What customers say
A lovely canalside location, this spacious campsite is praised for its friendly and helpful owners, flat pitches, and proximity to local amenities and walks. Facilities are basic but generally clean. Some visitors experienced noise issues from other campers and noted the cold showers. While generally good value, occasional reports of limited rules enforcement and basic toilet facilities exist.

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked Good level pitch, toilets were very clean and well stocked. Nice location by the canal. Ian was friendly and greeted us when we arrived. Fire pits are allowed which is a bonus. Didn’t have a kayak/paddle board but that would be a good thing to do with the canal. A nice stay overall.
Disliked Luck of the draw really but first night noisy family music and chatting until the small hours very little sleep. 2nd night families much more considerate of other campers. Not a criticism though just the way it is during the busier times of year I’m sure. Adjacent to a working farm too so early wake up call- so not much chance of over sleeping!

Enjoyable weekend with y family
Non-electric grass touring pitch
Liked Just returned home after 3 night stay - being truthful I only read the reviews AFTER we had booked and paid - was not really looking forward to it as there seemed to be some bad reviews - However, we were greeted by the owner, very nice man who told us where every was and how to get to the dock side - The toilet block looked a bit off putting but after entering was pleasantly surprised - toilets were clean, had lighting, toilet paper and paper towels put in daily - the toilet/disposal units for your own chemical seemed to be checked everyday too - plenty of bin space for your rubbish - the field (grass was short) was looked after - the families that were camping while we were there seemed friendly and respectful - no one running round fields at god knows what time and no loud music that went on into the night - small kids swing in middle of field and plenty of room for kiddies to run around and play safety - only down fall was lack of hot water
Disliked Not disliked but
lack of hot water - was a pain boiling water to wash pots.
Toilet cubicles, although clean the cubicles lacked space, had to stand to the side of toilet to get in and then your knees were against the door
