 We'd never been to an adult only site so were looking forward to the chance. Lovely clean loos/showers and with piped in music too. Lovely setting by canal with walks along towpath and locks to see etc, ducks & rabbits galore.
Owners very helpful. Shop handy to site and pub across the road. Easy access to Tesco in Whitchurch - 5 mins in car if that. Handy for Beeston Castle, Candle Factory etc and not far to outlet centre at Chester.
Only downside was road noise which was a bit intrusive.

Stayed here for three nights over recent wet and windy weekend. Several campers had cancelled due to the inclement weather so there was a wide choice of pitches available and Trevor ensured we had the right pitch for the weather. Couple of ponds on site with lots and lots of (hungry) ducks, grateful for the bread, some of them were quite tame and would come fairly close.
Toilet block always clean. Loved the idea of the shower block facility where toilet, basin and shower are all together, en-suite like. Plenty of hot water and facilities always extremely clean.
Had a meal out at the Horse and Jockey across the road from the site which was good. Went for a meal at the Cholmondley Arms (on the A49, approximately six miles away), a converted school house that has won a vast array of awards. Meal was exceptional, one of the best meals we’ve ever had and reasonably priced too.
It’s a shame we don’t live nearby as I’d be visiting their more regularly than my purse would allow! Only slight disappointment was the noise from the nearby A41, however this was only during the day when we were out most of the time anyway, night times were quiet. We would return.

Lovely little quiet site. Basically two flat fields with the canal running to the side and screened by trees. All pitches seemed to have EHU and water taps within reach. Just the job if you want to relax and be quiet. I was in the lower field as I was only there for one night and this was a bit enclosed by trees but the higher field seemed to have a more open aspect.
Great canal walks and lots of interest with Grindley locks (a difficult flight of three) just outside the site. There is a canalside cafe about 5 minutes walk towards Witchurch and about 30 minutes in the opposite direction The Willey Lock Tavern serves food and a great selection of real ales, many from local microbreweries. If you are not up to that then the Horse and Jockey across the road did food but didnt seem as well patronised as the one on the locks.
Garage just outside site has a small shop.
As people have said toilets and showers were immaculate although there were only two mens and two ladies at my end of the site and I wonder if there would be queues on a busy weekend?
Mobile phone signal was fine but my TV was very poor but that might be because I was down within the trees.
A great little site for peace lovers and a good stopover if on a long hike north or south.

Excellent site, flat with shortly cut grass, fields full of ducks & rabbits, all the usual hook-ups. First class showers & toilets. The shower rooms have a toilet, wash basin, central heating radiator, mirror & shower cubicle all in one dedicated room per person.
Nearest pub 100 yards away, "Horse & Jockey" good food, wonderful Cornish bitter!
Joan & Trevor Jones the proprietors are friendly & helpful. Lovely walks on the canal with the dog. I will be visiting again very shortly.

We visited on a bank holiday weekend and the site was quite full but there was plenty of room. We had a level, sheltered pitch and an enjoyable stay despite a lot of rain! The site has been very well thought out with excellent facilities. The toilet block was clean, warm and well fitted and the shower facility was the best we've used (very clean and welcoming). Both have lights which come on (and go off) automatically which is a great idea although if you take your time over your business you may have to wave your arms a bit if the light goes out!
The walkways are also flanked by automatic lighting making night time trips much easier. Water points were well spread out and within easy reach and EHU available if wanted. The owners were very friendly and relaxed and the surrounding canal scenery was lovely. 1 pub within staggering distance and another at the end of a nice walk down the towpath.
A small shop attached to the garage sells the essentials and is within a few yards of the site entrance. Lots of wildlife around the site too, we had ducks, herons, many small birds and fledglings a local cat and more baby bunnies than we could count. All of this gave our 10 month old springer spaniel a lot of excitement (like he needed any)! Highly recommended

Excellent site, flat spacious pitches, lovely walks and a super couple that run the site. No movement after 10pm and I think the entire site were in bed by then - heaven! The best nights sleep Ive had for years. Very good shop near by and great fun being entertained by the tourist barges attempting to negotiate Grindley Brook Locks. Highly recommended for a peaceful adult only weekend.

Great little site facilities good clean and tidy. Joan & Trevor plus daughter are very helpful. Will most definately visit again. Only one slight draw back the traffic from A41 can be a little noisy through the night. There are lots of good walks especially along canal towpath or if you have a cycle you can ride on the towpath all the way to Whitchurch approx 2 miles

Wonderful little site in a prime location for access into Cheshire, Shropshire and Wales (all of which we went to!). The site is well laid-out and nice and flat, with a stepped bank towards the back of the site ensuring that you're on flat ground as much as possible. Only 1/2 an hour walk up the canal bank to a lovely little pub serving good beer at Willey Moor lock - well worth a visit.
Agree with what the most recent people say about the toilet and heated shower blocks - they are immaculate and a welcome facility - especially when you're in a tent! Altogether a very pleasant and well-run site.

If you are not impressed with this small campsite you never will be! From the moment you arrive and are met by the friendly owners until you leave you are made to feel most welcome. The site was wonderful and flat a lot of thought had gone in to laying the hard standings etc. Toilet block you could eat you dinner in - promise we didn't! We were actually on a working holiday and were away most of the day on very long trips and what was so nice was knowing how good the security was on the site and never had that awful dread of returning to the van wondering if everything was going to be OK. We had the fun of loosing both vents on the way up as wind so bad, had frozen gas and water (first time winter vanning!) and still had a wonderful week. The site is kept in a perfect manner by a very good owners we wish them a very good summer season.

Back to one of our favorite sites again. Excellent
last time, now even better, thanks to the new toilet/shower block. As usual, nothing too much trouble for Joan & Trevor. Top rate this site.!

The perfect relax and chill site with generous and well laid out pitches. Ultra-clean facilities excellent security thanks to the live on site owners for whom nothing appears to be too much trouble. Numerous places of interest within easy reach by vehicle or on foot and a great pub (serving tasty food)just across the road. Cannot recommend it too highly and will use as frequently as we can.

This site has both good and bad points - good stuff first. Very nice location right by the canal very good for walks. Toilets and showers spotlessly clean and showers hot & free.
Not a particularly quiet site due to the fact that the A41 goes right past the site and the noise from there was quite intrusive both day & night.

We had a very enjoyable few days at this site. The owners were very pleasant and extremely helpful. The site was well kept and the toilets and showers spotless. We enjoyed our walks along the canal and found the site was within easy travelling distance of many lovely towns and villages. There was an excellent pub across the road and a garage /shop next door which sold most food items.
We will certainly go back again.

This is a lovely peaceful small site, The shower rooms where excellent a proper shower unit and immaculate as where the toilet's. The pitches had plenty of space and where fully serviced, as the site was right on the Llangollen Canal there where some nice walks and a good tea room about 5 minutes from the site, the pub across the road served meals and the Petrol station sold basic supplies. There was a bus stop outside the site which went into Whitchurch Town centre. If you go into Shrewsbury park at the Harlescot Park and Ride area, free parking and £1. Return to Shrewsbury town there is a good market there on a Sunday morning.
In all had a lovely few day's at Canal Side, would definitely recommend this site. Will definitely return.
