What customers say
Spacious sites, lovely lake views. Facilities are clean & warm, showers praised. Staff are friendly. Site is peaceful for walks, but some noise from the motorway and occasional toilet cleanliness issues. Potholes on site.

Liked Spacious pitches, good facilities and lovely views of the lakes! Didn’t eat at the cafe on-site but it looked lovely and staff were warm and welcoming. Lakes are fenced off by the electric pitches, but you do need to keep your eyes on the little ones - if so it’s perfectly safe for young ones (mine is just under 2, a very independent waddler)

Powered grass campsite
Liked Spacious pitches, very chilled out and relaxed.
Disliked The showers could do with a good clean! A lot of mould sealant could do with being replaced and the mats - I wouldn’t even want to knows what’s underneath them.

overall a lovely campsite and pleasant place to stay.
Powered grass campsite
Liked large site and we were pitched in close proximity to the amenities which were great. Toilets clean but ran out of loo roll on occasion. Otherwise no issues. large showers.
Water /tap at electric hook up site which was really handy.
Good location for exploring the surrounding areas.
Enjoyed our stay here.
Disliked Cafe /hot drink options limited on site if you want that sort of thing.

Would recommend.
Powered grass campsite
Liked Spacious pitches, nice and flat. Convenient electric hook up with tap, and a toilet, shower and washing up block very nearby. Surprisingly quiet given the proximity to a motorway - we weren't disturbed by that at all.
Disliked Toilets/showers got a bit mucky. Possibly as it was the middle of a bank holiday weekend. Tried to do our bit to keep it clean/tidy though.

Really good site, excellent fishing, touring, dog and family friendly
Powered cement/asphalt travel trailer campsite
Liked spacious pitches, needs a little tidy up and with a few changes could be a 10/10. Amazing views and fishing and really good price. Lakes are beautiful and really is beautiful. Very relaxed. Lots of families enjoying the space and it was lovely. Dog and family friendly. Bait shop was good. No problem with Wifi on site and phone signal was really good too.
Disliked Toilet and shower facility aren’t great but this really is down to the users more than the owners, regular cleaning is needed, although when really busy, more toilets and showers will likely be needed. The general pitches need tidying up, there is no service point for motorhome’s so you will need an aqua roll or a portable waste tank to empty for those that don’t normally carry one (ie us) The 10am departure time is harsh on Sunday as most sites we have been to are are 11am. Cafe could be open longer, include to include lunch hours- a little play park for the children that do visit with the families as there was a few although there were not noisy or anything. There is a big field opposite the lodges that could have facilitate this or have more done with. The after 6pm fishing rules was not followed and people were still fishing and nor were the noise levels by follow guests but it did not bother us as we are not early sleepers. There was the smell of cannabis occasionally but not much you can do about it sadly. It won’t stop us coming back. Maybe a site warden driving occasionally would deter this and other bad behaviour, late noise levels and fishing? didn’t see any site managers / owners when we were there that were noticeable.

The showers were lovely and warm - especially the heated floor.
Powered cement/asphalt travel trailer campsite
Liked Plenty of space for each hard standing pitch. The site is well laid out with well spaced hookup and water supply
Disliked The toilet facilities were not well looked after. Only two flushing toilets in the make changing rooms with not constantly running - resulting in only one effective flushing toilets. Toilet paper had run out and not topped up after two days. In the female toilet only one working shower the days we were there.
