About the site
An ideal spot to sit back, unwind and watch barges chug past. With waterside benches to enjoy a picnic or grab a delicious bite to eat from the onsite tea room, it is a great place to enjoy a slow morning or wildlife spotting. For tent campers, there are a total of seventeen non electric grass pitches, each a spacious 12m x 10m. These all allow up to five guests, with many close to the waters edge so you get a great view! If travelling with your campervan or motorhome, there are five electric grass pitches on offer. These measure 3m x 8m and come with a 16 amp hook up, along with a water tap. Up to five guests are permitted per pitch. The site also offers cosy bell tents for those looking for a little more luxury. The 5m tents sleep up to two adults and two children. They are kitted out with a double bed, memory foam mattress, duvet, bedside tables, battery lights, rugs and blankets. A 5l bottle of water, candles, cooking equipment, crockery and an LED lantern are included too. For relaxing outdoors, you will have a picnic table, along with two folding chairs. If you want to toast some marshmallows, you will have a fire pit, kindling, logs and a firelighter. Solar lighting is around the tent, and you will have access to a washing up bowl, along with a door mat and shoe box. For scaring away the midges, there is a citronella candle too. Dogs are welcome to join you for your stay, with up to two four-legged friends per pitch. Guests can also bring along a BBQ or fire pit, just please ensure to keep it raised from the ground.
Oakwood Marina is open from 03/04 to 28/09 in 2025 and 2026. Pitches from £27/night for 2 people.
