Lovely family run site, clean and well maintained. Most people follow and respect the rules. We were unlucky on our first night (lower field) that a group in campers set up a party, being extremely loud until 1pm ignoring rules, however the owner did come down and explain it to them again and it stopped. All other campers were lovely and friendly. The following night was much better. Lovely walks along the canal and river with easy access to Shugborough estate so perfect for a few nights of local exploring. If you enjoy fishing you can set up along the canal for a few hours direclty off the site. The canal side garden centre with cafe and shop is a small walk up the road and the Clifford Arms pub the other. A local Spar shop is also within an easy walk with Alid 10 mins away by car. Everything was very reasonably priced and perfect for a short trip away. Thank you to the owners.

Lovely area close to beautiful walks in Cannock Chase. Canalside walk is even closer (though not a loop!). The campsite also has a great playground for kids, with ponies and horses in the next fields. Small bar to get drinks too for the adults

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 👍

Stayed for 2 nights, great site with really good amenities, loads of things to do nearby, if your into canal walks etc. it was the owners wife’s birthday on my last night, had an absolutely amazing time at the clubhouse, everyone who works there are really friendly and welcoming. Would gladly stay again, but stay away from the tequila rose next time!!.

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.

It was our first time camping with our new teardrop camper and we definitely chose the right place! David was so lovely and helped me to reverse it onto the pitch. Due to bad reviews I expected the facilities to be dirty but they were far from it! Very clean and plenty of toilet roll!
As for the location, it’s amazing for people who love walking, we had a few hours walk down the canal and I definitely recommend walking across the road to the Riverside cafe for some lunch. Other than that there’s not much to do unless you want to drive into Stafford Centre but perfect for a quiet chilled couple of nights!

Lovely view! Farm Shop opposite where we got ice cream, fresh milkshake and fresh pizza cooked! Then we went on a walk past the canals and found Essex bridge where the kids swam with other children in a river! Kids had the best time!

Great little spot by the canal. Facilities are quite basic but the swans and goslings more than made up for it.
