Makins Lakes

A aimé Nice and easy book, turn up and check in no issues - your left to your own devices which is nice , chilled atmosphere

N'a pas aimé Poorly maintained - other than a pitch what are we paying for ? For the effort they put in I’d say it was a poor price , facilities were in very poor condition, left nothing but a squeege to ‘clean’ shower rooms , however there isn’t adequate drainage floors are left in puddles and dirty . They have toilet check sheets there , apparently checked 3 times a day , we arrived Friday just after 4pm …. Toilet check sheet had not been signed by the time we left on Sunday at 11am … which showed as there were no toilet roll in men’s or ladies by Sunday . When I booked there were no electrical hookups available however there were many empty electrical hookup pitches available when walking around . I’d say either lower your price or put more effort in these areas. You can hear cars from road at night too , wasn’t awful but it was there , had 3 toddlers with us and they didn’t seem to like it but slept eventually anyway

A aimé Loved the friendly welcoming service, loved the shop , loved the setting..... Oh my word it's absolutely beautiful and spotless. All the lakes were stunning a well kept. We will absolutely be back.

N'a pas aimé Only thing we could say is to maybe have cleaner toilets ( don't get me wrong they are absolutely usable! And we've had worse!) and hand wash. But to be honest if you go camping and don't being hand wash..... 🤔 So we just made sure we took our with us when we visited the toilet.

A aimé Was very relaxed, liked the freedom we had with pitching (non electric) it meant we could camp next to friends we were meeting there. Toilets and showers were clean. Owners were lovely. We always look for basic campsites so that the kids can run around and enjoy the space, and it was perfect for that. Good space but not too big, so we always felt safe letting the children play and the toilets were only a few minutes walk from us. Close to a town with lots of shops. Will definitely be back!

N'a pas aimé Wasn’t anything we disliked, maybe just a few tips for people looking to come- bring a fly swatter- there were lots of wasps around. And the ground is quite hard so would advise bringing screw in tent pegs or at least strong ones. But neither of these things are enough to take away from how great the site was.

A aimé Stunning place. Great value for price. Beautiful lakes, great scenary, spacious. Cafe on site.

N'a pas aimé Nothing for children to do (maybe some football tables or football nets placed out on the green would be ideal).
Gypsies landing in huge amounts.

Réponse du gestionnaire : Hi Krystal, thankyou for your recent review.
We are in the process of adding a few more things to keep kids entertained

A aimé Beautiful campsite with all the lakes, great sized pitches and great little cafe. Very peaceful.

N'a pas aimé The toilets were not well cleaned and not cleaned regularly enough. The wash up area was also left rather filthy most of the time but that will be due to fellow campers. A suggestion is thst staff regularly clean that area too.

If the toilet block and wash area were regularly cleaned ans upped there standard, this would be an excellent campsite.

A aimé Great for fishing

N'a pas aimé Site could do with some updating

A aimé Fishing lakes, husband caught a lot of fish and enjoyed his trip.

N'a pas aimé 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.

A aimé Toilet and shower facilities were good and clean. Shower was nice na shot. Nice area to wash up and empty toilet waste

N'a pas aimé 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.
