Sweet place to camp toilets are now renovated and clean with a free hot shower and a 24 hour toilet and shower on the end of public bathrooms . Lovely place to stay . But Friday and Saturday nights can be a bit noisey due to a few boy racers but this is a sometimes thing. However Monday through to Thursday we have not had problems . Dog friendly and the walks are amazing a must stay. U can’t swim in lake .

Free showers, clean bathroom, nice view, there’s not much else you can ask for. The toilet facilities weren’t locked at night and must be new because there was no door to the men or women’s restroom.

Really nice spot! In a carpark with a beautiful big pond, public toilets even with a free shower. The toilets close at night but the family/disabled toilet stayed opened all night. Lots and lots of swans/ducks/geese (scary). Really nice in spring to see all the baby animals

Quiet campsite next to a pretty lake. Not too close to busy roads. Lots of geese and ducks in the morning! Toilets in the car park, however they close at night so make sure you give yourself plenty of time to go. Sign states the time the toilets will close. No dump station

What a loverly place, would have give 10 but for the locals driving in and out into the early hours. Maybe a good spot to stop for lunch and a walk around the lake,toilet are average.
