Lakeland Caravan Park Reviews

Very poor

We have just left this site after 2 nights which couldn't have been worse. Our pitch was literally on the edge of the stony road into the tent field and on the edge of the small car park which was littered with broken glass. The shower and toilet facilities are the worst we have ever experienced. Toilets with no lids and dirty when we arrived. Tiny sinks with no hand drying facilities or any sides to put a toiletry bag. Two showers which were appalling. A press button control which only allowed the water to stay on for seconds. In one shower, a circular metal drain in the floor was broken in half - I was honestly terrified my young daughter's foot would slip through this. There is nowhere to put toiletries, towel or clothes. The only drinking water points are in the caravan field, so campers have to walk around to this field for both the toilet block and fresh water. The Elsan point was literally an uncovered hole in the ground surrounded by a small wooden frame with no flushing; this was next to the jerrycan fill point. The site was dirty, littered with rubbish, old socks and drink bottles. The beach is only a short walk away and our children were so excited to go. The walkway up to the beach was filthy - dog mess, beer bottles, cans, clothing and nappies. The beach itself was no better. Our daughter fished out plastic bags from the sea and we cleared dog mess, abandoned socks and other rubbish before we were able to sit and try to enjoy the afternoon. Back at our tent, things were no better. The language and noise from a group of young lads set the tone. A family group opposite our tent was incredibly noisy until almost midnight, leaving our 4 under 9s unable to sleep and extremely tired the next day. The owner did speak to them the next day and they were quiet the next night. Another tent opposite ours had a family with two young children, and a parent with the foulest mouth we've ever heard. I left with our children after two nights with my husband following the next day after packing up. If I could have selected zero stars I would have.

Site's response

Hi, I am so sorry this was not for you, I think some of what you said is unfair. The rubbish is emitted daily, the toilets are given a full clean 3 times a day and checked. The showers are safe, and there are at least 12 sinks in the toilets. I can't help rubbish on paths and the beach, which is nothing to do with me. If we have a complaint about noise, I always go and tell the people, and in the past I have asked people to leave. I also most nights come back and check the site for noise when we are full. I litter-pick the site daily and try and make sure people have a nice stay. Sorry that you did not.

Beautiful peaceful campsite

Lovely campsite, friendly staff and very peaceful. Short walk to attraction. Could do with some more toilets in camping field, and maybe a small shop that sells milk and bread ect the basic would definitely stay again.

Amazing!

Absolutely friendly and helpful staff. Everything was amazing, close distance to the beach. The only minus is not having any cafe in the side.

2 night stay

Was okay, disappointed that the only toilets were on the other side near the caravans. Also, no tap for water where you were camping and had to walk to the caravan park. Would have been nice for a local shop or café on site. Was nice and close to the beach.

Basic with good location

Basic site with no onsite cafe. Toilets and showers kept clean. Very good location. Will visit again.

Billie the dog first holiday

Lakeland Caravan Park

Lovely little campsite, close to the beach and the sea, perfect for families looking for a beach holiday on a surprisingly quiet beach. Campsite basic but has toilet and shower area which is kept clean. Enjoyed a 3 night getaway with the grandchildren who had a fantastic few days. Would recommend the campsite.

Good

Good site if you like fishing .easy access to the beach. the fishing shop has everything you need

Weekend stay at Lakeland

Great location, nice campsite, friendly and helpful staff. Downsides were the distance of the toilets and showers from those camping in tents, quite a trek especially if you need to go during the night. There are only 2 showers, which were a bit grubby, and the water only stays on for 5 seconds at a time. Nowhere to dry your hands after using the toilets. There is a huge fishing shop but it would be great if it also stocked drinks, snacks etc. Overall, a nice stay and we would definitely return.

Great little holiday

Me and my family took a camping trip for the weekend, and couldn't have enjoyed it more. Nice pitch sizes and really close to the beach. Only a 20-minute walk to Fantasy Island theme park too which was a great day out for our son. Will definitely be returning again. Would highly recommend.

First time there.

Me and my family have just spent three nights at Lakeland and really enjoyed it. If you love fishing, its a perfect place for you, with a great fishing tackle shop there. It's a great base camp and the beach is minutes away and you can either walk to Ingoldmells or drive. It's a fair walk to Chapel/Trunch Lane if you have walking disabilities along a long drive, I have walking difficulties, so five/ten mins in the car. The toilets/shower block is only a few mins walk and was cleaned at least twice a day.

Nice, clean site

Booked this site due to the location which was close to the beach. Friendly approachable staff. Plenty of space for our large tent and car. Toilet, shower and washing up facilities kept very clean. The only thing against this site is the facilities block was a long way from the camping field. Maybe a cut through the bank to the toilet block would be better thank walking all the way around especially at night when it is dark. That said, the site is well lit when dark. All in all a very enjoyable stay 🙂

Good site, clean facilities, close to beach

Good site, clean facilities, close to lovely beach (walking distance). We were meant to be having two grandchildren with us but, sadly, family circumstances meant they weren't able to join us. My husband and I enjoyed lots of time chilling out (we had a lovely view of one of the fishing lakes), doing a jigsaw and reading. The only thing that spoiled our stay (not massively, and not the fault of the site management) was the behaviour of some of the other campers. There were quite a few late evenings, when we had gone to bed earlyish (10:30 to 11:00) but couldn't sleep because of loud music and very loud conversations. We felt it was rather antisocial - and not what we expect from other campers. We would highly recommend this site though.

Lovely site close to the beach

Very friendly staff and fellow campers. Close to the beach and great for our dogs. Short walk to the local restaurants, pubs and amusements for the kids.

Lovely, little campsite

Nice, little campsite, it wasn't too busy when we went, so we could pick where we wanted to pitch. Staff friendly and helpful. Clean facilities. Would recommend.

Great place to stay

Great campsite, set out nicely, shower and toilet facilities a great standard.

Lovely site

Myself my husband and Loki (our bulldog) enjoyed our stay at Lakeland. The site was quiet and extremely clean.

Had a great time

Had a great time lovely location and will be booking again .Will also recommend this site to family and friends. Thank you 😊

Great bank holiday weekend

Add a great stay at Lakeland with wife and son was made very welcome by staff and had great facilities on site and close by, will be book for Aug summer bank holiday too.

Excellent campsite!

The staff are very helpful and friendly. The site is very clean and tidy and the toilets and showers were spotless. There is a barrier onto and off the site, which you get a fob for for a £10 refundable deposit. It is a fantastic location, only 5 minutes walk to the beach and 15/20 minutes walk into Ingoldmells, which is all flat. The site is quiet and very friendly and we will definitely book again.
