The park
Forty-eight pitches, two lakes, and a rule about children.
Lakeside is over 18s only. That single decision is why people come back — no football on the grass at seven in the morning, no queue for the showers, and a lake you can fish in silence.
Phil and Carol have run it that way from the start. Level pitches with 16amp electric, WiFi across the park, a toilet block refurbished to a standard that surprises people, and woodland to walk the dog in. The café does a proper full English from Thursday to Sunday through the season.
- 16amp electric hook-up on every pitch
- WiFi across the whole park
- Toilet block refurbished in 2022
- Secure, enclosed dog field
- Motorhome service point and Elsan
- Café and shop, Thursday to Sunday
- Woodland walks straight off the park
- Off-pitch storage, CCTV and floodlit
The fishing
Two waters. One for patience, one for a proper day's sport.
Kingfisher Lake
The mixed water, and the busier of the two. Fish to eighteen pounds and far more variety — good for a steady day rather than a waiting game.
