 Stayed on this beautiful site for a week, it is in a perfect spot, I even sat and did my first painting of the lock. Tom couldn't do enough for you, so helpful and friendly. The toilets were spotless as mentioned before. The shower was a 50p coin and lasted 6 mins, sounds short but its plenty of time, also nice and hot too. The surrounding area is lovely, we ate a couple of times at the horse and jockey which was really nice. If you get the chance to stay here please do so. I highly recommend this site, and will def returned again soon.

In common with most other reviewers, we had a lovely stay at this site. The views are great, facilities are spotless, and the owner is friendly and helpful. The grass on the camping field is well-mown and the field is nice and flat. There are plenty of good walks, and a nearby pub with very good beer and decent food. It's an easy walk into Whitchurch along the canal bank. Only slight down-side was that there was some, slight traffic noise from the A41, however it wasn't too intrusive. We will definitely visit this site again.

Simply wonderful location with a fine outlook over a lock but also a big ugly shed which we found ourselves just 6 feet from.
Showers were fine at 50p for 6 mins but the shower room and toilet rooms were unheated and was freezing to go into.
No grey waste point for motorhomes so was advised to empty in the hedge, not easy in a motorhome so used a nearby lay-by on the way home instead.
I asked if it was ok for one guest to come and join us for a pub lunch and offered to pay and was advised yes no problem but then afterwards was 'told off' as 'we don't allow guests' which I thought was pretty rude.
Lovely walk to Whitchurch and the other way to a pub but other than that little else to do but lots of fun to be had watching boats in the locks.
Dogs just fine and they could run loose in the field next door but we were later told the field was not owned by the site so hope it was ok to use but as ever we were careful to pick up our doings.
All in all a great location for a weekend but no longer but due to the cold shower room and the lecture we would not visit again.

There are several campsites at Grindley Brook but this one has the best location right on the canal. The others appeared to be directly on the A41. It is not adult only but it is not recommended for young children due to the proximity of the canal and lack of facilities.
It is a small basic site, with 6amp EHU, a couple of toilets and a shower. We did not use the toilet/shower facilities so can't comment. There is a little road noise but it was not at all a problem - and we live in the heart of the country and are light sleepers.
Owner extremely friendly and helpful. £12. 00 per night including EHU. No hardstandings. The location cannot be beaten as you can sit on your pitch and watch the canal boats go past. Great walks and cycle rides along the towpaths.
Whitchurch is about 2 miles on towpath and footpath - quicker on the road but very busy with heavy lorries and why would you want to go that way on foot or on a bike when you can go traffic free and scenic. Whitchurch is quite a nice little town.
Tried the Horse & Jockey 5 minute walk the up the towpath from the site for a meal the first night - o. K. But nothing special so we ate in the second night.
Garage opposite the pub has basic supplies and your morning paper. Also the Lockside cafe and shop is adjacent to the site. Site was not well signed - if you are heading North on the A41, the entrance is on the left 20m past the large cream building 'Grindley Brook House', take the second of the parallel drives where there is a small sign with a picture of a black caravan on it.
If coming from Chester the drive is on the right just after you go past the Lockside Cafe and over the canal bridge. Had a very enjoyable stay and would go back.

My Wife and I have visited this excellent site 5/6 times this year, it has now become our favourite site to visit.
The facilities are very good toilets clean and tidy at all times.
The site is ideally situated at the top of the staircase locks and as an ex canal boater (Angela-Louise) it still keeps me in touch with my often missed boating days (once a boater always a boater at heart).
One small alteration would be for the elsan point to be updated, ie flush or hose pipe adjacent.
There is a bus stop at the bottom of the drive with direct access to chester or Whitchurch free for the over 60s.
Tom & Sue are the ideal owners, very friendly and helpful.

We have just returned from a lovely weekend at this very pleasant site. Situated right next to the canal, we were greeted by the friendly owners and shown to our pitch.
We had EHU and our own water tap. 2 separate toilet blocks and showers, all spotlessly clean and despite it being a busy weekend no problems in getting to use them.
Home made cake for sale in the reception area. Lovely walks straight from the site, along the canal path which will either take you straight into Whitchurch, or along to the Willey Moor lock where there is a pub.
There is also another pub across the road from the site, we didn't visit but looked nice.
Children not allowed on site which meant it was very peaceful! Not too far from us which made it an easy trip for a quick weekend away, we hope to return, thanks for a lovely stay.

Had a great, stay on this lovely site. Toilets and wash facilities basic but spotless and first class. Excellent location by pretty canalside setting very dog friendly and the owners couldn't have made us feel more welcome. Carry on the good work. Would definitely use the site again, great value for money. This is the type of site which makes camping such a pleasure!

Great little quiet site. It has 6 amp max hookup. The site is well maintained and planned (max of 5 units) Had to use a leveller of about 5 cm rise so no problem there.
There are two toilets one with washing facilities and one with shower, both are kept very clean and stocked. Dogs obviously have to be kept on lead but can be let off to run around in the adjoining field.
The walk along the towpath to Whitchurch (to the left) took about an hour, turning right takes you past the locks but after 20 mins walk the towpath becomes overgrown and difficult to walk any further without getting nettled or brambled.
Booking this site was easy and organised, we will definitely return later in the year

We have just returned from the wharf caravan site. Reading the other reviews we have to agree it is in beautiful surroundings, quiet and peaceful and the ideal bolt hole for a relaxing break. Facilities are basic, but clean, and the site very tidy. It is excellent value for the price. However, we took our 11year old grandson and his friend and there is no play area available for children. Had we gone as a couple it would have been perfect but with children it is a no go for us.

We spent some very happy time here when we were between houses - living in our motorhome - moving from site to site. Tom is wonderful - so friendly. The view from the site is interesting - watching the canal boats going through the locks. The nearby shop/cafe is fine - a good place to meet all your newfound friends (campers and canal boaters) for a chat. The walks along the towpath are also good. The shower/toilet on site, though just adequate, requires some bravery however - as it's cold and very basic. Best to use your own facilities! Entrance to the site is narrow - you wouldn't get an American rv up there - but ok as we had quite a large motorhome ( 7 metres) and managed it. All in all I'd recommend it for location & friendliness - but not for caravan club type comfort!
