3.5/5
Decent campsite, if a little over-priced.
There are some lovely pitches with a view of the lake but these are all booked a long time in advance. For everyone else, you get squeezed into plots which are close together with no privacy. Due to the location, we also found that it got very cold overnight here too, even needed extra blankets and a warm hat in our van during summer! Very good amenities though, would possibly stay again.

4.0/5
Very welcoming and clean campsite.
Good amount of room for each pitch on the whole, and hedging provides some privacy. Amenities aren't ground-breaking but are pretty good. One minor issue is that the shower/loo block appears to be a breeding ground for mosquitos - literally hundreds of them. Could do with one of those blue light things to kill them off. Would definitely stay here again.
