Lower Lacon Caravan Park

Gostou The place was so nice, had everything you needed. Staff and rangers were so welcoming.

Não gostou When we turned up and got to our plot what we paid nearly £200 that said can have upto 2 cars which I thought included my family’s camper van meaning we could have tent still. Which it never stated and got told it was health and safety reasons and wasn’t aloud so pictures got took and sent to boss to see if we could stay or not. we were not out of plot that we paid for( for 3 nights) with the car camper van and tent still inside the 1 plot we paid for. and we got told that if we paid extra £60 they will by pass it. Which really boils down too not health and safety reasons just wanting extra money! We paid it as not a problem paying the extra what annoyed me was don’t say it was for health and safety when that didn’t mind when paying extra money and then looking around camp the was plots that had more than what we did. So I don’t get why we got singled out. We have never been anywhere were you can’t put what you want on the plot you paid for.
Also we were right next to a pathway with wooden post to which was Broken and I nearly fell through and so did my kids, so so much for health and safety when not getting extra money the can’t even fix posts to make sure they are safe.

Activities for kids were great

Não gostou Not set up for tents although they advertise it so. Needed a pneumatic drill to get the pegs in

Very loud at night. Party central.

Gostou Large pitch, lots of bins and taps.

Não gostou Rules for one and not another!
Was sited by a warden onto no4 but he didn't instruct no3 and no2 on their incorrect pitching, basically they put both their tents the wrong way using our pitch for guide ropes , their two families were basically including themselves onto our pitch using no 2 to park their cars , we had no privacy as the warden parked us in camper as per rules but no one asked them to pitch correctly . Everyone camping on the 2nd row behind us used our pitch to walk thru , we asked numerous times for them to stop cutting through as we had dog and all our family came for a picnic its was not a pleasant experience, our visiting daughter had her dog who was attacked by another person's dog off a lead, why bother having rules for us and then everyone else just did what they wanted.

Gostou Amazing camp site with plenty for the kids to do. The swimming, the club house, cafe, shop and mini golf. Pitches are reasonable in size.

Não gostou All the pitches being crammed In together side by side. Its okay if you're camping with family on separate pitches and can all be together, but when you have families either side of you who constantly argue and the kids are fighting and crying all day, it becomes the pontins of camping.

Gostou Location
Food OK on site

Não gostou Warden telling us where and how to set up, on ONE pitch when we paid for 2 pitches with electric, the other warden even said he didn't understand why he had told us to set up as we did, only later on in the day he admitted it was wrong and had been a misunderstanding.
The ground is so rocky we even bent rock pegs, the email received from the campsite actually say not suitable for tents,yet that's where we were put. The toilets at night were disgusting, fair play to the cleaners they were fine in the morning.
The site was full of screaming children racing around on bikes,scooters until late evening, I don't normally say anything but felt this campsite warranted it, they try to run it as a 5 star site, but it falls well short.

Gostou Fantastic family feel campsite.
Swimming pool
Food places
Plenty of toilet and showers
Playground and animals

Não gostou Would be nice if the family bar opened in the day, the adult only bar does, it was extremely hot weather when we went so going inside would have been a nice option.
We did pay for the WiFi which wasn't great in the top field.

Gostou We stayed in the orange section at the end - this seems to br the designated pitchup area - and the pitches were a great size. We had a midsize tent (berghaus air 600) with additional awning and two cars plus a trailer all on the pitch and there was still plenty of room for sitting, eating and playing.

The pool was clean and slots were easy to book. Showers were nice and hot but not too hot for the kids (push buttons with no temp control).

Não gostou When we arrived, it wasn't overly busy in our end, the orange section was maybe 20% occupied, and the toilets and showers (mobile) were clean but as soon as the field starred filling up they quickly began to get messy and soap/loo roll ran out well before the next cleaning slot. I think they probably need to be monitored a little more.

Gostou The facilities for children and the staff service were good.

Não gostou The area was overgrown with weeds and littered with trash. It was estimated that there were only two toilets and one temporary toilet available for 300 campsites.
