What customers say
This is a well-maintained and spacious campsite located next to the Grand Union Canal and a pub. Visitors praise the friendly and helpful staff, clean facilities including showers, and the generous pitch sizes. The location is ideal for canal walks and visiting local attractions. Some noise from a nearby road and railway line is mentioned, and while most found it non-disruptive, lighter sleepers might consider this. Access arrangements and signage on arrival have occasionally caused minor confusion.
Summary AI-generated from Pitchup.com customer reviews




















Great little site on the canal but it is noisy at night from the train
Electric gravel touring pitch
Liked The site is really large and open and clean. The bathrooms have individual toilets, showers and sinks. The site is adjacent to the canal and there is a fantastic pub a short walk away.
Disliked There are no washing facilities for clothes et cetera. The site is right next to the main road and really close to a main line train route. If you are noise sensitive either bring earplugs or choose somewhere else as the trains run almost through the night and when there is no other noise, you will hear them.
