What customers say
Chill spot by the canal, great location near Glasson Dock. Owner's a legend! Spacious site, good for water sports. Basic but clean facilities, though showers can be chilly and loos a bit cosy. Mind the occasional noisy neighbour.

Great location. Cheap. Facilities could do with upgrading
Powered grass caravan site
Liked Great location. Tucked away nicely from the main road. Owner came over for a chat which was a nice touch.
Disliked Toilet facilities could do with upgrading from those built for Warwick Davis!
Site could do with some rules regarding quiet times! Kids running around screaming at 10:30pm round our pitch and twice tripping over our electric hook up ripping it out of the box!

Liked Me and my family absolutely love this place. We go every year and are already excited to book in and go again next year. The area is beautiful, the people are lovely and we have met so many lovely people over the years during our camping there. I recommend it to everyone who mentions camping. It's lovely and quiet making it super friendly for SEN families like ours.
Disliked My only dislike that is that it isnt open past september. I would love to book in the October half term and spend a few nights under the stars with my children over the autumn nights would be magical.
