Makins Lakes

Me gustó Not a great deal, the view of the lakes were nice, probably

No me gustó Where to start? Firstly, this isn't a "campsite" its a car park.

The site seems to push the lodges and the campsite is an afterthought because we're only campers, we'll put up with anything, right?

The site is littered with potholes (once you're past the nice lodges of course). If you manage to make it to the riff-raff area/carpark you'll be greeted with facilities which haven't been cleaned since they were built, about 20 years ago.

The outside "washing up" sink was a tragedy. There was old food, washing up bottles, mouldy sponges from campers from what seemed like weeks ago. Litter everywhere in this area. I comically walked over for the first day with my washing up and the disaster of a sink area could only make me laugh. So we ended up washing on the campervan for the week.

The showers, I'd like to say are a little better. The cubicles are quite big and they aren't push button showers, however, as with everywhere else on the "site" they were dirty & scummy.

If I were to sum up the site, my advice would be, save your money, camp in a bus stop and wash in a puddle. You'll be happier for it.

Me gustó Big site, lakes were gorgeous! Perfect for any fishing holiday.
Lots of toilets and two showers for each male and female block. Very powerful shower which was lovely!

No me gustó Felt it was not the cleanest for not having many people on site, but still nice.
Motorway is close and can hear it a lot.

Me gustó The pitches were clean and firm with room for our caravan and car side by side. The electric hook up,water and grey waste disposal was at the rear of the pitch.
The toilet/shower block was heated and very clean with separate male and female units. The staff were helpful and friendly.
Although the site is near a motorway the traffic noise was not excessive.

No me gustó Unfortunately the reception staff were not available on our arrival despite having a confirmed booking. After several unanswered phone calls we just set up on our own choice of pitch

Me gustó Locations to nearby towns and the NEC as we went to the caravan show. Toilet/shower facilities were ok. It was lovely by the lakes.

No me gustó The site felt dirty, pitches were all un even. It was as if it was a travellers squatters site. Wasn't nice at all. First day we got there, we pitched up, sat down and then workmen was banging away, chainsaws etc, no peace what so ever!

Me gustó After reading a lot of negativity, reluctantly booked 3 nights as I needed to be close to the NEC. A lot of effort has been put into the lodges with little effort to the touring site. The shower block is modern, however it's badly neglected.

No me gustó Want to be helpful and not just critical. Lack of cleaning to the shower blocks. Washing up sinks full of food, no one cleaned them the 3 days I was there. The 2 empty bottles were there from day one. It's no good having a sign to say leave it as you find it. If it's dirty before you go you leave it the same. The block would take a couple of hours to bottom it out. Not the cheapest site on the platform. Water both in sink and showers not hot enough. Having spent the last 6 weeks in Croatia they can teach us a thing or two. This standard wouldn't survive in Europe. It's no good saying " you will have a word " with the team. That's obviously has not worked. The site is a big plot of grass, not a camp site I wouldn't want to holiday there for a week.
