Powered grass campervan or trailer tent campsite
Liked This site offered great views across the lake and the hills beyond, the site was very clean and staff were out litter picking nearly everyday. The site was well maintained with plenty of room between pitches and the toilets and showers were clean and readily available to use. The staff were friendly and accommodating and the on-site shop offered ample amenities if required. I would definitely recommend this site to family and friends and would return myself.
Disliked Only dislike ( this might just be my personal preference) is that the pitches aren’t specifically allocated to you so unless you leave items behind or ask for a reservation flag from reception, you run the risk of losing your pitch and having to find another if you leave for the day. Not a massive problem but could be an issue if the site is busy. I feel that if the pitch was allocated to me and reserved throughout my stay then I would have felt slightly more comfortable. Overall though a very minor dislike on this amazing site.

Powered grass travel trailer campsite
Liked Loved this campsite from the staff, cleanliness of the campsite and facilities was spot on.
Yes we had perfect weather but the site felt safe not over crowded and we felt important, when day trippers weren’t allowed on site something which could be a big earner for them, but no the most important people where us the campers we had the luxury of the private access to the lake and it felt special. Thanks so much for a perfect weekend in a beautiful setting.
Disliked The toilet roll holder behind the toilet! As silly as it sounds it was annoying when you have short arms.
Excellent site all round, will definitely be returning!
Powered grass tent campsite
Liked Excellently maintained campsite, the shower block was so clean with loo rolls always well stocked, constant hot showers with plenty for the site.
Beautifully located with private access to the lake and close proximity to the local town.
Good family quiet time from 2230hrs in the evening.
Will definitely be returning.
Disliked Nothing it was great!
Great site, will revisit
Powered grass tent campsite

Powered cement/asphalt RV campsite
Liked Site was in a lovely setting near to lake and river.
Site shop stocked with essentials and things that children liked
Electric hard pitch 12 a good size.
Grass pitch behind and luckily our daughter and 3 young children arrived in time to take the grass Electric pitch she had booked .which I was happy about as we asked when we arrived if they could reserve her a pitch next to us but they don't reserve pitches and she was by herself the first night with the children
Disliked Lady on book in very abrupt and not very helpful (however young girl on bike made up for it and she was very friendly and cheerful)
Disabled toilets you need a code and you are not given one automatically even though they knew my wife was disabled
Also grass river pitches in front of us was awful one family had campervan large tent attached then red car parked and lite fire pit in front of car.then another campervan pulled up waving his arms the man then proceeded to move red car pit fire out . So this man could get to his awning and zip onto his van he was left with no real space to get out of his drivers door as there was table chairs etc.we were not allowed an extra car it had to go in car park behind barrier. He just dumped his red car infront of his awning and campervan.this really should not happen. Glad it was not my pitch

Primitive grass tent campsite
Liked Lovely quiet site in a picturesque setting, the babies were able to run around the field with plenty space and loved it!
Sat right on the lake and even though we didn't participate in any water sports due to having young children, we all loved watching everyone else there! They even have picnic benches at the lake so you could eat there!
Plenty of toilet, shower and washing up facilities, all kept lovely and clean! The park is amazing for young children, and the on site shop has everything you could need!
Gorgeous site, we'll definitely be back!
No complaints from us. Had a great stay!!
