Lovely, little campsite and it's situated by the canal with a farm shop and café across the road. The barge market is brilliant, you can even buy beer and takeaway pizza and jacket tatties. The owner was friendly and let us pitch up early, will be seeing if we can book this weekend, weather permitting. Highly recommend this little place.
Great little site

This is a fantastic, small site in a beautiful location. If you're a low maintenance camper and are happy with no frills, a great location and the basics then this is perfect. Good pub nearby, breakfast at the Canalside Café is highly recommended. We took a kayak and did a loop of the canal and River Sow, which was great fun.
Beautiful place!
