We found this site ideal, lovely peaceful settings surrounded by lakes,the pitched were well spaced apart with a small hedge for extra privacy. There are 2 public houses a short stroll away. There is ample toilet blocks and are immaculate. Well stocked shop on the site and the staff are brilliant, very friendly and helpful. Lovely play area for children too. We loved it so much we are going back in 2 weeks. I would highly recommend Cosgrove.

This site really does meet all expectations. We had a lovely pitch, right on the edge of one of the 12 lakes. The pool was clean, warm and had very good lifeguards. The children's playground was excellent. The shop was very well stocked and not any dearer than your average corner shop. The on-site restaurant was of a very high standard, cooking a fab cooked breakfast. The toilet and shower blocks were spotless and the water was always piping hot. Although the site is huge it still manages to be peaceful. There is ample wildlife, and some lovely areas to walk. I'd thoroughly recommend it. SATNAV WARNING: when arriving in Cosgrove Village unless you're an expert at three point turns on a postage stamp IGNORE your satnav and follow the campsite signs to the camp. We followed the satnav and put our driving/towing skills through the ultimate challenge!

Just got back from May Day bank holiday at Cosgrove. It's a huge site, very nicely kept and well laid out. Good size pitches with low hedges in between. Nice toilet and shower block, but hot water was a bit hit and miss as it was very busy. Huge childrens play area, boating and fishing lakes, nice takeaway and shop. Friendly helpful staff, we had a problem with the electric and they came to our pitch within 5 minutes.
Milton Keynes is 10 minutes drive away, with plenty of shops & places to eat. Gullivers Kingdom is worth a visit if you have little ones in your party! All in all, a good place to visit, we would definitely go back!

We stayed at Cosgrove Park twice last year for long weekends, even though we only live 12 miles away. But you could easily have been 200 miles away from home. Perfect for all the attractions and shopping of Milton Keynes centre with it only being about 4 miles away by road.
Despite the park having a lot of seasonal touring caravans on site, these understandably taking most of the lakeside plots. Activity in the park didn't ever seem over busy, despite there being a lots of touring caravans surrounding the numerous lakes, plus an equal number of park homes in their own areas. Children could safely be left to play in almost any area. There is an excellent dedicated play area with all the various swings and climbing frames any child could want.
Ample toilet facilities, water supply points and waste disposal points. Also, there is a brand new general supplies shop with fishing tackle shop included for 2008. All in all, as you can probably tell, we like it. A park that is clean and tidy, has very friendly/helpful staff, is well controlled yet very welcoming. In fact, we liked it so much we have taken a seasonal lakeside pitch for this 2008 season. The advantage being that we can still take the caravan off site whenever we wish and we have winter storage included. Can't ask for much more than that.

This is a large site and most things have already been said, I would agree that the showers needed curtains, you need to put your clothes in a cxarrier bag so that they don't get wet, there also needed to be more hooks, o.h. Said there weren't any in the mens, and a shelf to put shampoo e.t.c. On, had to put it on the floor
Though the site is large, it was very quiet the only thing that kept us awake was the birds who seemed to think that it was daytime 24 hours because the site is so well lit.
The pitches we were on were very close to the road and didn't seem to be very deep, most of the better pitches seemed to have been taken by seasonal vans of which there were a lot, which in my view made you feel a little as though you were intruding.
There is a lot to see and do on this site and there is quite a large area around the lakes to walk the dog.
The waterways museum is not far away at Stoke Bruerne, you can walk from the site along the canal but it is a few miles. The museum gives you all the history of the canals and local area and outside there are all the brightly painted narrow boats where people are only to pleased to talk to you and some will even show you around. There is a gift shop cafe and a couple of pubs right on the river.
Though we enjoyed the weekend I don't think I would go here again as we like smaller sites.

This site is easy to find, but you may feel that you are going the wrong way depending on which way you are coming in from, as it takes you through a narrow village, very twisty and turny, not good if you have a caravan on the back.
However upon arriving at the site, we were greeted by a friendly lady on reception, who checked us in quickly and efficiently. We also booked use of the Wi_Fi network £10 for a weeks unliminted usage.
This site is very regimented in the sense that it is roadways all the way round with marked pitches, seperated by small bushes. Pitch sizes are ok and we found we had plenty of space for the caravan, awning, car, table and four chairs.
There are lots of toilet blocks on this site, however the one I used, nearest the childrens playarea, had no locks on any of the doors, so using them was rather more difficult than it should have been. The showers were ok, however by simply putting in shower curtains would get rid of the wet clothes and towel when you step out! Other than those gripes they were clean and kept tidy.
There is plenty for the kids to do, with an outdoor swimming pool, huge play area, plenty of fishing lakes, boating lakes, cycling, walking , playing fields and general chilling out, my kids were non stop the whole time.
The fishing lakes, according to the friends I was with, were useless, they sat there for hours and did not catch a thing, four of them bored and fed up. After two days of nothing, they decided to jump in the car and head to some decent lakes about 20 minutes away. There is a great tackle shop on-site and the guy running it knows his stuff.
There is a large shop on-site selling all your everyday essentials and for a larger shop there is an Asda about 10 minutes away. There is a cafe on site, although I did not eat there.
This site is located near Milton Keynes, so good if you are going to a concert or want to go skiing or shopping, Milton Keynes is a fab shopping tiwn with Centre MK and so much more.
There is no pub on-site and I did not venture to any in the area, however there is one, about 500 yards from the site entrance.
the Wi-Fi signal was poor in the pitch we were on and would not work if we sat in the caravan, so had to work in the awning, not ideal but got the job done.
There is a very strict 11pm no-noise rule, which the security enforced as they drove continuosly around the site.
Would I go again, yes definitely, £20 a night though, but this site is all singing all dancing. A few simply updates, locks on toilet doors and shower curtains and this site would be spot on!
