What customers say

Pitches big & clean, staff friendly. Lovely fishing lakes, great value. Showers/toilets are clean, warm, modern. Cafe & shop a hit. Motorway noise a slight bother, and facilities can be busy in peak season.

Melissa W.

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked We absolutely love it here. Been camping quite a few times and its always great. The site is well kept. Always a warm welcome from the staff in reception and the cafe too. Banging breakfast in the refurbished cafe, sets you up for the day. The new shop is a lovely addition to the site, lots of essentials. The facilities are always clean and hot water for washing up. One suggestion would be to please install a water tap by the reception office as its a fair way down to the electric field to find a tap if its cold and wet or dark. Its a really nice walk around the site though, round the lakes, we dont fish but the fisher folk always seem friendly. The motorway road noise has never bothered us, we dont seem to notice it. We highly recommend camping here, we will certainly be back - love it!!! Thanks so much ❤️ ⛺️

Disliked Nothing!

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked This is a site for fishermen but accepts other campers. If you are happy to be on a site which prioritises fishing, it’s great.
You will find a very peaceful site with excellent amenities at a good price.

Disliked Nothing to dislike if you understand what the site is all about

Liked Lovely Park. Fishing 🎣 lake is a pleasant bonus area, you can sit & watch the anglers, which seems a very popular site.
Electric hookup
Showers

Disliked Not a dislike but a observation. The showers need an update ie shower 🚿 heads. Need a shelf or tray where you can place shampoo, soap etc rather than having to place on the shower tray.
Outside wash up area & counters are ok, but really need to clean all the dead insects around the ceiling & walls ☹️

Local attractions

If you’re in the mood for a quiet picnic or woodland stroll, Coombe Abbey Country Park (15 minutes’ drive) is a 500-acre parkland made for whiling away a day outdoors. There’s also a play area, zip lining and climbing forest if the family’s up for an active day. Or you could always try out the angling here too if your break really is all about fishing. Entertaining the kids shouldn’t be too tricky around these parts either. Immerse yourself fully in the medieval world of dungeons, knights and princesses, jousting and falconry with a visit to Warwick Castle (35 minutes). Or scream if you wanna go faster at Drayton Manor Theme Park, home to rollercoasters, Thomas Land and a 15-acre zoo. Animal antics of all kinds are also order of the day at Twycross Zoo (30 minutes).
