Designed to keep camping simple yet fun, guests have a choice of grass or hardstanding pitches, catering to tents, caravans and motorhomes. There is also a choice of secluded pitches situated within the woodland here, made for tents only, and each enjoying their own unique spot on site. Woodland pitches are situated within the forest between the fishing lakes and main camping area here, and feature their own fire pit plus a picnic bench fit for the whole family. A bundle of wood for the fire is also provided on arrival. Additional pitches available in the overflow camping meadow during the summer months.
