What customers say
This site boasts spacious pitches and a lovely canalside location with a popular pub next door. Facilities are generally clean and well-maintained, though some mention they are a little tired. Noise from the nearby road and railway is frequently noted but often described as not intrusive, especially at night. Access to the canal towpath may require crossing lock gates, which can be challenging for some. Staff are consistently described as friendly and helpful.

Powered grass travel trailer campsite
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.
