What a great place to camp and relax, be it in a group or a couple. Facilities excellent and plenty for the kids to amuse themselves. Don’t forget your bikes. Woodland playpark a must to tire the kids out and get their imagination working like the “olden days”.

We spent the whole day here whilst the kids were playing. They had a great time and we think it’s a really good idea as well. We are interested in the camping as well.

This park is great fun – even for teenagers who let their guard down for the day! There are loads of things to slide on, jump off, and climb and there are assault courses for a bit of competition. The highlight was the lake with a large pirate ship in the middle and ropes to swing on.
