What customers say
A peaceful, well-kept campsite with a beautiful lakefront location, praised for friendly staff and great pub food. Pitches are generally level and spacious. However, many guests noted the dated toilet/shower facilities need upgrading, with some citing cleanliness and availability issues. Minor signage & WiFi glitches also reported.

Disliked Nothing.

Good value for the money we paid
Powered grass campsite
Liked The campsite was small, quiet at night, you could choose if you wanted to eat at the pub or do your own thing, ideal if you like peace and quiet and relaxing, if this does not meets your expectations, then you should choose a campsite that has more facilities, that also comes with a higher price.
Disliked The only drawback, would be the toilets and washing facilities , the doors on the toilets was a bit awkward and sometimes got stuck, the washing up station was ok but needs to be brought up to date as well as the toilets, I do understand that it would come with a cost , but I would be happy to pay a bit more, if the facilities were better.

Powered cement/asphalt and grass campsite
Liked Pitches were compact but site pleasant. Pub very accommodating for leave time. Nice relatively quiet site. Good dog walks. Found it very relaxing and likely to return.
Disliked Toilets were a little outdated. One struggled with flush. Due to grass pitches the floors were quite messy.
Disappointed with turn up time of after 2 pm then leave by 11am.

Liked Il pub è bello
Disliked La posizione è bella perché è vicinissimo al lago. Ma i servizi sono insufficienti e trascurati.

This site could be a great site, needs audits to make changes.
Powered grass campsite
Liked Loved the location and helpfulness of the staff on arrival,
Disliked Site just needs TLC :-
Signage is poor - we was on pitch 16 but finding it was a struggle due to the fact the sign was broken off and located in the edge.
I got locked into the toilet and was unable to unlock the door for 30 minutes, got the attention of someone outside and she informed the Pub staff- this could have been a medical emergency, it wasn’t - the Golden lion needs to understand they have a duty of care for people on their site. Need to make sure that things like locks work properly.
