Primitive grass travel trailer campsite
Liked: Quiet canalside location and very helpful owner who was kindly lent me a hose attachment (mine went missing). No children with me and did not try the WiFi, so unable to score those. This site was perfect for my needs, as a one night stopover close to the M6.
Disliked: Toilets little small and did not chance the shower as other reviews have said it was cold water only.
