Location and Environment

Pros:

• "It's also set right next to the river Nene and therefore makes it a great camping place to start your kayaking adventures from (kayaks can also be hired)."

• "The campsite is nice but the views are a little compromised by all the permanent mobile homes."
• "Riverside pitch views of lake spoilt by mounds of topsoil, builders rubble in front of lake."
• "The site is gradually being overtaken by so many ugly mobile homes as to render it a blot on the landscape rather than the waterside idyll it once was."
• "The over-expansion of holiday homes makes this feel more like a trailer park now than a campsite."
• "The camping area is in the middle of a building site and is pretty unattractive."
