Cottington Lakes

喜欢 Only stayed one night but a lovely, peaceful campsite in a nice spot. Close to Deal which is worth a look around. Secure barrier system in operation which locks at 7pm. Great if you are also going to fish.

不喜欢 At the time of our visit we were told the sink hadn't been fit for the pot wash yet and was directed to the cold water tap. I think fishing is the main priority here with camping as a secondary business. Two toilets maybe not enough for a full campsite when also shared with people who are fishing.

喜欢 Very quiet and tranquil setting amongst some beautiful trees.

喜欢 Lovely large flat field, everyone we met was very friendly and helpful. Great to have free showers . Will definitely stay again if this way.

不喜欢 Not a dislike really, but mobile signal was poor, so WiFi would have been useful.

喜欢 Beautiful surroundings. Easy cycle ride into Deal. A good base for further excursions too. Staff were friendly and helpful. Nice little cafe on site. Facilities were clean and adequate and are currently being extended.

喜欢 Sanitäre Anlage super sauber, sehr gepflegtes Gelände, schöne Wege direkt vom Gelände in den Wald, großzügige Stellplätze, kleines Restaurant mit guter Küche direkt am Platz. Personal freundlich und hilfsbereit.
Wir kommen auf jeden Fall sehr gerne wieder !

喜欢 Scenic location.

不喜欢 Washing facilities alsnto not allowed to walk dogs around lakes. This should have been stated on the pitchup information as a restricted area.

喜欢 Good access plenty of room nice cafe
Lots of fishing available

不喜欢 Not sure if toilets and showers would cope if site really busy
We had it nice and quiet and no problem always spotlessly cleaned.

喜欢 The location is great - an easy walk to the seafront and lots of cycle routes, especially along the coastal path into Walmer and all the way to Dover.

Very clean toilets and 1 hot shower per gender.

Large pitches.

Very reasonably priced.

不喜欢 Discrepancy between information on Pitchup and the information on the sites website (IE - Check-in is between 12-3pm and not between 3-7pm as specified by Pitchup).
No information regarding use of facilities or surrounding area at check-in. We had to call a phone number as reception was closed at 3.30pm when we arrived. Told the access code then left to our own devices.
People booking on the website choose a pitch, but booking via Pitchup is random. Therefore, people pitch up on pitches already reserved, without knowing, and it causes unintentional hostility amongst campers.

The hard standing is NOT hard standing, it's just hard soil and grass.

It's not a campsite, it's a fishing business with room to park a van/caravan or pitch a tent.

There's no grey waste area. People used the chemical loo point.

There's one fresh water tap with no drain underneath.

There's nowhere to wash dishes.

There's a youth project positioned on the site with kids wandering around/playing football around the Motorhomes. We were hit by a rugby ball twice. This also seemed to be a safeguarding issue to us. Kids were unsupervised some of the time.

Campers CANNOT walk around the lakes, unless fishing. You can't see the lakes from the camping field.

Little phone signal and no wifi

喜欢 very good site. clean toilets shower looks like a well maintained site for a new camp site

不喜欢 not really anything to dislike

喜欢 N/a
