Makins Lakes

Tyckte om Nothing

Tyckte inte om Orribile experience. We arrived there 1 hour ish before the deadline for arrival. Noone was at the reception. We have tried to call the number.. I tried 5 tomes for 2 hours but noone answered. I have texted them on WhatsApp and noone opened my messages. Is being 2 days and i still did not receive any response. We parked in a random spot to try to look for someone and explore the area to discover the lady toilet was closed, only the toilet for disable was open and was in a disgusting condition with the sink blocked and no warm water. We were with a child and we ended up sleeping with 2 °C, no shower and no electricity.

Tyckte om Clean facilities. Good communication. Easy to access. Very beautiful scenery. Will be back in the summer when it’s a tad warmer!

Tyckte inte om Someone did end up parking in our pitch but that can’t be help. Was enough pitches to go around anyways.

Tyckte om Nice wide pitches, easy access to hook ups and water. Elsan point is clean and easy to use. Warm toilet blocks.

Tyckte inte om Not as clean in the toilet and washing up blocks as normal

Tyckte om Not a great deal, the view of the lakes were nice, probably

Tyckte inte om Where to start? Firstly, this isn't a "campsite" its a car park.

The site seems to push the lodges and the campsite is an afterthought because we're only campers, we'll put up with anything, right?

The site is littered with potholes (once you're past the nice lodges of course). If you manage to make it to the riff-raff area/carpark you'll be greeted with facilities which haven't been cleaned since they were built, about 20 years ago.

The outside "washing up" sink was a tragedy. There was old food, washing up bottles, mouldy sponges from campers from what seemed like weeks ago. Litter everywhere in this area. I comically walked over for the first day with my washing up and the disaster of a sink area could only make me laugh. So we ended up washing on the campervan for the week.

The showers, I'd like to say are a little better. The cubicles are quite big and they aren't push button showers, however, as with everywhere else on the "site" they were dirty & scummy.

If I were to sum up the site, my advice would be, save your money, camp in a bus stop and wash in a puddle. You'll be happier for it.

Tyckte om Big site, lakes were gorgeous! Perfect for any fishing holiday.
Lots of toilets and two showers for each male and female block. Very powerful shower which was lovely!

Tyckte inte om Felt it was not the cleanest for not having many people on site, but still nice.
Motorway is close and can hear it a lot.

Tyckte om The pitches were clean and firm with room for our caravan and car side by side. The electric hook up,water and grey waste disposal was at the rear of the pitch.
The toilet/shower block was heated and very clean with separate male and female units. The staff were helpful and friendly.
Although the site is near a motorway the traffic noise was not excessive.

Tyckte inte om Unfortunately the reception staff were not available on our arrival despite having a confirmed booking. After several unanswered phone calls we just set up on our own choice of pitch
