What customers say
This scenic marina site's praised for its peaceful vibe, helpful staff, and prime canal spot. Pitches are spacious, with some having full hook-ups. Facilities are mostly clean but a bit dated, with occasional waits. The Plough pub and proximity to Lichfield are big pluses.

A lovely quiet site, with fruit trees near the pitches
Fully-serviced gravel touring pitch
Liked There was water and electricity on all the pitches. The pitches were fully hard standing.
Disliked The showers and toilets were rather a long way from the caravan and camping areas, as they were designed to be used by the Marina.
The waste and recycling bins were full.

Non-electric gravel touring pitch
Liked Easy check in, friendly staff. Small site right by the canal which was perfect for meeting up with friends passing by. Plenty of room.
Disliked Would help if some separate toilets rather than all toilet & shower as can mean long wait.

Well located site but needs just a bit of TLC.
Fully-serviced gravel touring pitch
Liked Proximity to Lichfield, friendly staff and good sized pitches. Great walks in and around the marina.
Disliked Approach road needs patching and speed humps need to be more identifiable. Toilet facilities, whilst clean are looking a bit tired and need of renovation.
All the bins are over flowing and have been the whole time on our 4 night stay which is an eyesore when you first come into the site.
