Liked That it is quiet and my friend got to fish
Disliked Did not get discount for caravan club membership had to pay more to fish. As I have stayed before a few times and this has never been the case . They only take card payments they should take cash as well.although they say the WiFi is free you can not get connected to it

What a great find! Can’t believe…
Electric hardstanding and grass touring pitch
Liked What a great find! Can’t believe we haven’t been here before. Very peaceful with stunning walks around the lakes.
Popped in to the shop on arrival to book in, all very straightforward, shown to the camping area and all facilities explained - EHU, water, chemical disposal, showers and toilets etc. Everything exceptionally clean and well looked after. There’s a large field where the dogs can safely run off lead as well as a large play park for the children.
We visited the cafe in the morning for breakfast and were met by very friendly staff and a decent cooked breakfast. Lots of options available.
We liked it here so much, we booked an extra night and will definitely be back.
