What customers say
Quiet spot with lovely views. Some found staff helpful, facilities clean and pitches roomy. Others noted it was run-down, with unkempt grounds, dated/unclean facilities, and missing advertised amenities. Management is working on improvements.

Excellent location, peaceful surroundings, cosy forest.
Anonymous Electric grass pitch
Liked Lovely peaceful location, beautiful scenery, the staff were very friendly and helpful and made us feel welcome. The little bar is nice, generally a great site, we personally loved the location as it felt like you were miles from anywhere, just in a pine forest near the lake.
Disliked The toilets and shower block were a bit dated and not the cleanest, but served their purpose.
The washing up facilities were also dated and very basic, but everything you need.

Good level pitches. The site has potential with the right management.

Liked Lovely quiet site in the forest with stunning views of the Moor and lake. If you like quiet and basic this is the site for you. The facilities are clean but could do with a tidy up and the outside area's could do with some general maintenance. They could do with separate toilets from the showers and more toilets but they are clean. The bin area could do with screening off so you can't see the bins. It has a good children's playground and the staff are friendly. We didn't use the facilities as we had our caravan with our own. They have lovely clamping pods but if you were paying for them you would say the facilities let them down. We did use the bar and pool table. We will definitely be returning as we found it very relaxing even though it was basic. I would say though if your looking for quality then this is not the site for you!! Right off the A30 but you could not hear this.
Disliked Nothing. Just needs some TLC and general maintenance.

Liked Beautiful place. All the staff are amazing. The camping area is very nice and clean. The toilets and showers are spotless. Our kids have enjoyed a lot. Only few minutes walking distance there is lake. If you love the nature this is the best place to stay.
I have done the research and this is one of the darkest places in UK. You can see all the stars and will feel like you can touch the stars.🌟.
We had few drinks and eaten in the restaurant and also used the WiFi in there. The food was nice. Very good service. Thank you guys for your hospitality.
