What customers say
Great for families with loads to do, praised for clean facilities (new loos fab!), friendly staff. Pool & arcades popular. Some mention muddy pitches after rain & noise. Site's being done up, should be even better soon.
Summary AI-generated from Pitchup.com customer reviews




















Not my cup of tea but can see why families like it.
Electric grass pitch
Liked Plenty of food/drink options on site.
Worth a walk into Silloth
Disliked The camping field needs some attention. Pitch very small. No where to sit outside. The pitch was scrub and stones.
Toilets and showers modern but cant cope with the amount of people using them. Despite the best efforts of staff trying to keep on top of the cleaning, they were often dirty. The shower drainage needs addressing as one morning everyone was ankle deep in water.
The holiday park is geared towards children with no entertainment geared towards adults.
People did respect the quiet time after 11pm, shame they didn't respect fellow campers by drowning everyone else's music out with theirs on full blast all day every day.

Good but could be tidier and more organised.
Electric grass pitch
Liked Showers & toilets were great & staff help when I had a problem was good too. Area is lovely, right on the coast so once you’re offsite it’s great. The activities offered were good & food we had good too. Though sometimes difficult to access with dogs
Disliked Touring site is a bit messy. No logic to where people set up with tents/motorhomes/caravans intermingled We didn’t arrive till late and I was told to pick whichever pitch I wanted so I assumed (wrongly) there was plenty of space. It took ages to find one so by the time we did the office was shut and no help to be had. It wasn’t the worse but could’ve been handled better as I had informed them I would be late but I still arrived before the end of the check in time. The site on the whole was disorganised with no clear signs. It looks a bit neglected

I would definitely come back as myself and daughters had a great time.
Electric grass pitch
Liked I liked the holiday park a lot. I found plenty to do and see. The man who allocated my pitch was happy to accommodate my request for a change of pitch too.
Disliked The chippy Big Fish. I went twice as first time was OK but second time was inedible.
The restaurant on site was lovely though.

Okish
Electric grass pitch
Liked Ok park to camp on, basic camp as camping your further away from activities, club house, park and other areas.
Disliked If you’re willing to travel every where then this is the camp for you! Everything you have to travel miles to get to.
Pitches are very well used so lots of w
holes and big dips in the ground. The toilets are ok but could be cleaner. When we stopped a man was cleaning the girls toilets at 7am which ment we couldn’t use them for around half hour which with children was difficult. The showers are ridiculous, there is no where to hang your cloths or get changed. Very small especially if you trying to wash children.

Overall decent stay would stay again
Electric grass pitch
Liked Modern bathroom
Lots of different activities for kids
Feeling like you were on a caravan holiday park instead of just a camp site
Free swimming everyday
Disliked The camp site was more like entering a council estate where people are up making noise till god knows what time (after midnight) with their kids screaming and messing on. Doesn’t seem to be any camp respect for others at night or security around the camp site bit.
Entertainment on a night was more for little little kids and terrible
Although the pizza from the van was nice, I was told it was 12” for 14 pound… it was overpriced and half the size
Activities are expensive

Overall, we really enjoyed our stay and would recommend it to others.
Electric grass pitch
Liked The site was well organised, the staff were helpful and friendly, the facilities were clean and tidy and well maintained, and the Dino Carts were great fun and good value for the price. The fish and chips from the Fishbox were good value and tasty.
Disliked The activities were expensive, the pitches were not checked after previous occupants had left resulting in the dogs trying to eat what had been left behind.
