Makins Lakes

Ik was blij met: big spaces peaceful, friendly staff, lovely cafe , walks to the nearest village couple of lovely pubs

Ik was niet zo blij met: couldn’t get water hot enough but that’s just my opinion

Ik was blij met: Plenty of pools

Ik was niet zo blij met: Electric hook ups are an absolute disgrace falling apart , that's if they work at all,
Nothing to do what so ever, Cafe only open until 2pm, so don't go unless you are into fishing, just for reference if using Sat Nav don't just put in post code or you will end up on M69, Which then tells you have reached destination, looking around we found the camp site runs right along the said motorway. Needless to say constant traffic noise was both day and night. Having reached camp site eventually, the receptionist told us being sent on M69 happens on a regular basis

Ik was blij met: Site was a good size with separate field for electric and non electric pitches. Toilets were cleaned regularly, although I didn't use the showers they were a good size and in their own rooms with space to get changed in and hooks for clothes/towel. Entrance
was a gate with code that closed in the evening making it feel safe

Ik was niet zo blij met: There wasn't anything I would say I disliked but I would say that there's a few things I would add.. a drinking water tap in/nearer the non electric field and to not have the chemical disposal next to the washing up area.

Ik was blij met: Widely spaced rows of pitches.
Excellent shower rooms (not tiny cubicles).
Much wildlife (ducks, geese, swans) around fishing lakes.
Quiet rural location (nearby motorway was barely noticeable).
Cafe offering decent breakfast at a fair price.

Ik was niet zo blij met: Water taps had a thread (something I've now added to my list of things to keep in my campervan).
The giant toilet roll in one cubicle was on top of the holder (presumably because someone had lost the key to open the holder!).
Otherwise excellent showers need a shelf to put your shampoo/shower gel upon (I had to use the floor).
Some signs pointing to the cafe from the camping field would be helpful.

Ik was blij met: The sensible spaces between pitches so your not on top of each other.
Atmosphere peaceful.
Goos Showers and beautiful lakes.

Ik was niet zo blij met: At times toilet paper in loos, running out. Make sure you bring some of your own just in case, which we did.

Ik was blij met: spent a week camping and had a great experience. The place was peaceful and well-maintained, perfect for relaxing and enjoying nature. The facilities were very clean, which made the stay even more comfortable. The customer service was also excellent—friendly and helpful throughout our visit. Overall, we had a lovely time and would definitely recommend it to others!No WiFi available!

Ik was blij met: Well laid out touring pitches with plenty of room, excellent shower and toilet facilities which were very clean! Lovely location surrounded by fishing lakes. We would recommend this to anyone looking for a nice clean and well kept site, with nearby towns approx 15 minute drive out.
