What customers say
Top spot! Peaceful, spacious pitches with great marina views. Friendly staff, clean amenities, tasty cafe food (especially pizzas). Tranquil vibe, but expect some plane noise and busy loos in peak times. Keen to come back!

Liked The staff was accommodating - gave us a big pitch for our group. Lovely food at the tea room again staff lovely can’t do enough for you.
Disliked Few points that I feel people should be aware of before booking (some which I didn’t know until arriving)
You are not allowed to park at your tent or even near your tent (it’s a good 5/10 minute walk to get across to the tents)
Your stuff is taken across for you by the staff on a quad. Only one quad was operating so when busy your waiting a while and it’s a lot more inconvenient then just being able unpack your car on your pitch. If you have small family/lots of stuff you will know what I mean.
The plots are actually mowed down specially for your group depending on size. There was so many spiders/creepy crawlers like so many more then I’ve ever known camping. Maybe due to so many long bushes surrounding. (I know to expect them but we had dozens of like spiders on the tent even packing up they was everywhere)
Just bare in mind it’s near a Marina and there’s lots of bushes/ect round
The tent pitches are a good 5/10 minute walk walk to the little bar and tea room and main toilets
One shower block with one shower in it.
Portalos are the only other toilets on the tent pitches
Again when coming to pack up we just found it so stressful not having the car to pack up as we go so would 100% put us off staying again
Also couldn’t ever get through via phone says they are shut and when texting text replies are very hit and miss

Liked Beautiful spot! So peaceful and private and surrounded by gorgeous scenery. It’s right on a canal so lots of barges here too. The way they have set out their campsite is perfect! Gives everyone plenty of space and privacy. They have such a lovely community feel. It’s really well run so all the amenities are clean and you can tell they really care about what they do! Loved that they take all of your things from your car to your camp spot in their buggy. There’s a bar, a cafe and even pizzas in the evening. Such a lovely touch to a wonderful camping experience. This will definitely be a regular spot for us ☺️ thanks to the team there for making it a lovely experience.
Disliked Nothing - for me everything is perfect. The best place to go a disconnect!
