Liked: Good communication of shower codes. Shower area very clean. Beautiful location.
Disliked: Cafe was shut on the days we were staying. Luckily as it appeared there was just one other person staying on site we had a flat pitch, but most appeared to be on a slope. Lack of privacy in shower area. No staff to talk to.

Powered grass tent, campervan or trailer tent campsite
Liked: Very quiet and picturesque. Very basic campsite. Great for a one nighter.
Disliked: Not much really. If you want to paddle board expect to pay!! £12 to launch your own and then they want proof of insurance else you will be paying for that too! Luckily we have it. And we think they let animals graze around the lake because there is S$&@ everywhere 🤷🏻 you would think where people walk round bare foot they would fence off. Toilets very basic.

Run down site, untidy, unkempt, and far too expensive for backpackers

Powered grass tent, campervan or trailer tent campsite
Liked: The quiet setting of the campsite. Felt very odd-grid. Facilities were outdated but fitting for the area and worked perfectly fine.
Disliked: The campsite is unmanned and the difficult to get in touch with someone in the evening so ensure you have your pitch and facilities information before you arrive.

Liked: Nothing, turned around as soon as pulled up.
Disliked: Did not stay pulled up seen the state of the grass which was not maintained at all!! so called pitches and not knowing which one was ours and only 1 tent pitched we turned around and requested a refund via email of which we have not yet received even a response from. Facilities were in fact public toilets!! Cannot be called a camp site this is more like a wild camping site.

Liked: View was fantastic
Disliked: Nobody on-site throughout the entire time. Had to phone on call manager to gather info for codes for washrooms. No idea where to park or any guidance apart from ‘park where you want’ from the on call manager. £21 a night for no assistance

Powered grass tent, campervan or trailer tent campsite
Liked: We loved this beautiful lake with our 7 and 11 yr olds. We fished and caught lots which kept the kids keen. Kayaks and Swan Pedalo were fun. Great little cafe served good coffee and the full English was superb! The kids loved the pancakes. Lovely 3 mile walk around the lake was ideal for our little dog and for our kids bikes. Facilities kept clean and stocked daily. Showers lovely and warm. Short drive to beaches, Bude and pubs. Highly recommended 👌

Liked: The older kids have the freedom to cycle around the lake on their own, and the younger ones have the freedom to go to the park on their own. Spacious. Beautiful. Quiet. Clean showers and toilets 😁

Liked: How quiet it was, the scenery, the cafe was also nice.
Disliked: Nowhere to purchase essential items (we literally needed a pint of milk one day and had to drive 10 minutes for it), grass was quite long and overgrown, no security, showers and toilets are in major need of an upgrade - no privacy. Also having to leave at 11pm on our second night due to the tent breaking from a storm (not the campsites fault but maybe that would’ve altered my opinions slightly as I would’ve had more chance to review it)
