What customers say
Great spacious site, level pitches by the canal & pub. Clean individual shower/toilets. Near Bletchley Park. Downsides: road/rail noise, some dated facilities/waste points.

Powered grass caravan site
Liked Great park and pitches. Friendly staff. Nice canal walk and only a short drive into town with big supermarkets etc. good facilities and all pitches seems to have hookup and water 👌
Disliked Not much at all. I guess there’s not too much on site for kids but only there a couple of days and plenty of grass area for them to play football etc… Only 2 hours WiFi for free but I had good 4g reception so wasn’t an issue for us.

Convienient site.
Powered gravel caravan site
Liked Position near canal and close to a beautiful pub scenery beautiful. Friendly staff very helpful when on site helpful on email and phone during working hours.
Disliked Constant noise from road and train. Also we arrived and someone was in our pitch. The the occupiers had gone for a walk and there was noone, from site office, available after hours to contact, to help us. So there was little we could do. After over an hour of waiting for them to return my husband went to find them. He did and they were lovely about the error and very apologetic and kindly moved to another pitch. But there really should be someone available for emergencies (apparently someone was in their pitch so they went in our pitch). Also the showers arent the cleanest. They smelt really badly and quickly realised it was the buckets and mops that are therr to clean shower after use. However i dint think the water had been changed in weeks it was stagnant and growing things and smelt awful. The showers by canal however were very clea.

Liked We really liked being so close to the canal with the lock and the pub right on the doorstep.
Disliked The downsides were that the toilets could do with a bit of updating and really needed to be cleaned more than once a day.
The field was also right next to a busy road, a train track and was under a flight path so it wasn’t particularly peaceful.

Great place and was ideal location.
Powered grass caravan site
Liked Easy to find and they were very accommodating when I explained we needed to arrive slightly earlier on check in day.
Clean toilets and showers.
Canal side and great walk into the town and or small retail park for anything you have missed.
Disliked Very close to main road and train line so was noisy, but you got used to it.
Some campers letting their kids bang and kick doors in the toilets, but they soon stopped when I shouted.
Some campers smoking in the toilets/showers.
Pub next door is very expensive.
None of which can be helped by the owners.
