What customers say
Stunning, tidy campsite with ace, modern eco-toilets/showers, praised for being spotless with hot water. Lovely, quiet lake setting and super friendly, helpful owners. Mostly no complaints, though parking was tricky in the wet and a few bits were still being finished. Highly recommended for its peace and great care.
Summary AI-generated from Pitchup.com customer reviews
A lovely and friendly site with really good facilities.
Unpowered grass tent or trailer tent site (lake view)
Liked A lovely little spot to camp with well thought out facilities and a friendly atmosphere. We really enjoyed our stay.
Disliked The site is situated right off of the road which at times can be noisy especially with farm traffic. Not a huge deal but worth noting for those with children or people who are sensitive to sudden sounds ect.

Greenfinch bell tent (basic)
Liked The tent was already for us, lovely picnic bench and the fire pit was ready for use. Although we do not fish the lake was lovely to go for a walk around with my 2 little ones before bed.
Disliked Eco toilets... lots of flies and very smelly and didn't feel very sanitary but that's my personal preferences

Liked shower was nice and the toilet was eco-friendly
Disliked you can't park your car next to the tent. We set up the tent next to the office to have some shelter because it was very windy and rained so much. After we took the tent down, it wasn't very pleasant to move everything back to the car in the heavy rain :/

From the manager: Hello,
So sorry, the weather was really bad when you stayed! You could have moved your car closer, we should have thought to suggest it. We try to keep cars off the field because of limed space when we're busy but we can make an exception in heavy rain, apologies :)

Liked Everything, this site is amazing, was able to just pitch up next to the lake, the toilets are eco friendly and very tidy, showers were good and the sink areas allowed ample space to have a few groups, it's so quite (except for the cows 😂) Mel is so friendly and welcoming, all in all a perfect little site for a getaway!!!
