Escape to the peace and tranquillity of the Northamptonshire countryside in one of our luxury adults-only canalside lodges. Whether you're looking to relax, explore or simply switch off, everything you need is right here.
Each handcrafted lodge features a fully equipped kitchen with an oven, grill, induction hob, fridge/freezer, bean-to-cup coffee machine, cookware & utensils. You'll also enjoy a king-size Emma mattress, wood-burning stove, private bathroom, towels, dressing gowns, slippers and plenty of thoughtful touches to make your stay extra special.
Outside, unwind in your own private wood-fired hot tub, enjoy evenings around the fire pit, cook on the BBQ, or simply relax on the decking or hammock overlooking the canal. All fuel for the hot tub, fire pit and wood burner is provided.
Step onto peaceful canalside walks where nature is never far away. Keep an eye out for red kites, buzzards and kingfishers, and if you're lucky, you may even spot an otter swimming along the canal. Each lodge also has its own private fishing peg on a quiet turning point in the canal, meaning you'll rarely be disturbed by passing boats.
A selection of welcoming country pubs and restaurants are just a short drive away, while the attractive market towns of Rugby & Market Harborough can both be reached in around 20 minutes.

Loved it at fire and stars! Really beautiful campsite, wonderful for families. Just the right level of wildness and 'no frills', whilst still having good facilities.
Our family loved it. Our 5 year old was in her element. Loooooved camping amongst the trees, a big site to walk around the young woodland too. Thank you so much!

I recently visited Lakeland boats sales looking for my new narrowboat home and was pleasantly surprised to see the campsite across the road, as I’d traveled 3 hrs I thought I’d stay the night and I’m so pleased I did. Canal running through the site, lovely field, couple of portable toilets, yes it’s basic but that’s what I like. Big thank you to Patrick and hipcamp 👍

2 nights at Podtastic @ Nelsons Wharf
Had an absolutely wonderful time at the pods. Its supplied with everything you need so no need to pack anything!! Other than food. We are a barbecue lover and these pods already was packed with everything you need so was brilliant. Everyone was supper friendly as we were approached by Izzie and tom on arrival with a smile. The place is beautiful and has amazing views, very quiet and private. It’s very safe as the place has sensors so they are aware of who leaves and enters. Will absolutely visit again in the future!!

Loved camping amidst the trees, listening to the birds chirping. The hosts were very friendly and the site was peaceful. There was someone ignoring the no music policy unfortunately but it was still a great experience. Good distance and privacy from other pitches. Pub nearby stops serving food at 7pm on Saturday night if there isn't any customers. There is drinking water on site despite the listing saying otherwise. Chemical toilets clean enough. Nice washing up area under cover.

Wasn't sure what to expect to be honest. Last time I camped in a camp site it was just a field with a portaloo.
This exceeded expectations in every way. Secure number plate scanning gate on entry, unbelievable facilities (proper toilets, showers, sinks). Water tap available and rentable firepits and purchasable kindling and logs.
Honestly proper impressed. Didn't have much interaction with management but what we did have was a pleasure and the pricing of the stay and the wood was fantastic. I absolutely intend on returning and will be highly recommending to everyone I know who is interested.
Also, I don't have a clue what it was all about... But 2 days running we saw an INSANELY low plane go by. Looked like a military cargo plane or something. Couple of helicopters too. Free air show? Bargain!
Also if you're into animals you'll get your fill. Surrounded by horses, geese and ducks flying over, and a nearby owl hooting and hollering.
Loved it.

Great little camp site.
Toilets were clean, showers looked good (didn't use)
Staff we're friendly. Looks like they got a cool little club/pub on site popped in for a second but looks comfortable with a TV, draft beer and a dart board.
Play park looked good, didn't explore as the field was waterlogged.
Had a camp fire, borrowed a fire pit and brought some wood off site.
Pleasant experience will be coming back.

We booked super last minute with a tentbox - had a great peaceful night - surprise snow in the morning too! Didn’t get to explore the site much due to it being a quick stop over but it looked nice, lots of people cycling and running - the only thing that would of made it better would of been a toilet - but if you’re in a camper this is a great spot!
