The site is run by Brian and Mary Malin, and their two sons Thomas and Matthew.

Two fields for Caravans and a large overspill field for tents in the busy periods. The lake field has only 14 electric hook-ups and is very popular so its best to book this field in season.

The other field has about 50 electric hook-ups.

They have now added a Bar/Dining Room to the amenities and the beer prices are cheaper than the Sawmill Pub at end of site and also cheaper than the Globe which is about a quarter of a mile up the hill into Berrynarbor village. As I understand it the two pubs are owned by the same family.

The site is set in a south facing valley and is surrounded by trees so once the sun rises its with you all day.

A small trout stream runs through the park and services the lake with a steady throughput of water. The lake has a central island which is where the Carp tend to swim. It holds about 25 pegs and is accessible for the disabled.

Fishing is very mixed with lots of silver fish, plenty of Bream and Roach to be caught on red maggot and corn, quality Roach in the evening on casters and a few small Tench can be caught close in on corn or meat. Golden Orfe to 4lb can be caught over by the island and are partial to casters and luncheon meat. Carp very shy and only two or three per week seem to get caught though they are usually doubles.

Tickets half price for campers . Shop stocks a bit of tackle and ground bait. All in all a great site which we have been visiting for 9-10 years and will be back again.
