About Canal Camping

The back-to-basics site is suitable for tents only, with no electric available. Spend the day canoeing or paddle boarding on the water, and come back to a burning brazier to toast your marshmallows and cook up a feast. There's space for up to 50 camping pitches, as well as chic bell tents which are furnished and set in their own private area.

Open from 1 May to 30 September
