Cottington Lakes

Gostou We (couple) stayed here in March and it was very quiet.
This site is both a large fishing club and a camp site. It has fairly limited facilities: one shower per gender, and one toilet for males and two for females but has large fields for camping and campervans, therefore unless you have your own I assume there will be queues to use them in high season. The toilets and showers were immaculately clean.
The grass was well kept and the site caretaker was both informative and friendly.
There is a cafe on site but it was closed whilst we were there so can't comment on its menu. There is a large fishing tackle shop, therefore if fishing is your thing then you're golden.

The large solid sliding automatic gate closes at 5 and you'll then need a code to get in. This does help make you feel quite secure at night.

We had hoped to walk around the fishing lakes but this is out of bounds to campers. This is quite sensible really as otherwise the site would have to have all sorts of measures and insurance in place to protect non-fishers from the dangers of what are private lakes. But bear this in mind when booking. You can however walk around the outside of the lake area which is a pleasant walk.

Deal is a great place to visit with an excellent pier and a lovely cafe/kitchen at the end. The town does not seem to suffer from that run-down feeling many seaside places on the Kent coast suffer from and is well maintained. Deal castle is a place to visit and is well worth the walk from the site. There is a bridlepath and footpath from near the entrance to the site down and across some pleasant farmland into Deal although you do walk through a bit of an industrial estate to get to the urban area of Deal.
Sainsburies and Aldi are within easy reach from the site - 25 min walk or 5 min drive.

Gostou Site was peaceful and well kept. The toilet/shower block was very clean . Maybe a few more sockets and mirrors would be useful as in the busy period one mirror and socket wouldn’t be adequate.

Não gostou No Wifi

Gostou Beautiful lakes. Well maintained grounds. Staff very friendly and helpful. Will definitely return. Very peaceful setting.

Não gostou The only reason its one star short of a full 10 is that there is only one shower. Could really do with another shower or two.

Gostou Beautiful area, with very friendly people. All the services worked well.

Não gostou I booked a "North field electric hardstanding and grass pitch", but that just meant mud. The road is hardstanding, but not the pitch.

Not the campground's fault, but mobile services are poor.

Gostou Stayed there last week, beautiful place, would be lovely in the summer. Hardstanding pitches are not hardstanding, very muddy which wasn’t their fault but if they had been hardstanding, it wouldn’t have been that bad. Staff were absolutely brilliant, very friendly and helpful.
