What customers say
This well-kept, clean campsite gets rave reviews for its dog-friendly amenities, including large enclosed play areas and a dog pond. Spacious pitches and spotless, modern facilities, including showers and restrooms, are consistently praised. Guests describe it as peaceful and beautiful, with lovely views and lakes. A few minor points raised: occasional shower temperature issues and no direct walking paths from the site.

Powered grass campsite (large)
Liked Stayed for 2 nights with my partner for our first camping trip together. Wanted somewhere low key and chill for a few days away from the hustle and bustle and it did not disappoint.
We requested a lake view prior to arrival and once greeted by an owner, we were taken to our beautiful pitch with a pond view. Really no complaints. Worth noting pond view pitches are farthest away from the toilets however was still only a very short walk so well worth it. Toilets are very well maintained and showers were lovely.
Pitches felt slightly close, but again it was our first time camping so I wouldn’t have anything to compare this to.
There is washing facilities and a communal fridge freezer which was a lifesaver for keeping drinks cold and bbq food fresh.
We were able to have a bbq at the lake on one of our nights and stands are also provided for this which was fab.
Grounds were very well maintained- no complaints.
We walked to a local garage (about 20 min walk) but worth noting this is along A roads- although manageable with a grass path. We also ventured further to a local pub also which was approximately 40 minutes walk again mostly A roads but more than do able.
Worth noting if planning to do this walk- there is long grass along the road by the camp, meaning we had to cross to the other side to walk on shorter grass. As a result of this, we had an unfortunate and intimidating encounter with what I would assume was the bnb owner opposite the campsite.
He was very rude when explaining he didn’t want us walking on the grass next to the road by the house (not sure it’s even his) and argued that if forest oak cut the grass outside the camp we wouldn’t have to walk along his side of the road.
An understandable request if this was something that happened often as I can imagine it could damage the grass over time, however I can’t imagine many people walking here.
Not necessarily forest oaks fault, but definitely worth mentioning as a warning to others planning on walking here- he was quite abrupt.
Nevertheless we had a lovely stay at this camp- definitely one to remember for us :)

Great modern facilities, lake and views but road noise.
Powered grass campsite (large)
Liked Great modern facilities. Good lay out of the site and lovely lake and views.
Disliked Road noise- it was closer to the A road than I realised on the map. I am not used to road noise but if you are then you will be fine! I could not hear it in my van with the door closed.
Water was not hot and only 2 other pitches in use.

Friendly staff spacious pitches. Excellent site with clean facilities.
Primitive grass campsite (large)
Liked Spacious pitches and close to all places we wanted to explore (all within 11 mins driving) of the site. Friendly staff upon arrival. All round lovely site and would go back
Disliked Loud base music coming from somewhere one evening which was on going to early hours. Not sure if this came from the events place as only a one off.

Perfect solo camp with my dog
Primitive grass campsite (large)
Liked First solo camping trip with my dog and it couldn’t have gone better. A lovely lady showed me where to go, which really helped as it was my first time doing something like this on my own. The site was perfect, really clean with an amazing lake view. It’s great for dogs too, with two exercise fields. Toilets and showers were spotless. Will definitely be coming back.
