Unpowered grass tent or motorhome site
Liked Considering Calum & Hannah opened in Aug 25, the outlook and plans for the site it will be a desired spot. We were lucky to find a nice glade in the woods overlooking the lake that had its own sheltered kitchen area with running water sink and built in BBQ, plus a good sized table, there was also a seating area and fire pit. There are several of these areas on the site giving you that personal space. There are a couple of new and very clean WC /showers rooms, with as I understand plans for increasing. There are BBQ and picnic seating for general use plus rope swings for the young at heart ( or kids)
Perfect for a quiet relaxing break , kids would love exploring in the wooded area.
We would definitely return to the site with our pooches.
My Merlin app for birds picked up over 20 species
Good luck Calum & Hannah !
Disliked Lack of clean signage to the site but this is in hand.
Once you find the Pick your own , Farm Shop & Bakery, where you pay your booking balance , follow the gravel track past the pumpkins to the back of the wooded area

Liked We had the most wonderful time at Sopley Lake. Hannah and Callum were extremely welcoming, and you have everything you need right on hand. The geese at dusk on the lake, the farm shop nearby and pick your own was lovely. We can't wait to return next year and bring more friends.
