Tyckte om The break away

Tyckte inte om The state others on site left the toilet/showers. Paperwork in toilet block wasn't upto date or the blocks weren't checked?

We all brought our swimsuits & floats & bodyboards but wasn't allowed in lake ??

Tyckte om Location was good
Pitches were large
Dog walking area

Tyckte inte om State fishing on-site but if camping it is from a boat launch where you will have to avoid Watersports people and cast far out due to shallows
Very loud! The bar was playing music till nearly 12am
Bathrooms and toilets were filthy and when we went for a shower at different points of the day we never got any hot water.
Inconsiderate people onsite up talking till 2am
If you go and get pitch 21 ask to move it’s right next to the toilets, dog walking gate which is loud and the bar.

Tyckte om Good flat site and location. With good on site activities and play area for the kids.

Tyckte inte om At check in I was told where the pitch was and given a list of the site rules. However it is clear that the owners do not want to enforce the site rules. So then change them so people know what they are walking in to if they book to stay here. We booked this as it is advertised as a family site and it was right in the middle of the school holidays. Every night there were very loud drunk groups of adults screaming, shouting and singing at the top of their voices around their tents, way past midnight and into the early hours. But while the bar is adjacent to the tent field and is playing loud music and karaoke until midnight you can understand why campers don’t follow the “quiet time” rules. Also the site needs to decide if fire pits are allowed or not. Their rules say “not” but again lots using them and no one pulling them up for this, so would have liked to have brought ours.

Tyckte om We had a really brilliant stay here. I love the trees at the back of our tent which provided shade during the hottest time of the day. Kids had lots of activities/play as well. The nights were quiet and peaceful. The facilities were well kept. We'll pitch again anytime soon.

Tyckte om Loved the place. Everywhere is beautiful and so much for all age groups. just a shame some Staff dont know the rules and one person on the watersports was beyond rude with us, infront of children.
Gentleman and lady on reception was great, very helpful, and really lovely.

Tyckte inte om Gentleman on water sports was very very rude! Staff dont know the rules. We were told the first two days it was absolutely fine to fish by 3 different people so the kids did. We booked an extra night because we enjoyed it so much, then was told the last day they actually aren't sure if we are allowed to fish but we could because we already had been. Seems like no one new the rules because some were saying yes some Staff were saying no. Very upsetting as this was one of the reasons we booked the place as it clearly states we are allowed to fish and after seeing a review saying someone wasn't allowed and before even booking we phoned and they clarified it was fine to fish because we were staying on the site we just needed a licence which we purchaed. We were planning on coming back for a few days in the upcoming weeks but not sure we will if fishing isn't an option as its something the oldest two children like to do.

Tyckte om We used to have a caravan on Dacre up to 6 years ago. We love how the park has changed over the years. More activities for children is great!
We were camping overnight this time with friends. The field is good now you're allocated a pitch number, with plenty of room per pitch. Its not overcrowded! The toilet block on the camping field is a great addition.

Tyckte inte om Having the toilet block on the camping field is a great addition, however at 11.30pm they hadn't been cleaned since 8am. There was no toilet paper, so people had been using the few paper towels that were left as toilet roll and had therefore blocked the toilet. The showers were near useless, you cant call it a shower more like a constant drip, and were freezing. This definitely needs sorting out.

Tyckte om We've been to Dacre Lakeside for the weekend closest to the 11th August, for the past 4 years.

Pitch sizes are great, toilet/shower block is close to the field where you pitch up and gets checked throughout the day.
There is enough space between pitches for the kids to play. There is also activities on site for the family to enjoy.

Staff are friendly and helpful - in particular Craig (site/bar manager) who has always helped when we've had a question or problem. If we've had to raise an issue over the years, staff have always helped and dealt with it quickly - whether that be food or camping related. (Even issues we've had with local takeaways - Craig has helped where possible).

We have seen new improvements made to the site, each year we've been. Whilst we do not have a dog, the site is very dog friendly and they have an enclosed area for the dogs to be able to go off the lead. We've always found families with dogs to be respectful towards those who don't. There are new shower/toilet blocks on site.

Bett's restaurant has a lovely view of the lake. We've had some lovely food there but our favourite has been the pizzas from the pizza truck near the bar.

We've not accessed the lake activities yet but they all look fun and you can see plenty of people enjoy them.

Tyckte inte om Over the years, we've found the showers have been temperamental with their heat but it's always been sorted when we've mentioned it.
This year, the site has had a problem with moles, so the ground was not in as good a condition as previous years but we have always been impressed with the ground we have pitched up on in previous years. This wouldn't deter us from returning another year.
