Likte Picturesque setting near lakes

Likte ikke Cleanliness I.e nappies in shower block floor
Washing up facilities left dirty in a state
No pitch allocation - free for all so spacing between pitches is challenging

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

Likte ikke 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

Likte 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.

Likte ikke 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.

Likte 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!

Likte ikke 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.

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

Likte ikke 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.

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

Likte ikke 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.
