Liked: It's a very nice little site that is well-kept. It's near to the canal and has a pub with a lovely beer garden (on the canal) next door. There are lots of shops within a 7-minute if you need anything (Aldi, B and M, Tesco, McDonald's, KFC) as well as Leighton Buzzard's old town. The staff on the site were nice and helpful.
Disliked: Road and helicopter noise, but nothing that spoilt our stay.

Liked: Lovely location next to the Grand union canal, which is acceptable from the campsite. Toilet and shower facilities are very clean and tidy and are very spacious. Excellent base to explore the surrounding area. Added plus there is a lovely pub next door that does great food.
Disliked: Could do with more washing up facilities.

Liked: Lovely location and great facilities. Stayed here one night to visit Bletchley Park and Whipsnade Zoo. Perfect location for both. Good number of very clean showers and toilets, and water on every pitch. Woukd definately stay here again. Enjoyed walking along the canal and seeing the boats, and the pub close by was nice for a drink and to watch the canal. Didn't eat there but the menu looked nice.

Liked: The canal nearby was nice and across to the pub. Check in was easy and access to the towpath gate was given
Disliked: The site is next to a very busy road, traffic was loud through the day and night. Bathrooms were very cold with an open roof space across all stalls. The elson point was a long distance away from the pitches, making it a challenge to carry casettes across the park on rocky paths.

Liked: Low-key campsite by Grand Union Canal. Facilities with ample hot water, clean (despite very wet campsite grounds due to inclement weather).
Disliked: Not really a dislike as such but be aware that the mainline railway and freight line is close enough to be heard from the campsite pitches; as is the neighbouring B488 which has a junction with the A4146. Road & train traffic noise decreases substantially after evening rush-hour (road) and later in the evening (train) and didn't disturb us. Lighter sleepers may want to bring ear-plugs but be reassured if you arrive between 4pm to 6pm that the apparently 'noisy' environment will substantially quieten down for the evening.
