What customers say
This well-kept park has spacious sites and great amenities, including clean, warm showers. Its prime spot by the Grand Union Canal and a welcoming pub is often praised for lovely walks. While some guests mention road and rail noise, many find it not bothersome. Staff are consistently called friendly and helpful. Canal towpath access requires crossing lock gates, which may be difficult for some.

Will be returning to the motorhome pitches. Site is in a lovely spot.
Powered grass travel trailer campsite
Liked Facilities clean and tidy. Quiet pitch. Staff moved us from grass pitch to a hard standing due to a large group of people.
Disliked Some other campers were not taking control of their dogs who were messing on other pitches. The staff were helpful and did clean up the mess we saw, however both of our children stood in mess that we hadn't seen. All other campers had dogs on leads.

Powered grass travel trailer campsite
Liked Location, very friendly and helpful staff when on duty.
Disliked Bins overflowing, extremely noisy. Trains plane and automobiles from all directions.
On my most recent stay ( 1st week in September) they allowed on a load of the traveling community, they were nice enough to me, in fact I’d say they were very friendly. However I stay in my caravan whilst I’m away from home working ( 3 nights a week ) I was very uncomfortable leaving my caravan in the day whilst I was out working. On the last day upon returning to my van the police stopped me and asked about criminal damage to a car… my caravan was undamaged but the kids had damaged a car that was onsite.

Cut our weekend stay to just one night
Powered grass travel trailer campsite
Liked Pitch was clean and tidy with plenty of space.
Disliked The toilet/shower blocks . In need of some major care and update. Not very clean and the walls do not meet the ceiling, you can hear everything going on in the whole block .
We had to hunt around to find a water tap that wasnt on someone else's pitch and when we finally found one it didn't work . A kind lady let me use hers in the end .
