Oakwood Marina

This is a beautifully set out site. Tents, campervans, Yurts, Shepherds hut all have lots of space. The tent arrangement through the different fields is particularly well set out. Facilities all good. Lovely location on the banks of the marina and canal, plenty of wildlife, fields full of buttercups. The pop up bar and pizza oven on a weekend evening were excellent. Lovely experience.

Nothing

Stayed as a family of 4 for the weekend in starling tent. Had everything we needed and bed was really comfortable. Location of the bell tents to car park - reception - cafe and bar was only a short walk. The staff who run the pizza and bar facilities are really friendly and work so hard to look after you. Our little girl loved playing with theirs and really made her weekend. We liked the fact fire pit was included with a small gas portable stove. All I’d say is bring a decent frying pan but pretty much most you’ll need is provided. We left site only to go for a walk out in the sun but you could just relax here for couple of days without moving really. Will definitely book again. We lost the key just outside complex (sorry) - never have had this happen before and understandably a small charge just hope someone hands it in but we had no issues resolving it. Pictures are true reflection of tent structure and cleanliness. Would recommend

None

Pitches were large and private.

Not being able to park your car at the site

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay this weekend. Staff very welcoming and nothing is too much trouble. Breakfast was so beautifully done and the cocktails where even better. Everything you need just a 2 minute walk from your pitch. Spacious pitches and quiet surroundings gives you the peace that you need. Will be back again soon!

Would maybe suggest little storage boxes near the pitches- as you can’t park on your pitch your stuff can get quite wet in the train.

The staff were helpful and friendly

Lovely campsite, view of canal is amazing to wake up to in a morning. Very clean toilets, loved the outdoor showers(they do have indoor ones too). But I tried the outdoor, very hot and it was unique. Had breakfast at the tea room one morning, was very good. Staff extremely friendly. My dog loved the space to run around as we were lucky there was only a few campers so had lots of space. Already planning to stay again.

My only issue would be parking the car so far away from our pitch. But the staff had a quad who brought it up from the car to your pitch which was helpful. (We dont camp light) We had to carry out stuff back to the car at the end of our stay as we left early so no transport to help us :(

Picturesque narrowboat marina, excellent cafe and service, loads of birds.

Staff incredibly friendly and helpful, nothing too much trouble. You can’t take car up to tent but there are staff in hand to transport your belonging. Really laid back. Tearooms, cocktail van, pizza van. Tents really well spread out so lots of space! Portloos very clean, not many showers but we only stayed one night so we weren’t that bothered. Fire pits and logs for rental, prompt service and staff were available from early and evening at 7.30pm we still bought logs. I took an electric bed which they were able to inflate for me. Definitely recommend for a night or two.

what a stunning little camp site, first impressions when you drive into the site are its beautiful, clean, tidy very well maintained and just stunning. Near to the car park you have the nicest little social area which has a bar serving plenty of different drinks, and different food stalls serving pizzas and other different dishes so if you don't prepare your own food and drink, everything you need is there (there is also drinking water taps). The toilet and shower facilities were also spotless. The social area near the food stalls when we arrived was so relaxed, with dogs running around, families sitting having a drink and enjoying themselves and just having a good time, the atmosphere was so inviting, i camp a lot and haven't been to many camps that seem so welcoming. when you check in, staff at the camp will come over on a quad with a trailer and take your stuff to your pitch to save you carrying it around which was so helpful you wouldn't believe, and then when you are packing up, somebody will pop over again to help you with your things back to the car, little things like this separate this place from other camps ive been to. You are allowed a fire as long as you have a fire pit and if you font have your own, you can purchase one at the camp, as well as wood. The camp grounds sit around a marina and run along a canal which is stunning and you have plenty of miles around you to go on walks and get lost for the day. All in all it was a genuine pleasure to stay here, everything you want for a stunning, relaxing camp is here and ill be going back for breaks regularly.
