Heygates

Syntes om We were in a VW camper van. All very good. Hardstanding. Quiet.

Syntes ikke om A sign on gate would be good. Directions perfect but we arrived in dark and we’re not 100% sure we’d found right place especially as hadn’t appreciated it was just one pitch site. Almost parked in owners own car parking spot which was further up lane as same gate and gravel layout. For no facilities except a tap could be cheaper.

Fra bestyreren: Thanks for leaving a review Catherine.

We have thought about a sign at great length. Whilst we don't get anti-social problems in the area, we erred on the side of not advertising the presence of vans to minimise any security risks.

Appreciate that finding it in the dark can be a little tricky, which is why we recommend using What3Words, which will navigate you to the gate.

Best wishes.

Syntes om had a wonderful quiet stay at Haygates. what an absolutely gorgeous spot by the canal. full of wildlife and star gazing.

Fra bestyreren: Thanks for taking the time to leave a review Ashley. It was a pleasure to host you, and we hope to see you again in future.

Syntes om Loved it! Had a couple of clear and helpful emails from the owner prior to staying, one of which was to inform us of a horse event happening during our stay, and giving us the option to switch days should we wish. (We didn’t).
The owner even walked up in the afternoon to introduce himself, and ask if we needed anything during our stay.
The pitch is huge, probably large enough to get one of those American type motorhomes that have extending sections.
The ground is flat, and well compacted gravel, so you’ll need a good ham,met for putting up awnings. There’s a gate as well so you’re nicely secured.

Very easy to get to from the A14Jcn2 at welford, thus making it a perfect overnight stop in the midlands if one was making a long trip across country.


The facilities are fresh water only, so dont expect shower facilities etc.

Overall very peaceful with great walks along the canal in either direction.

Fra bestyreren: Thanks very much for leaving such a comprehensive review. It was a pleasure to meet you, hope to see you again in future :-)

Syntes om Is a single gravel pitch remote from anywhere with just a water tap. Van needs to have its own facilities but fine for a short stay.

Syntes ikke om Very tight entrance and not suitable for a large van. No clear markings or reception to indicate is is a caravan site.

Fra bestyreren: Thanks for the review Kelly, it was a pleasure to meet you and your lovely dog.

Sorry about the fishing - you should have dropped me a text, and I'd have brought the strimmer down! Drop me a text if you choose to visit again and I'll make sure it's all good to go.

Have a lovely summer

Right next to the Grand Union Canal for a walk and to watch the boats.

Syntes om Beautiful private 1 pitch site. Nice helpful owner. We only had 1 night and would have liked to stay longer.
Not advised if you don't have a caravan motor mover. Beautiful canal walk. As you go through the gate park your car in the middle.
