What customers say
This peaceful, dog-friendly site amid fishing lakes offers a clean, tidy environment & helpful staff. Guests love the spacious, flat pitches, clean facilities & cafe. Convenient for Deal & Dover excursions. Great value but limited showers/toilets may be an issue off-season. Lake access is for fishermen only.
