Non-electric gravel touring pitch
Liked It's the first time we had tried our campervan with no hook up, so possibly the fact it performed well added to our trip, however, we stayed at the very end of the non serviced pitches and had a beautifull view over the fields. It was a very peaceful site amd the kids were able to kick and throw their balls in the farmers field, luckily it had just been cut and the weather was great so again this all added to the weekend. The toilets were clean and had proper showers, my 10yo lad said it was the best camping shower he had ever had so they must be doing something right. Seing the marina gave the site another plus as it is intriguing to see the boating world and a different option to camping, we chatted to a few of the boaters amd they were all lovely. I could not fault the site for the money and recommend anyone using Staffordshire as a layover or as we did to see friends use this as a base.
Disliked There are only 2 toilets, so there was often a short wait but the site isn't massive so you were in within 5 mins usually if you did have to wait.

Liked Great staff quiet peaceful site
Disliked Given increased capacity the inclusion of tents and the Marina guests means that the 5 available bathrooms are totally insufficient for the site and they need to add further facilities. On a previous visit we were told the owners were considering adding facilities on the end of the hard standing pitches they need to do that ASAP. All 3 mornings during my visit i had to wait for a bathroom to be come available only 2 bathrooms by the hard standing and a further 3 on the opposite side of the Marina near the CL
