Plenty of space. But rather scruffy. I love the old sunken boats and the old earth moving kit. But others will see rubbish. Many of the caravans look rather neglected. It is a peisful site, but the main road goes over the site, so trafic noise is constant.

Wasn't sure what to expect with some of the reviews and I see why some are negative as there is places on the park that need attention, however I booked a Riverside pitch with electric which was really cheap and I was pleasantly surprised! I have all facilities in my caravan so the lack of facilities wasn't a problem for me. We took the kayak and the fishing rods and went on the canal the kids loved it and the area is stunning for walks too. I've booked 3 times now and pay monthly to leave my caravan on the pitch. It feels very nostalgic when I'm there, peaceful and relaxing, a lovely place to explore and make memories. Yes there's room for improvement but it doesn't disappoint!

Very much a residential park and not touring. The whole place is tired. Seems to be a lot of junk and rubbish around and loads of seemingly abandoned caravans. There seems to be a lot of permanent residents who were friendly so the place must have some positive points but we couldnt find them. Toilets - very old, smelly but relatively clean. The bar looked abandoned. Found only one chemical disposal point on the whole site. Didnt find showers & wouldnt have used then given state of rest of the place. A6 is nearby and very loud as is the music at night from the pub just outside the site but that could have been where we sited. Shame really, this place should be a star and could be with some money spent on it. Had to call a mobile on arrival as no one was about and were more or less told to find a pitch and get on with it. Didnt see anyone all weekend which wasnt really a problem. In summary - Was it okay ? Only just Would we go again - God, No!

It's good for the price. When we arrived we realised that reception was closed and neither the normal or the emergency number was picking up. There is a lot of junk everywhere including old cars, tyres and lawnmowers etc. We had a good few days here although we were a 15 minute walk from the toilets. It's okay for a short stay and the surrounding area is really nice.

Had a lovely time here and for the money you really can’t fault it. Yes it’s slightly run down and could use some TLC. But there are hot showers, toilets (take your own loo roll!) and lovely walks in the area. It’s a basic campsite and very good value for money.
