Summary AI-generated from Pitchup.com customer reviews




















Excellent well maintained site with all amenities at a good price
Electric grass touring pitch
Liked Jim was so helpful when we phoned as we were unable to ‘check in ‘ before 5pm. Gave us all the details to get into site. And the site is stunning! Right next to the canal where we met some lovely people that live full time on barges. Large open spaces for vehicles. Clean facilities - well looked after. The showers were amazing and just what we needed! Clean wash up are and Elsan available. Would definitely recommend! And will be back!

Electric grass touring pitch
Liked Lots of space between pitches
Good views
Mostly well kept
Disliked There is a bit of noise from the road and railway
The pitches are some way from the facilities and the back of the field by the hedges could have done with some litter clearing

Nice tidy site well located for a stopover.
Electric grass touring pitch
Liked Large open field, well spaced and large pitches with EHU and water tap.
Good, clean shower/toilet facilities - 5 or 6 spacious individual unisex cubicles.
Pub right next door, and close to town (Leighton Buzzard) and easily accessible from M1
Disliked Quite a long way from the motorhome field to facilities, especially the only washing up area and waste disposal at the marina office block.
Very frequent trains passing quite close by, so not the most peaceful, although didn't really notice at night.
Reception closes at 5:00pm, so no assistance on site and not able to obtain a key for the short cut to the pub after this time.

Good value for money but couldn't access after 5pm
Electric grass touring pitch
Liked The site was spacious with good pitch sizes and space for children to play.
The location was brilliant with lovely walks along the canal.
The site is good value for money as it doesn't add cost for every little extra. Despite access challenges I would definitely visit again.
Disliked Arrived at 5.10pm and staff had gone home. Contact number and the intercom on the locked gate merely stated they were closed. So if you were thinking of working Monday to Friday and coming for the weekend, make sure you phone ahead for code and pitch details. Others had received text message with this info but pitch numbers not accurate and no-one knew where they were supposed to be. One person left as they were so fed up with the chaos. I was lucky someone let me in. Reception staff were unapologetic in the morning and I'm not sure they had any idea who was / wasn't on site. After 5pm there were large groups of people joined their friends for a party and whilst they were no problem at all, I do wonder what you could do if there were issues.
The showers were good but needed a decent clean to get rid of cobwebs.
Says there is WiFi but there wasn't.

Liked The pub next door and being on the canal .
Disliked The nearby roads were louder than I would have liked, but the railway was terrible with the sound from the goods trains at night.
Broken driveway lighting with bare wires exposed.
Tired site.

Lovely stay near the canal lock
Electric gravel touring pitch
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.
