What visitors say
We brought our new Motorhome (7.5m) A Class for a stay of 3 nights. Good sized pitches, toilets and showers were really, really clean and the staff are really genuinely friendly, lovely people. Great walks for the dog around the lake, a wee walk through the woods on the trails for the adventurous guys will have you returning to your van feeling very relaxed. 😉 We had no issues with the bit of noise from the Motorway, it really isn’t that bad. All in all, a quality site, with lovely, helpful staff.

If you need a campsite just off the motorway, this is perfect. You can hear the motorway traffic. Across from the site there is a perfect off the lead walk for dogs, but I only knew his because of the reviews. Never actually saw a warden, it was a fast track process for getting onto the site, and you text your pitch number back, not a friendly approach imho. This is fine if you have been before, but if you haven’t then you are left wandering around the site trying to find what you need. Please note, there is only one facilities block open. So dont pitch up near the closed one if you near to be close to the loos! The facilities that are open, are spotless.
