Glasson Dock Campsite

Líbí se: The pitches were very flat, and the price of the site was reasonable. Location wise, being on the canal is great and the local area although small was pleasant to walk around. In the evenings the sites seemed to be fairly quiet.

Nelíbí se: The kayak launch point could do with some TLC or a small jetty installing. We had to drive to another launch to avoid treading through 4 feet of silt to get to the water.

Líbí se: We arrived and the nice helpful chap gave us an overview of the site facilities. It’s a basic site but ideally suited for access to Glasson Dock, the canal and local shops.

Nelíbí se: If you fall into one of the following demographics then this site is ideal when the weather is sunny:
1. You are a twenty year old man boy but in reality you are an eleven year old. You love your football and don’t care who knows it. If it hits your friend’s car repeatedly then that’s just funny. You also love your hoody and swearing loudly.
2. It’s your first time camping, and you have silk sheets. You also used to be a member of the Sea Cadets, but only for five weeks. This is something you need to tell your friends and half of the campsite every hour or so in between cackling like a witch and attempting introductory Karaoke at volume 11.
3. When you retire to bed for the early morning, you spend 10 minutes saying goodbye to your friends who will be less than 10m away and then proceed to complain how cold it is, despite it being a warm night.
4. You like staying up late and leaving no awkward conversational gaps (volume 11 again).
5. You like speaking / shouting / cackling to like minded people you’ve never met before especially after midnight.
6. You’re uncomfortable with periods of silence. These are to be avoided lest you realise how you are perceived by others.
7. You love kicking a football around and playing Justin Bieber interspersed with any tune with your favourite bass line. You’ve selected your Bluetooth speaker to maximise the low frequency section of each track so that the entire campsite can hear it, cos that’s the best part! You absolutely love falling asleep to Justin Bieber and chums with the music still at 11. When people shine a 2000 lumen headlight through your tent wall, and gently suggest you switch the music off at 3:30am, this is just part of the camping experience to be ignored whilst you are passed out. That is until you experience ‘Screaming Man’ from Spotify’s Annoying Noises playlist at level 12,Thank you, Spotify!
I was a bit disappointed that Blackout Crew’s Put a Donk on It, didn’t feature on anyone’s playlist. That would have elevated things a little.

Líbí se: Great campsite, owner was very helpful and outgoing. He was constantly roaming around the site checking people in and answering questions people had. Clean water on site, toilets nice and clean and showers were great although they were cold is was still very refreshing. Enough space to choose from for your pitch, will definitely be returning.

Access to the canal from the actual campsite which is amazing, so don’t forget your paddle boards/kayaks etc. Pubs etc close walk on other side of canal.

Nelíbí se: Nowt.

Loved that we could have a fire as many places now don’t allow fires
Friendly

Nelíbí se: Toilets are quite small and no washing up facilities as there is no hot water on site but I knew this when I booked and it did not stop us from enjoying our stay :)

Líbí se: Location

Nelíbí se: Noisy as groups staying together playing loud music late on, shouting and swearing. Campsite rules not being applied as dogs including some large intimidating ones off lead and owner constantly unaware of their whereabouts. No toilet roll on last evening/morning in gents or ladies.

Líbí se: Absolutely loved this campsite. It was our first time here and we will definitely be back.. the lake is fab for paddle boards and kayaks kids loved it!

Nelíbí se: The only downfall I’d say is the no one asking up station. It just makes it abit tricky
