What customers say
Highly-rated site with spotless, modern facilities. Friendly staff, spacious spots, & a charming lakeside cafe. Great for families, but watch for wasps & improving pitch signage/cleaning at busy times.

Powered grass and gravel travel trailer campsite
Liked Peaceful site, although we were only there midweek, so not sure how noisy it would get on a weekend.
Hot water in showers and washing area.
Disliked Dressing area in the shower cubicles flood, making it very difficult to get dried and dressed without getting clothes wet.
The gravel pitches for caravans were not in any order and subsequently some vans were far to close to others. (We didn't accept our given pitch for this reason, and the wardens kindly offered us an alternative)

A lovely site, aside from a few minor issues. Would go there again.
Powered grass travel trailer campsite
Liked The site was lovely, the kids enjoyed the play park. The pitches were large, and whilst busy the wasn’t a lot of noise on the site. The onsite cafe was lovely and reasonably priced. We had pizza from the food truck on Tuesday, and while a bit pricey it was delicious.
The toilet block is large, clean, and spacious. I never had to queue for a toilet or shower.
There is a lots of space for the kids to play football etc.
My fiancé did fish in the little lake. Not many swims and not much in there but he did catch a good sized perch.
Disliked There was a sewage smell sometimes, that didn’t seem to coincide with people emptying the toilets. Some times during the day the toilet block would smell of it. It wasn’t overly strong and not there all the time.
The hot taps in the toilet block are too hot! Could only use them for a second before switching to the cold tap
The bark paths. The bark was uneven and unpleasant to walk on, and we all constantly had bits of wood in our shoes!

Well kept, welcoming, comfortable.
Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite (wild)
Liked The welcome and check in was really convenient and cheery. The site is very well kept and the amenities are excellent, clean & warm showers & loos in a really nice block. The stand out feature is the bar and social area that was a lovely place to hang out, play cards, eat & drink.

On the whole very good, shame about the pot wash area.
Powered grass travel trailer campsite

Really helpful and friendly staff. Great…
Powered grass tent or trailer tent campsite
Liked Really helpful and friendly staff. Great café and restaurant area.
Disliked Had an issue with the hot water on site, and it kept turning off in the evenings. Had to contact out of hours line to get someone to turn it back on.
There was a lot of groups still being noisy late into the night (past the 10pm curfew time), it would have been nice to have seen a warden inspect the site.
Shower block is cleaned at 7am, this seemed like an odd time to when most people wanted to use it.

Lovely place to visit
Powered grass travel trailer campsite
Liked Friendly staff, park for the little one to play in, in the evening we sat outside, bought a nice cocktail and watch our little girl play with other kids. Was a nice experience on our first time using our caravan - will definitely be coming back.
Disliked I can’t think of anything I disliked.

Everything to do for the children…
Powered grass tent or trailer tent campsite
Liked Everything to do for the children from the play area to the spacious field to play ball in etc. The kids loved it! And we loved seeing them off their iPads and being children!
Disliked The toilets. You could smell them halfway down the field. They were dirty all the time and I didn’t see one single cleaner whilst we were there.
