What customers say
Spacious sites at a beautiful spot with a fantastic lake for swims & paddleboarding. Friendly staff, clean facilities (new showers!), and a chilled vibe. Local pub a short stroll away. A few grumbles about shower water pressure and campsite noise.

Great friendly site in stunning countryside
Bell tent (basic)
Liked This campsite is in a beautiful peaceful location, with hills all around, the drive down into it is stunning. Toilets, showers and washing up facilities were nice and clean, and there were plenty of them, spread across two blocks one at each end of the site which meant no one has to walk too far. The closest pub (white horse inn) is very close and there is a footpath taking you there so no need to drive (pub is highly recommended by the way but I suggest booking at the weekends).
There is a lake on site where you can use paddle boards and they had a clever rental scheme for SUPs and kayaks which we’d definitely try if we came again. There is a cafe by the lake which has options for breakfast and lunch, hot drinks etc. The waffles were delicious.
We stayed in one of their ready pitched bell tents which was excellent - new this year we were told. The warden was very friendly but I have no doubt she could enforce the rules if needed. Actually the site quietened down relatively early both Sat and Sunday night so it was a peaceful weekend. Would definitely try and come back. Thanks!
Disliked Nothing!

Lovely camping site, would come again
Non-electric grass pitch
Liked Really lovely site, with the lake next to the campsite and some great fields for walking the dog. The lake is perfect for kids to learn to SUP on! We had rain the first night so went to the very close pub and had a great meal together (pub is dog friendly too!)
Disliked Unfortunately we had a few neighbours who were quite noisy, and some went on until the early hours. Our second night was much quieter, thank goodness.

Non-electric grass pitch
Liked Spacious and very flat campsite. Lake was very clear and clean. It’s great that launch fees are included in the campsite price. Nice cafe on site and great off lead walks for the dog. Local friendly pub 5 mins walk away. Friendly warden. Clean facilities.
Disliked Soap watered down so doesn’t really wash hands, no facility to dry hands in toilets.
The pressure on the taps at the larger toilet/ shower block was way too high, can’t properly wash hands without getting soaked.
The temperature on the showers at the small shower block are quite literally scalding. I wouldn’t be letting a child anywhere near them!
No fridge/ charging facilities.

Very nice and good value.
Non-electric grass pitch
Liked We booked for a Sunday night and it was lovely and quiet. In the morning we went paddle boarding on the lovely lake. Will definitely go back as also plenty of dog walking opportunities and a couple of lovely pubs.
