Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked: The scenery

Disliked: Booked for 3 nights and left after 1 night. Misleading information and photos. No Rules, No Security, No Proper Management. Last minute advised that 500 campers attending venue on bank holiday weekend. Loud venue music until 11.30pm. Venue spread over 3 fields. 1st field is the only field that has drinking water and other washing facilities. 2nd & 3rd fields full of ruts, craters, high grass and grassed over mole hills. Flat areas only near hedgerows and riverside. Inconsiderate loud/rowdy unruly stoned drunkards. Unsupervised thieving feral kids being destructive and intrusive with appalling verbal diarrhoea vocabulary. Mal-functioning Portaloos not cleaned or emptied regularly. Fire Assembly Points with Empty emergency water and vandalised extinguishers. Extortionate Food & Drink Prices. Not enough riverside warning signs or safety equipment. Large queues queuing for showers, 2 sinks and 1 drinking water tap.

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked: - really beautiful site, next to a stream. - kids loved playing in the water - good facilities - quiet monday-wednesday stay

Disliked: - kids activities / bar / restaurant not open early week. I had figured as it was summer holidays there wouldn't be such a weekend / weekday divide, but I was wrong - above not entirely clear on pitchup - it does, however, mean it's very quiet early in the week which has its own advantages

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked: This was our second trip to Wild Canvas Camping. We had a fabulous time, swimming in the river, making crafts in the Den, eating yummy, local ice cream and delicious burgers from The Brothers' van, listening to music, playing games in the wide open spaces, making friends. Great showers, clean toilets, lots of space, great atmosphere.

Disliked: Nothing!

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked: Everything ..the space ..the river to play in with the kids ..the peace and quiet. Such a great place to just unwind and relax and having 3 young kids it was even better not to have to worry about cars coming and going so they could run around with out any worries. Personal I think one of the best parts to this site is the river access. We played in the river all day and the kids lived it .

Local attractions

If you're planning a longer stay at Wild Canvas Camping, you might want to plan a few excellent days out. Get off to a flying start with a day of wildlife watching at Woburn Safari Park (half an hour's drive) or Whipsnade Zoo (50 minutes). The Dunstable Downs (50 minutes) are down south should you fancy a day of hiking, although there are plenty of opportunities for a lighter stroll in Harrold Odell Country Park (five minutes) if you don't feel like driving too far from base. Outings with a more historic edge can be had at the gorgeous 35-acre Castle Ashby Gardens (15 minutes) or learning about the fascinating story of the World War II codebreakers at Bletchley Park (half an hour). On the flip side, if you're looking for somewhere that will keep the kids happy, head to Gullivers Dinosaur and Farm Park (25 minutes) to meet pigs, sheep, donkeys and (models of) dinosaurs. Ride Leisure (35 minutes) has an inflatable water park for a good bit of adventure. On damp days, however, Milton Keynes (25 minutes) is the place to go for indoor karting, climbing and Snozone snow activities.
