What customers say
Highly recommended, beautiful campsite with a peaceful lake atmosphere. Guests love the spotlessly clean, well-designed facilities (hot showers, compost toilets). Owners are friendly & helpful, creating a relaxed vibe. Fishing's a plus. Occasional road noise noted.

Primitive forest floor tent campsite
Liked Great facilities, brilliant showers, eco friendly, spacious pitches, friendly and helpful owners, not thousand of rules!!
Disliked Only minor negative would be as it had been raining the woodland pitches were very boggy, just a little note when booking about this potential, no drama and didn't affect our love of the site

Primitive grass travel trailer campsite
Liked Hidden little gem!
Lush well kept and quiet site with a welcoming vibe.
Pleasure to be able to park and sleep next to the lake , and on a site that you won’t get moaned at for having a wee campfire off the ground , As what’s camp without a campfire .
Can also fish if needed .
Reasonable prices

Really lovely overall.
Primitive forest floor tent campsite
Liked Stunning location. Quiet but well attended. Fab fishing opportunity for hubby and teen boys. Loved the fact we could use our hammocks and own fire. Toilets and showers and washing up area really, really clean, bright despite heavy use. We will definitely be returning. We are local so was nice just to head away for a few days. Will fish year round now we know this little gem is here.
Staff approachable and accessible.
