Get away from it all on a camping trip! Our large campsite is a very peaceful retreat. It is situated next to the canal and surrounded by woodlands. Tents, caravans and motorhomes are all welcome. The campsite is open from Easter until the end of September but if the weather stays fine, we may open longer.
