What customers say
This well-maintained campsite offers peaceful surroundings next to a marina and canal, with a convenient location for exploring Lichfield and local attractions. Visitors frequently praised the friendly and helpful staff, clean facilities (especially showers), and spacious, level pitches. The proximity to a highly-rated canal-side pub was also a significant plus. Some minor drawbacks mentioned included dated shower blocks, occasional noise from nearby roads/trains, and a deposit for facility keys. Improvements in pitch drainage and bin management were noted by some.

Average site suitable fur overnight stop
Fully-serviced gravel touring pitch
Liked Location great for links to A38 very peaceful location with individual hedged pitches
Disliked Site didnt look onto marina as in pictures, toilets were unisex and albeit clean were very old fashioned and uninviting and a £20 deposit needed to be paid girl access. Caravan site itself appears to be an after thought with just a row of pitches, water connections were poor and leaked. Ok for an overnight stay

Overall the site was lovely access isn’t too bad.
Fully-serviced gravel touring pitch
Liked Size of pitch, friendly staff, showers and toilet facilities were exceptionally clean. Quiet area, Good for a relax, hardly any road noise.
Disliked No barrier on the entrance for security, the office was locked until around 11am so couldn’t check out. If you want an early check out you will need to call in advance.
Fully serviced pitch but the Grey waste goes into the hedge. Would be good to be reminded that the £20 deposit for the key needs to be in cash otherwise it takes 3-5 days for a refund.

Could be really nice, just needs attention to details.
Non-electric gravel touring pitch
Liked Flat level pitches with good access.
Disliked Pitch hadnt had any maintenance, What should of been grass was full of stingers, toilet paper, a full milk carton and an old camping chair.
We collected all of the toilet paper to stop the dogs eating it, but the milk and camping chair was still there when we left!
