Electric grass touring pitch
Liked: Big field, lots of room for kids to run around.
Close proximity to Grand Union Canal and Grove Lock Marina for picturesque walks . Also pub right next door what more could you need?
Facilities excellent with individual bathrooms 6/7 in a block, well maintained and stocked.
Disliked: Campsite signs! Postcode takes you to some stables not the campsite. Site should be called Grove Lock Marina campsite, not just Grove Lock. ( Pitchup ads just say Grove Lock campsite) We phoned site as we were approaching because we had just driven right past! we thought the lock would Be a different place to the marina, and no brown caravan sign to direct you. Guy on the phone said turn in at pub sign - but there are 2!! Got there eventually.
Camping field is adjacent to quite a busy road so can be a bit noisy. But wasn’t a big issue as in a caravan.

Could be nice but appalling management makes it unsafe to book.

Liked: The local pub was gorgeous.
Disliked: We were given an incorrect entry code so we could not get in. If another guest had not shown up, we would not have got in at all.
We could not use the pedestrian gate to the canal.
No body answered the phone or emails.
This is absolutely unsatisfactory.

Ok for a short stay and as a base to visit the area during the day.

Electric grass touring pitch
Liked: Lots of space between pitches. Sanitary block excellent with toilet, shower and wash bassin all in one private space and very clean.
Disliked: The grass pitches are situated in a field near the road and the train line so it is quite noisy.
Despite good review on the nearby pub, we had a bad experience: It was very busy and short of staff so the tables were not cleaned and many dishes on the menu were not available…but that is nothing to do with the campsite.

Liked: Friendly and welcoming staff, clean and excellent amenities, perfect location for walks along the canal, respectful fellow campers.
Disliked: It is along a road and railway; but if you walk for long enough, you can sleep through the noise of such good transport links!

Liked: The site how well laid out it was and the people who were very helpful, plus you had the grand canal at the edge of the site that was lovely for walks and to top it all off was the pub called The Grove Lock, the food was outstanding and you could eat inside or outside, we will be back.
Disliked: There was nothing to dislike sorry.
