Non-electric grass pitch (lake view, no pets)
Liked: Good location, nice walks around the area, clean and nice toilet blocks
Disliked: Multiple people on the campsite were quite racist and abusive towards our group, yes due to a big group there was a bit of noise which we did control, no music was playing, other people were also awake and talking about weren't asked to quite down. If you are non-white family/friends please don't visit, find another place. Pitches where a bit on a slope but manageable.

Non-electric grass pitch (lake view, no pets)
Liked: The place itself, cleanliness of toilets, and the staff was good.
Disliked: Location of tents ( even after paying double of what paid by friends who installed their own tents, I was given Trent on an isolated area far from lake ) , size of tent ( you could barely stand in that ) , for a family of 4 it's not the size and quality I expected... I am very disappointed....

Liked: Beautiful location! We love the trees .
Disliked: Toilets/ showers not very clean. Also family/disabled shower/toilet have gap on the door when closed/locked that anyone can see you taking shower or sitting at the loo as it is opposite the mirror. Not great I had to put some toilet paper in the gaps for privacy.

Non-electric grass pitch (lake view, no pets)
Liked: Large, well kept campsite. Lots of activities, but these were all booked when we visited. Very good toilet and shower area, clean with good lighting. Hot water never seemed to run out which is great. Large communual firepit, which is nice to have. Fair price for the facilities on offer, I would visit again and book some activities ahead of my travel. However, as a first timer to this site, I did find it hard to find out what activities were available. It seemed on the day of our arrival, a large party had booked all the activities.
Disliked: Quiet times were from 10pm, but it seems these were not monitored as some neighbours continued talking loudly and yelling at their kids till well past 11pm.
