What customers say
A charming canal-side spot with spacious sites and helpful staff. Facilities are generally clean, with private shower/toilet rooms. Grove Lock pub next door gets high marks. While many love the peaceful location and marina views, some note road/rail noise and minor upkeep needs.

Liked Lovely clean site. Wonderful showers and WC facilities. Excellent size pitches. Staff very friendly and helpful but the best part was the pub next door. Stunning location on the canal and fantastic food. Will be back next year❤️

Powered gravel travel trailer campsite
Liked The whole site was very well laid out and very clean. Several reviews mentioned the noise from the railway but to be honest I never heard them during the night.
Disliked Nothing to do with the site but we had food at the pub, was not impressed with the BBQ wings, I have never had battered wings before, not for me but as I said this was the only thing I didn't like and it was nothing to do with the site.

Simple but has everything needed
Powered grass travel trailer campsite
Liked Site was simple and campers were well spaced for privacy. Good access to pub next door and for a walk along the canal. There’s a lakeside park about a mile away which we’d have explored more but it was close to 30 degrees so too hot for a dog. Shop is small but staff were helpful. We needed gas when away and they had what we needed. Toilets and showers were clean and tidy.
Disliked We were on a pitch that backed onto a b-road. This was busy all night. Other pitches would have been quieter though.
Difficult to find. Ended up in pub car park but soon rectified. Saw an RV do the same and it was much more difficult for them to correct it!
Wi-Fi was weak at the extremities of the field.

Great location, friendly staff, excellent pub next door
Powered grass travel trailer campsite
Liked I moved here from another local site that got too noisy and it was great move. The touring pitches are around a big open field, very spacious, although I would have liked a bit of physical separation between the pitches (a small hedge or something). I was pitch 15 which backs onto the road, with a fair bit of noise, but it was quiet overnight.
Toilets were individual shower rooms with loo, basin and shower in each one. Very spacious and clean.
Excellent pub right next door, the Grove Lock, I was solo with my dog and enjoyed a pint and good fish & chips there.
Receptionist very friendly.
Location by the canal is lovely.

Powered grass travel trailer campsite
Liked Peaceful and enjoyable stay at a very well maintained site. Situated within easy reach of all major roads in the area.
Excellent facilities, very clean shower block along with a large popular pub (with food) available next door.
Site management were excellent - very efficient, always smiling and even willing to go above and beyond to make the stay of their guests perfect.
I will be returning (I’ve already booked).
Thank you

Great break
Powered gravel travel trailer campsite
Liked Big pitches, very friendly staff.
Good value for money, cheap laundry costs making our stop over good.
Disliked Pub next to site isn’t the cheapest but that’s nothing to do with the site.
And maybe a northern thing lol
