Primitive forest floor tent campsite (woodland)
Liked: What an absolutely beautiful little campsite! Ideally situated right by the river so perfect for bringing our paddle boards and popping out whenever we wanted. The site itself is quiet and pretty, the staff are incredibly helpful and friendly. We stayed on a busy booking weekend, a half term stay, but barely noticed other campers at all. Showers are cute and clean. Coop just over the road for anything you have forgotten. Cafe on site had excellent food and more than one vegan option. We will definitely be recommending the site to people we know and returning next year for another visit. You are quickly transported to another place entirely and honestly could be on holiday anywhere at all.
Disliked: Tiny thing. The toilet door needs better privacy for night time. Net curtains do not work well at night when there is a light on inside!

Primitive grass and gravel RV campsite (lake view)
Liked: We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Branbridges Leisure. The pitches are spacious, the campsite quiet and relaxing, whilst also being family friendly. The site felt secure and safe, and the facilities clean and tidy. The staff welcoming and incredibly helpful. The lack of WiFi was refreshing so we could disconnect from our devices for a couple of days.
Disliked: There was nothing we disliked about our stay.

Primitive grass and earth tent campsite
Liked: Relaxed atmosphere with plenty of space for camping and also for the kids to play, run by really friendly and helpful people.
Loved having the river so close by.
Short walk to local shop and takeaway a few minutes drive away was really convenient too.
We’ll definitely be back!
Disliked: Only thing I can think of is the loo roll ran out late evening and wasn’t restocked until the next day
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Thank you for your lovely review! We hope to see you again soon 😊
Apologies about the loo roll - you wouldn't believe how much we get through 😂
The Lakeside Safari tent is excellent value for a short break

Waterfront safari tent
Liked: Received a warm welcome at this lovely site. The entrance via a small industrial estate does not prepare you for the delights this site has to offer. The whole set up has been managed so well and provided a much needed break for a couple of nights. We booked last minute in the lakeside Safari tent which had everything provided and featured a lovely veranda over the lake.
I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this site. Campers can have open pit fires and BBQs and fish for free in the lake. The local Co-op store is just outside the campsite so no need to drive to pick up those last minute items. The campsite offers canoeing & paddleboarding directly on the river and we found a few lovely local walks with the dog.
The staff are excellent and can't do enough for you.
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: We are so pleased to hear you enjoyed your break and that you felt that the site is well managed. Sounds like you had a wonderful time and thank you for your kind comments 😊

Primitive grass and earth tent campsite
Liked: So far one of our favourite camping site. It has many great activities for kids/adults with also a side river walk with some beautiful views.there’s also a near by shop down the road which came in handy.the facilities such as the showers and toilet they are all clean and very well kept .there’s a bar onsite which is also the reception which has some of the things that you would enjoy on a sunny day. The coffee shop is clean and has many options for drinks and food . The staff are also very welcoming and friendly in the caffe and on the campsite. The pitches are all great especially the grass pitches.
Disliked: We took the last spot on the grass pitch which was one of the back ones and unfortunately that was one of the worst ones as it was muddy even though it was sunny . The next day it rained and even made the situation worse so I would recommend picking either the two sides or the front of the pitch and try to avoid the back part.however we still had a wonderful time and will definitely return.
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: We are very pleased to hear that we are one of your favourtie camp sites! Thank you very much for your review!!
Sorry to hear you felt you had a muddy pitch. We do not allocate pitches so people can pick a pitch to suit their needs. We only fill to 3/4 capacity so that everyone has an enjoyable time and can pick from many pitches and allows more space to choose from. I hope on your return you can find another pitch you like 😊
Excellent site with lots to do and friendly staff
