What customers say
A lovely canalside spot, this spacious campsite earns praise for its friendly owners, flat pitches, and proximity to amenities and walks. Facilities are basic but clean. Some guests noted noise from campers & cold showers. Good value, though rules can be lax & toilets basic.

I would never go again or recommended to anyone else
Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite
Liked Nothing
Disliked Everything. There were big groups on site that were blasting music. There was also music blasting and someone singing from somewhere else. It looked like a travellers camp & sounded like a festival. We stayed for a grand total of 30 minutes before we unanimously decided to leave. £23 wasted but at least we didn’t have to stay. Also tried to call when we arrived as advised on the website & they call couldn’t connect due to bad service

Site too noisy for us
Powered grass travel trailer campsite
Liked Proximity to Glasson docks
Disliked No rules for late night noise. The consequence was loud music and karaoke (with microphones) till 2 in the morning, along with a scary sounding man walking up and down the site shouting and swearing at everyone. It was horrendous and very intimidating.
We won’t be returning as a result, and another couple left the next morning as well as us saying it wasn’t for them.
A real shame as otherwise it worked for what we needed, but I needed some sleep!

If you want to stay somewhere for your kids to run around screaming
Primitive grass travel trailer campsite
Liked The campsite was flat, with toilets and water access.
Disliked Most flies ever come across at any campsite, all very stung today.
We had young children, which were in bed trying to sleep from 9. No one could sleep due to the screaming of kids running round and using torches. This went on past midnight.
Toilets very cramped and lots of damp which was coming through the chip board
No warm water.

Overall, enjoyed our stay in a good location and exceptional weather
Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite
Liked Location, the space and the beautiful weather. Host was also very friendly and kept the toilets clean, I was dreading the early morning toilet rush but needn't have worried.
Disliked There are no rules about late night music but the worst of it was young kids running around, screaming and shouting until we'll after midnight playing in the middle of the field. I know speaking to other campers and those with young families this was an issue and off putting. Also, the site was busy, full in fact, but it seemed that parking cars and setting up tents, gazebos was a bit of a free for all and could have been organised better, or clearer guidelines.

Relaxed campsite.Pick where to park & set up. Will visit again.
Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite
Liked Great location with easy access to the canal. Great for using our paddle boards and even a lovely place for a swim. Loved watching the swans, ducks and other birds on the water. Relaxed campsite. Easy arrival/check in.
Disliked Unfortunately not all campers were considerate of others. Children running around and screaming gone 12am. It was the screaming that was annoying.
