Nice quiet site

Pitches very small to reverse into will need motor mover pitch we was on flooded was told we can't change even tho other pitches was empty very deep water 16ft not fenced off for kids no safety no play park very unhelpfull staff onsite shop does not sell any essentials only sweets only 2 toilets for hole site 2 showers

Toilets and showers were clean and accessed by a key.
Lovely setting by the canal with a walk along to The Plough.

The road to Kings Orchards Marina had quite a few pot holes which isn’t ideal when towing a caravan.

Spent two very nice nights here, facilities were clean and it's a grand little spot near the Coventry canal (Swallows and Goldfinches galore, a couple of swans, spoke to a lady on a boat who had just spotted a Kingfisher and we spotted a Mink swimming in the water).

Pitches are level, gravel and grass, easily identifiable with numbers, a light, ehu and water on each post.
Our spot had a neat hedge on each side that gave a good level of privacy (and a visiting Goldfinch that kept bobbing in and out of the branches).

The Plough Inn is just over a kilometre walk along the towpath, you can exit the marina directly onto the canal path via a locked gate (key/key deposit required) or walk through the corn field (turn right immediately out of the front gate) to gain access to the towpath (it's a bit longer and a bit muddy when wet).
Pub was lovely but really busy so probably need to book an inside table in advance, it was a nice evening so we ordered a pint and pizza and ate in the garden, which was very nice and we didn't have a wait.

This site is about a 15 minute drive to the National Memorial Arboretum (easy MoHo parking at that location) and a 12 minute drive into Lichfield City car parks (we used Greenhough Road car park, no height barrier and cost 50p for 2 hours/£1 for 4 hours. MoHo's based on medium size vans are permitted by Lichfield Council to use the car parks for day parking (no overnighting allowed) and pay for 2 parking bays if required).

We liked the non-fuss nature of this marina site. We didn't actually see anybody (we didn't feel the need), we arrived just after 5pm but made a phone call (in office hours) and got the info we needed.
We easily located every thing we needed on site, toilets/showers, bins and recycling. We exchanged pleasant hellos and nods to the people we saw around us and had a happy stay, job done !

I'd have no hesitation about returning.

Splitter plug used in the post on our pitch for electric to neighbouring pitch 11. We just retuned after a day out to find this was the case. We didn't trip the electric supply so all was good and as it happened we departed early the next morning so no problem.

The occasional tractor noise as they chug along the back of the pitches on the other side of the hedge to gain access to the farm fields (a mere observation, certainly not a complaint).

The side of the grass leading onto the gravel pitch can get a bit muddy when it's been wet but the site has laid down some rubber matting to ease this.

Peaceful, quiet and nice

Nice site next to barge marina.

The people in the pitch next to us decided to burn wood which was damp, causing lots of smoke to blow in and around our caravan. we could not sit outside and had to keep the door and windows shut, we complained and got an apology from the man but the next night it was repeated. We left the next morning (a day early) and informed the site reception who said that they should not have been burning wood, she also apologized and said she would see them later on.
