What customers say
Well-kept, clean campsite with roomy, level pitches and a beautiful lakeside spot. Staff are always friendly and helpful. Lots of watersports available, a big hit with guests. Some facilities are basic/dated, but new ones are coming. Restaurant/bar generally good. Popular for its peace and nature.

From the manager: Hi there,
Thank you so much for your feedback and we're so happy to hear you had a lovely stay here with us. We do ask all dog owners to keep their dogs on a lead at all times whilst on-site, so it's a real shame to hear that fellow campers did not respect our site policy during your stay. Thank you for bringing this to our attention so we can look into this going forwards.
Really look forward to welcoming you back again soon and have a lovely end to the summer holidays.

Great site for lake use. Good pitches sizes and clean facilities.
Electric optional grass pitch
Liked Lovely site and location with a view of the lake. Good pitch sizes and the site was quiet. No noisy groups. Lots of activities to book in the lake too.
Staff and instructors/life guards were all very friendly and polite.
Disliked Unfortunately there was a bright light above our pitch 49 which stayed on all night (the site said they are looking into this)
Disappointed that even though we paid to launch our own paddle board for the hour only one person was aloud the use it per booking - waiver reasons even though we all had waivers from previous use of the lake.
Most lakes we have been to you pay a one off launch fee for a day at a similar price to the hour. (Site did say they were new to launching own)
Hooks needed in the toilet block
