What customers say
The site is praised for its excellent canal-side location, clean and spacious facilities, and friendly staff. Its proximity to a pub and scenic walks are highlights. However, noise from a nearby busy road and railway line is frequently mentioned, and some facilities could benefit from updating. Access and signage can also be issues upon arrival.

Lovely stay near the canal lock
Powered gravel travel trailer campsite
Liked Loved this site which is really well laid out and we were so lucky to be in a corner plot which is a short walk to reception. Easy access to the pub along the canal with a key to get through the gate for a shortcut . Definitely stay again .
Disliked Squeaky gate and some traffic noise during the day but much quieter at night . Nothing untoward and didn’t affect our stay one bit.

Liked Nice location right by the canal and next to the Grove Lock pub. Quite quiet site (with a little bit of traffic noise from the nearby road). Decent facilities which were clean and modern. Friendly staff.
Disliked Slightly confusing on arrival - not immediately obvious where reception is to register (go to the Marina office).
