Liked: Great location for our visit to Milton Keynes (15 mins away). Peaceful setting next to the canal with a pub within easy walking distance, even easier if you get a key from reception to use the canal-side locked gate. Friendly team and clean facilities. Good shower block with self contained bathrooms. The road and rail noise didn’t concern us - I don’t think it’s as bad as some reviews suggest - it quietens down the later it gets. We’ll stay here again gladly if we’re in the area again.
Disliked: Only one wash up area seen. Found someone washing their dirty crockery in a bathroom rather than waiting. Not sure the ration of bathrooms and washing up facilities are matched to the size of the campsite. Wasn’t too busy for our stay so can’t speak for busy summer time. No specific kids play area but it was refreshing to put some cricket stumps up and have some old school games.

Liked: It's a very nice little site that is well-kept. It's near to the canal and has a pub with a lovely beer garden (on the canal) next door. There are lots of shops within a 7-minute if you need anything (Aldi, B and M, Tesco, McDonald's, KFC) as well as Leighton Buzzard's old town. The staff on the site were nice and helpful.
Disliked: Road and helicopter noise, but nothing that spoilt our stay.

Liked: Lovely location next to the Grand union canal, which is acceptable from the campsite. Toilet and shower facilities are very clean and tidy and are very spacious. Excellent base to explore the surrounding area. Added plus there is a lovely pub next door that does great food.
Disliked: Could do with more washing up facilities.

Liked: Great, laid-back site. Friendly meeting on arrival. Toilets absolutely spotless. It was great watching the working locks and a visit to the adjacent pub. Great situation for a visit to Bletchley Park.
Disliked: No working internet was perhaps our only disappointment.

Liked: Lovely location and great facilities. Stayed here one night to visit Bletchley Park and Whipsnade Zoo. Perfect location for both. Good number of very clean showers and toilets, and water on every pitch. Woukd definately stay here again. Enjoyed walking along the canal and seeing the boats, and the pub close by was nice for a drink and to watch the canal. Didn't eat there but the menu looked nice.
