We had a fabulous time making full use of the local area, especially enjoyed swimming and paddleboarding on the lake. Big campsite with good-sized pitches, plenty of facilities, good boulangerie on site, plus well-stocked shop, lovely pizzas and ice cream. Close to town with supermarket and other shops.

We had a great time at this campsite. The location of our campsite was close to everything. The lake is lovely. Our only issue was with the toilets - they often needed to be cleaned. The amenities block in general needs to be renovated, and it would be good to have separate male and female toilets, with a more active cleaning team.

Lake is fantastic, not too cold (we went start of July) and perfect for swimming and watersports. We took our paddle boards and had a great time. Toilet blocks are fine, always hot water and enough space for everyone. Tent was in good condition, Rent a Tent gave us a BBQ to use as well as a Skotel. Pizza, burgers, chips are tasty enough on the site...and the ice-cream shop is amazing! Bakery on site for decent pastries and bread every morning. Our kids (4 and 8) loved dancing with the campsite mascot, Mr Challee, every week night. Other entertainment was decent enough. No issues with late night noise etc.
