Boyd Valley Lake

Ik was blij met Owner when he turned up in the evening was friendly and checked I was happy with where I was parked.

Ik was niet blij met On arrival it wasn’t clear where to go and I ended up in what I can only describe as a travellers residential community and parked up by a pile of broken pallets 🤔
I rang the owner and checked I was in the right place and he told me to walk around to the other field to see if I fancied anywhere else.
Fox field is much nicer and clearly the holiday maker field but there was no room.
I was only staying for 1 night so thought it doesn’t matter too much although I was disappointed.
I found a more suitable gap in Badgers field between a caravan and a motor home.
After an hour I was told to move by a resident so ended up in another gap.
I was now quite unsettled but had no where else to move to. There is no signal in this area so I couldn’t look for an alternative site.
A glass of wine and dinner and I felt a little better. The owner finally turned up around 8pm, was friendly and I said what had happened.
He said I shouldn’t have been asked to move and was I happy. I said there was no room anywhere else and I was ok.
In reflection I probably should have said I wasn’t happy to see if he could find an alternative but I was settled and didn’t want to pack up.

I had a disturbed night as I was opposite the gravel entrance and vehicles seemed to come and go most of the night.
Residents seems to be night owls with doors opening and closing and some banging. I had an unsettled night.
Next day I packed up and took my rubbish to the bin area which was overflowing with rubbish.
Toilets were basic but mopped down. One shower I didn’t like the look of but luckily for me I was wash facilities on board.
I wouldn’t rule out staying here again but would insist on being in the Fox Field.

Ik was blij met Location on lakes and peaceful area.
Firepits allowed.
Pitch up where you like in the designated tent fields.
Friendly team on site!

Ik was niet blij met Toilet/showers basic - not a problem for me but might be for others.

Ik was blij met Hmmmmm

Ik was niet blij met Not our cup of tea I’m afraid. The site carries a sign for the Camping and Caravanning Club, but doesn’t appear on their website, of which I’m a member (?!). I wasn’t sure if I was in the right place initially, as there was no-one to meet us and no bays marked out. The site has some caravans on it that are clearly residential. There was piles of building spoil everywhere. There was no flat ground and even with the ramps I carry, I’m not sure I could have got it level. I’m sure if you’re a keen fisherman and not bothered so much about the site, this would be fine, but not for us. To be honest, I didn’t stay. Drove away and found another site.
