What customers say
Charming canalside spot! Guests love the friendly owners, level spots, and nearby shops/trails. Facilities are simple but clean. Some noted camper noise and chilly showers. Good value, though a few found rules lax and toilets basic.

Powered grass travel trailer campsite
Liked We stayed in a tentbox and the campsite it really good ground isn't boggy and plenty of space. The surrounding area was lovely walking distance to the canal, few shops and a pub. Highly reccomend if you want to get down to basics and have a peaceful break.
Owner also provided an extention plug for electric and free firepit (limited fire pits available but if you ask him if one is available he will lend you it)
Disliked This is 'wild' camping but something to keep in mind the showers are cold no hot water and the cubicles for the toilets are quite small so if you are tall will struggle to close the door or get changed in them after a shower but this is a small dislike this hasn't put me off booking this site again in the future.

Powered grass travel trailer campsite
Liked Nice location next to the canal, lovely walks. Short walk to shop & cafes. Lovely views from the top across the sea.
Disliked Toilet block was terrible, no hot water & very small Toilet cubicles, thankfully being in a motorhome didn't need to use them.

A lovely site with a friendly owner who was very helpful & welcoming.
Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite
Liked A lovely little campsite with lots of beautiful surroundings. The owner was very helpful & welcoming & the atmosphere was great. Everyone was enjoying themselves having barbeques or fires. Lots of different music which did go quiet around a reasonable hour for the younger children. Would recommended the older generation who dislike noise to go to an adults only site as this seemed to upset them. Defiantly a place for families. We will be coming again.
Disliked The toilets/shower block could do with a little TLC.

Thoroughly enjoyable overnight stay minimal room for improvement
Powered grass travel trailer campsite
Liked Open field
Pick your own pitch
Basic but... electric, plenty of water points, adequate bins and hot coals disposal and chemical toilet disposal, site toilets with wash basin and shower.
Open fires and BBQs allowed
Fabulously attentive owners
Peaceful site and excellent surrounding area
We were lucky enough to have a clear sky and so with minimal light pollution made for a fabulous experience for amateur stargazing
Disliked The toilet and shower block could do with expanding and smartening up; not much leg room in the cubicles only one shower per gender, no disabled access and no hand rails for those with challenged mobility, better lighting inside and out would be an improvement.

Primitive grass travel trailer campsite
Liked The scenery and a little park which my granddaughter used.
The owner seems ok he came and introduced himself.
Disliked The toilets/showers are a bit tatty. Rubbish left from people all over the site was woken up at half 6 in morning by possibly a jcb behind field what kept bleeping reversing and the banging from the works behind the field. Dogs should be kept on leads we had ours on leads at all times .
