What customers say
Peaceful canalside site, level pitches with water/electric. Marina walks, handy pub nearby. Generally friendly staff. Showers/toilets usually clean but a bit of a trek & dated. WiFi patchy. Approach road has potholes.

It was ok.
Unpowered gravel caravan site
Liked Staff were friendly
Location to Lichfiled was great
Pitches were clear and clean
Directions were clear
Plenty of bins
Disliked Check in times state 2pm to 5pm, rushed to get there for 5pm but it didnt seem to matter as we got a text anyway and others turned up much later.
Bit overpriced for what it was.
Quite a run down marina.
Showers/toilet not seperated so trying to get access to a toilet in the morning when everyone is showering was a pain.

Not value for money, poor site
Fully-serviced gravel caravan site
Liked Peaceful
Disliked Not enough information given on arrival not very helpful receptionist, when we found our pitch after being given wrong directions we expected a fully serviced pitch that we had paid for, (ehu water and grey water waste) it was impossible to find the grey water waste drain on our pitch, the showers and toilets are shared by campers and boaters so not enough to cater for all, showers and toilets are a long way from the pitches. The Elson point was dirty with a hose that dangled in the bowl. All in all not worth the money that we paid, I have stayed in better CL sites and paid less.

Poorly maintained walkway lighting spoiling a great site
Unpowered gravel caravan site
Liked Consistently clean washrooms
Good value for money
Disliked Lighting still not fixed on walkways from non-electric pitches to washrooms. Only one of eleven lights functioning and that one is only solar powered. All the ten main's powered ones are damaged and not working and have been for some time

It’s ok for a stay over but certainly don’t expect a lot.
Fully-serviced gravel caravan site
Liked Location.
Narrow boats at the marina.
The trees between the pitches.
Disliked Huge gravel stones which meant getting awning up was difficult.
Constant noise from road and railway line.
Only 2 toilets and showers, constantly busy.
Felt very unsafe with leaving items at the pitch while we went out. Stayed 1 night out of the 2.
Lots of rude people around that owned narrow boats. We didn’t feel welcome.
We had access to our own water and electric but couldn’t find the waste water.
Not very disabled friendly.
No real lighting around the area.
