Torworth Lakes

Liked: Lovely well maintained site. We stayed on a hardstanding pitch that was spacious and had a small hedge to give some privacy from your neighbours. There were only a small number of visitors that occupied the site, which made it very peaceful. There was a lovely cafe on site and a well maintained kids park, which my children enjoyed.
The setting is beautiful, 2 lovely lakes over looking the caravan site. We got to spot some local wildlife too- a heron and oystercatchers.

Liked: Nice sized hedged pitches..

Disliked: What a disappointment!!

Campers are not catered for on this site do NOT BOOK!!

Turned up went to check in in the cafe a young lad served me gave me a rule book
/ key code and that’s the only time I seen or spoke to any members of staff in 4days not 1 person came round to check on us or to even say hi/morning or bye/night before they all went home at 4.30-5oclock.. They are more interested in the cafe/Deli then the campers..
I sent my bloke round to grab some drinks while we was fishing they only had glass bottles of coke at £3 a bottle, once again not catering for the campers..

The lakes 🙈 5 lakes with about 30+ pegs and you could only get to 3 the rest were underwater all the paths around the lakes where flooded/Over grown this isn’t a bad winter this is a couple years worth of neglect.. They was so over grown you couldn’t even cast out let alone get a fish in 🙈..
They charged £8 a day PP..

None of this was mentioned on booking..
We came to fish & was very disappointed in the state of the lakes clearly not been looked after in years..
They could’ve mentioned on booking that the lakes where over gown/flooded.. I wouldn’t have booked if so..

As a family we was very unhappy with this campsite & will not be returning.. it has a lot of potential it would be a beautiful place if lakes where cleaned up & manager/staff made more of a effort with there campers not just dump us in a field n forget about us..
Only thing they care about is the cafe and locals that come in..

Liked: Good sized fully serviced pitches with view of the lakes and cafe. Cafe was lovely, friendly and good food.
Handy stopover for travelling on the A1.

Disliked: No time space between people coming in and leaving. Meant to leave by 11am, I was hitching up at 10.35 and there was already someone sitting waiting for my spot. I felt very pressured to leave. Then 5 min later, as I was driving out, someone else started driving in through the narrow gap. They reversed so I could drive over the grass to pass. This timing need sorted, they should give people a chance to leave before letting others in. Toilet (only 1 for site) had dried on poo and not cleaned, so obviously not checked daily.

Liked: Open space, lovely view of the lake. Quiet area but still close to amenities. Toilets and shower block were very clean. Nice little park to keep the children busy. I did not visit the cafe but looked popular with plenty of people inside.

Liked: Friendly welcoming staff in restaurant, good pre arrival information

Disliked: site needs some love/ TLC. Nothing to walk to and pathway to site facilities from pitch flooded so needed to walk back round to main site to use if needed, this should have been communicated upon booking as had no idea of this until tried to walk to them. Food prices were high I feel for what was offered, presented poorly my husband’s scampi meal looked like a school dinner! Site lights bollards not working so really run down looking site. Have stayed in the past before so know it has declined. Less stock in the boutique/shop etc also. Also on a busy road do very noisy

Toilet bit far away.

Liked: The area found some nice places to eat and the farmers market. On site restaurant and shop were lovely and the staff couldn’t do enough.

Disliked: Very poor lighting at entrance, post lights on the track weren’t working, no pitch light so had to use car headlights to see, no lit directions to pitches, no staff on site. Pitch dirty and obviously not checked after last guest, it had a pile of cigarette ends on it. Nightmare getting in and out of gates when closed. Needs electric barriers. Too top off it off got a text on Saturday saying if anyone is seen turning up the grass due to the wet weather then you will be charged to your debit card. Maybe if there was adequate lighting it might help?!?! Wouldn’t return unless improvements are made. I have made a direct review to the site but this hasn’t been acknowledged which is poor!
