 Excellent facilities from the cleanest elsan point to the toilets.
Great looking site that is ideally placed next to a very nice pub.
There are excellent walking routes along the canal.
But do note there is no shop on site or anything nearby so make sure you bring all you need.

Back again!
I enquired using the form on here and they were quick to respond with pitch availability and prices and I confirmed. There was no key code this time and you had to phone reception to get them to open the gate, however this is great unless you wish to go out for a meal, to the shops, etc, as once reception is closed it is tough, you cannot get in unless you ask another camper to drive to the gate to open it form the inside!
As before all pitches have electric and water on the posts. The pitches are flat and well maintained.
Noisy from the nearby train line and road, however this is perfect for me as I am not a fan of too quiet sites and it means sitting outside with a fire is more enjoyable as you can make a bit more chatting noise.
Toilets made up of 5 of them, all with shower, toilet and sink in them, very clean and loads of water pressure.
Chemical disposal by reception and is quite high, so could potentially get splash back, but I avoided that again.
Visited the pub for food and drink, great choice of drinks and the food was very good, not the cheapest, but very good grub. Loved sitting by the canal watching the boats go by.
Great for kids as there is a lot of space to run and play, handy for bike rides and walks along the canal.
Another great visit and I would visit again at £23. 50 per pitch per night inc the electric and the dog. However this time I booked online and paid in full, then when my friend turned up he charged him again, and also charged him for 3 pitches when we only had two. When requesting a refund he needed proof of how much he charged as he could not remember taking the payment the afternoon before, however it was swiftly sorted out and a full refund given.

On arrival, there is a keycoded pad and simply in and on to the pitches. As before all pitches have electric and water on the posts. The pitches are flat and well maintained.

Visited the pub this time, great choice of drinks and the food looked delish, and loads of benches by the canal to sit and watch the boats go by.
Another great visit and I would visit again at £22. 50 per putch per night inc the electric and the dog.

We loved our stay! We wanted to give our children a 'first camping experience' in our camper van. We loved the walk down to the canal to see the barges.
We used the barbecue to toast some marshmallows. The camp site was very spacious and pretty. My daughter enjoying running around the site.
The toilet facilities were clean and spotless. Great value for money and we will definitely come again. Thank you for making our children smile!

Very well cared for site, level pitches with EHU and water.
Toilet block is large and very clean.
Very secure site behind locked gates.
Staff are extremely friendly and very helpful.

Lovely clean site located next to a canal and pub. Can be a little noisy near to the main road so depends where you pitch.
Friendly staff, but remember they lunch at 1pm so may not be there to open the gate if you arrive at that time.
Overall and nice place to stay

Lovely clean site, water tap at each E H U. Point.
Rail line close by but never botherd us also busy road but again same thing,
Long treck to toilets & shower but both spotlessly clean, even further to the only elsan disposal,
Not a lot of walks unless you took your life in your hands & crossed the canal via the lock gates (we didn't), no dog poo bins on the site so used the dustbins to dispose,
Overall a lovely site for a long weekend.

I made my enquiry using the form on here and they responded quickly and advised me they had a pitch available and told me the price and instructions for arrival.
The site is easy to find and has good links with the M1 and other major routes. I arrived and was met with gates and an intercom system lets you in. I met the owner and he was friendly, explained where everything was and gave us a key for direct access from the campsite to the canal path and pub next door.
The site is immaculate, what a well kept site, each pitch was pretty level, some were hardstand, some were grass, all had electric and water points. We went in the corner and there was quite a lot of road noise, but this did not affect us too much. Choosing a pitch further from the road would be better.
Facilities were made up of 4 rooms, each with toilet, shower and sink and all were immaculate. Showers were temp controlled and were not the annoying push button types. Plenty of nice little seating areas and some bbq's dotted around which I guess are for the guests. There was an outside seating area with a fire pit, presumably communal for all to use.
The site is right on the canal and offers loads of walks in each direction. I did not take a stroll this time, but will do on next visit. I also did not visit the pub next door, but will try it out next time.
Close to major roads, so loads of choice for shops, etc. And places to visit include Leighton Buzzard, Bletchley Park, Whipsnade Zoo and so much more.
I spotted nothing for children expect loads and loads of open space for them to play on, so this is perfect for children who prefer not to be glued to a screen.
Each pitch had electric hook-up if you wanted it and we paid £22. 50 for the night for two adults, one dog in a campervan.
I will be back as I did not explore the walks enough on this visit

Nice big site in a great location.
It has a nice pub just at the entrance if you want a pint or 2.
Being next to a canal there are lots of nice walks as well.
Bring levellers as the main field is not that flat depending on what plot you get.

Such a shame ! Great location, good facilities but spoilt by the grass cuttings left everywhere, my van is now going to need a complete clean.
I have stayed here several times in the past but my last visit will probably be my last
