What customers say
This is a clean, well-maintained campground with friendly, helpful owners. Facilities are basic but spotless, with thoughtful extras. Guests love the spacious sites, peaceful atmosphere, and convenient M6 location. The enclosed dog run is a plus. Minor road noise is noted but usually not an issue.

A really lovely peaceful site with great facilities.
Primitive grass travel trailer campsite
Liked This is a really lovely campsite. The facilities include a small indoor kitchen with sinks, fridge, kettle etc. The ladies toilets were immaculate. All the toilet cubicles have their own washbasin, and the showers are great, with shampoo and gel provided.
The hardstanding pitches are near the utility block, but I was able to park my small camper in a field beyond them where there was loads of space and nobody else near me. Some reviews have mentioned road noise, but it was barely noticable.
I only had one night as a stopover on my way north, but I was tempted to book another night just because it was such a nice peaceful place to be.

Nice place to stay for one night
Powered grass campsite
Liked The host was nice and friendly
Disliked Our pitch was too far form the electric box, so we paid for one but we couldn’t use it.
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Hi,
Sorry to hear that you were too far away from the electric hook up. We do stock long leads if you don't have one to borrow.
Hopefully we can accommodate you next time.
Grandios
Powered cement/asphalt and grass travel trailer campsite
Liked Absolut überragend, würde mehr Sterne vergeben wenn es ginge. Die Liebe zum Detail mit Gratis Zahnbürsten, Kaffee, Tee, Eis ist einmalig. Absolut zu empfehlen. Alles TipTop sauber und ordentlich. Eine richtige eingezäunte Hundewiese gibt es selten.

From the manager: Thank you so much, Thomas, your review is absolutely fantastic, and we’re thrilled you enjoyed your stay.
“Absolutely outstanding, I would give more stars if I could. The attention to detail with free toothbrushes, coffee, tea, ice cream is unique. Absolutely recommended. Everything spotlessly clean and tidy. A proper fenced dog meadow is rare.”
We’re over the moon that you found everything tip‑top and appreciated all the little touches, we put a lot of care into those details, so it’s wonderful to hear they stood out. And we’re especially happy your dog loved the enclosed exercise area; our four‑legged guests deserve a great holiday too.
Thank you again for your kind words and your photos, we’d be delighted to welcome you back to the park anytime.

Liked Lovely little peaceful site. Toilets always clean. Had complimentary shower wash, tea and coffee making facilities. Dog exercise area was all fenced in so dogs could be off lead. We only stayed 1 night but will definitely return.

From the manager: Thank you so much, Sharon, your review is absolutely lovely to read.
We’re really pleased you enjoyed your stay and found the park peaceful and welcoming. It’s great to hear the toilets were always clean and that the complimentary shower wash, tea and coffee, and the fenced dog exercise area all added to your visit. We love making things as easy and comfortable as possible for guests, even on a short stop‑over.

Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite
Liked Facilities simple but good, clean and warm. Hot drinks station in washing up room a bonus. We only stayed for a short stop-over but we were welcomed warmly.
Disliked A few noisy ducks woke us early but we could probably have got back to sleep if we didn't need to make an early start.

From the manager: Thank you so much, Yvonne, we really appreciate you taking the time to leave a review.
We’re delighted your short stop‑over was warm, welcoming, and comfortable. It’s lovely to hear the facilities felt clean, simple, and just what you needed, and we’re glad the hot drinks station in the washing‑up room was a helpful bonus during your stay.
Those early‑morning ducks do like to make themselves known, but we’re pleased they didn’t spoil your visit, and it sounds like your early start meant you were up and away before they settled down again.
Thank you for recommending us and planning to visit again. We’d be very happy to welcome you back to the park whenever you’re next passing through.
