaurant was absolutely superb - beautiful setting inside and out, cosy, menu and food incredible - despite camping there (in our van) we definitely weren't slumming it here!
Disliked: Nothing to note here. Absolutely spot on, we'll be back!
