Bell tent
Liked: Friendly, welcoming staff and warm welcome upon arrival. Beautiful views. Very clean, well equipped and comfy bed. Bonus that everybody is not ontop of each other, very well spread out. Pizza bar and boat bar was excellent in the evening.
Disliked: Lack of proper shower/wash facilities but we only stayed one night so didn't bother us.
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Thank you for the positive review! We're delighted you enjoyed our friendly staff, beautiful views, and comfy accommodation. We appreciate your feedback about the shower facilities and their are due to be updated in the near future. We hope to see you again soon!

Fully-serviced grass motorhome site
Liked: Location is great with views of the marina and the canal boats travelling by on the canal. Food in the cafeteria was good hot and well presented and reasonable price. Dogs allowed and doggy was treated to a cooked sausage by the staff which was rather sweet. Staff were friendly on site and informative. Good for overnight stop.
Disliked: For site which caters for a number of people toilets and showers were in short supply unless you count porta loos dotted around. The showers and toilet rear of cafeteria also lacked hand wash and had a distinct bad odour about them.

From the manager: Thank you for sharing your experience with us! We're glad to hear you enjoyed the picturesque location, tasty cafeteria food, and the thoughtful gesture towards your furry friend. We appreciate your feedback regarding the restroom facilities. Due to our toilets being connected to the on site waste treatment plant, at certain periods there can be a slight odour. Rest assured, we have taken note of your comments and are actively working to improve the situation. Additionally, we want to inform you that there are three full-flushing toilets available in the main building, and we have also installed four outdoor heated showers across the site for your convenience. We hope to welcome you back for an even better experience in the future!
Very good

Liked: Love this site. We received a warm welcome upon arrival and then enjoyed a lovely relaxing evening. The pizza van and bar are great and there was a friendly atmosphere amongst staff and customers. Pizzas also delicious! The site is well organised and in a very pretty spot. We'll be back again soon!

Unpowered grass tent site
Liked: The owner and staff were so lovely! They made the atmosphere relaxed and friendly and went out of their way to be fun and helpful with the kids! The area is beautiful. You have your own designated space, the grass is cut into areas so each pitch is slightly separate. The tiny pub was cute!
Disliked: The only negative I would say is the onsite cafe was quite expensive. £4 for 2 slices of toast. But that is completely optional of course.

Unpowered grass tent site
Liked: The best camp site I’ve ever stayed on! We wanted a weekend break for all the extended family; grandparents, parents and grandchildren and hoped a first attempt at a whole family camping would be a success. It certainly was, thanks to the excellent facilities, tranquil surroundings (apart from the planes, which prompted much plane recognition!) and helpful staff. Our request for pitches together was honoured, a huge space with room for three tents and the ‘gathering’ tent. Easy access to toilets and washing facilities so the children could be independent, safe fields for them to walk and play rounders in, an easy walk to cafe, shop, showers and toilet block. A great pizza truck and barge bar, helpful staff who transported all the gear from cars to pitch so no cars necessary and well maintained mown pathways within lovely wild grass divisions between tent pitches. We all had a super stay at Oakwood and hope to come again soon.
Disliked: Nothing other than planes at nightfall but guess Oakwood can’t do much about them. We quickly got used to the sound.
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Thank you for your lovely review! We're delighted to hear that your family had such a great time at Oakwood. It sounds like you all had a blast enjoying the spacious pitches, exploring the tranquil surroundings, and making the most of our helpful staff. We're glad we could make your family camping experience a success! It means a lot to us that you appreciated the little details like the pizza truck and barge bar. We can't wait to welcome you all back for another memorable stay soon!
