Dacre Lakeside Park

A aimé We used to have a caravan on Dacre up to 6 years ago. We love how the park has changed over the years. More activities for children is great!
We were camping overnight this time with friends. The field is good now you're allocated a pitch number, with plenty of room per pitch. Its not overcrowded! The toilet block on the camping field is a great addition.

N'a pas aimé Having the toilet block on the camping field is a great addition, however at 11.30pm they hadn't been cleaned since 8am. There was no toilet paper, so people had been using the few paper towels that were left as toilet roll and had therefore blocked the toilet. The showers were near useless, you cant call it a shower more like a constant drip, and were freezing. This definitely needs sorting out.

A aimé Absolutely loved this place. Enjoyed it so much we booked an extra night.
So much to do for all ages. Usually struggle with having kids with such a big age gap. But this place is perfect for kids of all ages. And was really relaxing on a night. Our tent was near the toilet so that was great, toilets and showers were pretty clean too! Reception staff were all amazing. So so friendly and very helpful.

N'a pas aimé Nothing at all i disliked about the place. We enjoyed our 3 nights.

A aimé Brilliant site, loads for the kids, very spacious pitches. Bert restaurant is a huge bonus, pizza takeaway was ideal to eat in sunshine.

A aimé The site is brilliant for children, very reasonably priced and I like that you can book just 1 night as many sites are minimum 2.

N'a pas aimé They advertise fishing but you cant fish unless you are in a lodge, this was a big let down as thats the reason we booked this site so my son could fish on the lake. They also said all bikes were out of use due to punctures and the brakes not working.

A aimé Fantastic set up and well maintained (don’t understand the negative reviews on showers/toilets?) - plenty of space (even when full), good range of facilities and of course the lake if you’re a fan of paddle boarding etc. Enclosed area to exercise dogs is a great addition.

N'a pas aimé Mention of a no open flames policy but not enforced - would’ve liked to have brought a fire pit if I’d known.

A aimé Flat camp ground - well maintained, grass cut short. Plenty of open space for families to play games. Toilets were clean - 8 available to campers. Couple of nice bars on site. Short distance to Hornsea. Quiet rule after 11. Also liked that there were no caravans mixed in with the tents!

A aimé Really liked how clean the lake water was, and the pitch size was just right!

N'a pas aimé I've visited this place twice, and both times I had the same issue: after taking a shower, I developed a rash around my face and neck. The first time, I thought it might’ve been caused by the shower gel, but when it happened again on our second visit—immediately after showering—I’m convinced the water in the showers is not clean.

You also have to pay to access the lake, even if you're self-launching, which seems excessive.

The music from the bar is extremely loud and continues until midnight. Unfortunately, it’s not enjoyable music—just noise, which really disturbs the atmosphere if you're looking to relax.

We requested a different pitch two and a half weeks in advance (having stayed previously and disliked being in the middle), but we were given the exact same pitch again. The first time, we let it slide because we booked late. This time, we made the request well in advance, so it was frustrating to see it ignored.

Having a central pitch was a terrible experience. Kids were constantly running and shouting around us. One group even broke our tent while we were trying to sleep, and we had to go speak to their parents. Another group of children—who weren’t even staying on site—were left running around while their parents drank by the toilets. One of them hit our car. It felt chaotic and poorly managed.

We also wanted to rent bikes, but the ones available were completely unsuitable—clearly children's bikes, with flat tires, rusted frames, and no maintenance at all. We tried to lift one and spin the wheel—it barely moved. Honestly, they shouldn't be charging for these; they shouldn't even be offered for free.

Additionally, there isn’t much to do on-site unless you’re willing to spend a fortune.

If you're looking for peace, cleanliness, or decent service, this is not the place for you. We gave it a second chance, but we won’t be returning.

A aimé Everything about this place is fantastic. Just such a nice place to visit. Activities were good fun, especially the watersports.
Would definitely visit again, but stay for longer.
