A fishing lake with camping not a campsite with fishing.
Electric hardstanding touring pitch
Liked Fishing lakes, husband caught a lot of fish and enjoyed his trip.
Disliked More matches on lakes than advertised, main website said Wednesday and Thursday but in fact over weekends too. Only 2 showers, no mop and disinfectant bucket, no soap in ladies for 3 days, not cleaned even though cleaner attended and ticked off check sheet. No obvious cleaning done. Pitches shoddy and looked like a shanty town at times. Not dog friendly, no poo bins, dog field?? Difficult to find, no signage and didn't use as looked unappealing.

Nice campsite if your going electric but non electric to be improved.
Non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked Toilet and shower facilities were good and clean. Shower was nice na shot. Nice area to wash up and empty toilet waste
Disliked Non electric field needs some tlc. Barely any grass just weeds and sharp plants also covered in duck poo.
The non electric field is too far away from the test of the facilities making toilet/washing up trips long.
Digger parked up on site with a huge pile of dirt wasn’t necessarily a nice view either.
Right next to motorway which is Ioud but also sounds like white noise.

Ok for a stop over but not holiday
Electric hardstanding touring pitch
Liked Position for our visit to Triumph motorcycle factory
Disliked Toilets showers ok , but not cleaned regularly even though there is a cleaning rota posted , you could write your name in the dust on the hand dryers , the site is inhabited by hundreds of geese so poop everywhere 💩obviously it’s mainly used by fresh water fishermen who occupy the lakes which is fair enough, the electric post on our uneven pitch was broken open exposing the 240 electrics potentially life threatening for children

Nice site, but overcrowded due to fishing rally
Electric hardstanding touring pitch
Liked Nice setting
Clean, well equipped toilets
Disliked There was a fishing group with 20 to 30 people camped in about 10 tents over only 2 or 3 touring pitches. As the site was almost full, the toilet block was not big enough to cater for this large number of people,
