Secluded canal-side spot with helpful owners. Great space and local access. Basic facilities, but cramped loos and cold showers noted. Some noise from others.

Really good for the price you pay would stay again.
Electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked Small little campsite with a little park for the kids. A little jetty into the canal. But due to the heatwave it's quite low ATM. Apart from the toilet size the overall experience was good. The owner of the site came round and was very nice he even put our shoes inside when we was out so the rain didn't soak them. He could charge more for a night if the toilets and showers were bigger.
Disliked Toilets are on site and kept clean down side is they could do with a little more leg room. Had to sit sideways and the light weren't working in one of the cubicles.

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked Very helpful owner. We arrived slightly earlier than anticipated but he allowed us on anyway. A great campsite with plenty of pitching space. We didn't really stay much as we were in Blackpool for majority of the weekend but loved when we were onsite.
Nice open fields to stargaze and access to the canal to feed swans.
Messaged owner to inform him of some disrespectful people who had destroyed the toilet and within half an hour he had been and cleaned it. Would book again in the future. We had one electric and one non electric tent.
Disliked Toilets need more room. Extend the door forward as you don't need as much room to wash hands in my opinion but that's all ☺️

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked Loved the little play area/frame in the middle as we have small children so was really handy for when we where setting up and taking everything down, they made loads of friends with the other kids at campsite too which was lovely, wasn’t too loud of a night time, owner came and had a chat when we arrived and explained what was near by, he was lovely! would definitely come again.
Disliked Toilets could do with an upgrade but didn’t bother us too much

Disliked Toilets and showers should be condemned, they are ill conceived, cubicles are far too small with non closing doors and the shower is cold only.
