Bosworth Lakeside Lodges

A aimé We have been coming to this site yearly and we do love it here! Really great to wind down, enjoy some paddling and watch beautiful sunsets! Pitches are spacious and the site is well maintained.

N'a pas aimé The vibe seemed a little off this year… can’t quite put my finger on it but it wasn’t as welcoming and friendly as previous years. Don’t get me wrong we still had fun but something was a little off…

A aimé We had a wonderful camping stay! The staff were lovely, friendly, and incredibly helpful throughout our visit. The facilities were clean and well maintained, which made the experience even more enjoyable. It's also a great spot to launch a SUP and enjoy some time on the water. The lake is absolutely gorgeous and provides a beautiful backdrop for a relaxing camping trip. We would definitely visit again!

N'a pas aimé Hard standing pitch had very large chunks of hardcore and rocks that was very uneven, causing trip hazard

A aimé The lake

N'a pas aimé We recently stayed at Bosworth Lodge Lakes and had booked for two nights, but unfortunately decided to leave after just one.

The biggest issue was being allocated Pitch 16. Throughout our stay, people repeatedly walked directly through our pitch instead of taking the path around. At one point, a drunk camper walked through our awning, past my mum, and became tangled with our dogs. Children were also riding bikes through our pitch. We have two 9-month-old puppies who are still learning, so every time someone walked through our space they became unsettled, making what should have been a relaxing weekend incredibly stressful.

To be fair, I can’t fault the staff. The warden was genuinely helpful and did what he could within his limits, even attempting to rope off part of the pitch. Reception were equally apologetic the following morning, completely understood my concerns, offered practical solutions and provided compensation, which I appreciated. Unfortunately, they can’t control the behaviour of inconsiderate campers.

The real problem is that this is an ongoing site design issue rather than a one-off incident. As long as there’s nothing physically discouraging people from cutting through pitches, many will continue to do it rather than take the extra minute to walk around.

My advice to anyone booking is to specifically request not to be placed on Pitch 16 or the front row in front of the lake. Alternatively, bring an extra-long windbreak so you can create more of a barrier around your pitch. That said, don’t expect it to solve the problem completely—people will simply walk through the gaps between parked cars instead.

I’d also encourage the owners to consider installing waist-height posts with heavy-duty eyelets and two runs of rope between the affected pitches. It would be a simple, relatively inexpensive solution that would clearly define each pitch and significantly reduce people walking through other campers’ space.

Aside from this issue, the site itself is lovely. The lake is beautiful, the toilet facilities were clean, a play area for kids and you can walk all the way around the lake. I can confirm that it’s £10 to launch your own paddleboard which isn’t stated on pitch up nor on their own website, only that it’s £10 to hire a board. If you are staying on site then launching your own board should be included, I wouldn’t expect to pay extra for that not when it’s the reason for visiting. Maybe it’s a down south thing but other sites haven’t charged unless hiring.

Overall it’s a real shame because this behaviour risks dragging down what is otherwise a lovely campsite. You shouldn’t have to educate adults on respecting other people’s space, but until something is done to physically discourage it, I think this problem will continue.

Hopefully the owners take this feedback on board, because with this one issue addressed, we’d happily consider returning.

A aimé Absolutely love this camp site.
So relaxing but at the same time so much for children.
Being out in the nature, walking around the lake, sandpit and beach area for the kiddies is a win!
