Disliked Ground was a little uneven but bearable

Liked We stayed for 2 nights at Carney Pools on a non-electric pitch. Beautiful site, plenty of space and we were able to park by the pitch. It was our first time camping and it was a really enjoyable experience. The staff are very friendly, helpful and take a lot of care over the site. The shower/toilet block was very clean and had good facilities. We had a minor issue with the showers (coin went in but no power) but this was due to some else on site using a trolley token instead of a £ coin, so not the site's fault. The issue was rectified within an hour and I had a full refund for the coins I'd used. Disappointing someone would try to scam the site for 5 minutes of water, especially when the facilities are so nice. Dishwashing area was really helpful, especially with the motion detector lights for washing up after evening meals. We had our own fire pit and bought extra wood from the shop (£7.99 for a bag). We didn't use the play park (much to my partner's annoyance) but the kids on site seemed to really enjoy it. There's so much space on the site that we felt like we had the field to ourselves, despite there being 3 or 4 caravans and a couple of other tents. The glamping tent looked beautiful and is tucked away in the corner of the field with a private seating/garden area. We took a walk round the fishing pools on the first evening. They were really pretty, peaceful spots. My partner had brought his fishing stuff with him, but there was a match on the 2 main lakes so he gave it a miss. Pegs were well maintained, airaters on the water so fish care is clearly a high priority. The site supply landing nets to prevent any risk of disease transmission. All in all, a wonderful time.

Disliked Occasionally the cargo trains were loud through the night.
