Interesting location with canal marina as well as canal path walks both ways. conveniently close to M5 but that did give some motorway noise. pitches were level with individual grey water drain and tap as well as electrics. communication was good and given pitch number in advance was very helpful. facilities new clean, combined shower / toilet room and push button shower with no adjustment for temperature with limited. hooks. Would use again.
Our first CL and hoping they'll all be like this one!
Stayed on this site, our first CL, on the way up to the Lake District and on the way back.
Excellent directions to the site when you book and easy access from the M5 (junction 5).
15 hardstanding pitches all fully serviced with 16amp EHU, water and waste.
2 shower/basin/wc 'pods' also on site both always clean and very handy.
Elsan point and bins (no recylcing). £25 a night. Friendly check in both times.
Easy walk into Droitwich Spa which is a lovely town with literally everything you could need.
Waitrose supermarket, pubs, restaurants, cafe's and loads of takeaways.
We ate in the Old Cock Inn (oldest pub in town) on the Friday night (pie night - £7.50 bargain!).
Plenty of walks along the canal for a bit of gongoozling! Closest pub to the site is a short walk up a couple of lanes and sits right on the canal. Didn't eat there but did enjoy a pint sat outside overlooking the barges and stroll back along the towpath back into the Marina.
We loved it here and will definitely use again when we're heading north.
Highly recommendel
We were travelling up to Scotland and used this site as a stopover it was a lovely clean site, we had booked and were given our pitch number, the directions were spot on and we would not hesitate in staying here again.

not for us
arrived parked up and found not a CL site 13 parking places ,Did not see owner , Ok if used as a stop over but noise from m5 spoiled stay wont be going again , Was like being parked at motor way services
Passed by many times, now stayed and will return
Stopped for 2 nights and price was £50. Many people use this as an overnighter on the way by from the M5, you can see the motorway from the site and the traffic noise is no bother. The shower/toilet pods were clean and excellent to use and unexpected . We walked into Droitwich Spa along the busy road, only as the towpath route was rather soggy. The layout is good with large hardstandings. 16A EHU, tap and drain on each pitch. Appears to be lots of footpaths and the main canal accessed just up the road. Droitwich Spa has its lovely park and heated lido in the summer. Local supermarkets include Morrisons and Waitrose. Handy for the M5, also has a train station. Fair enough it is not a five unit CL, but I have a feeling if club members don’t use it, it will end up being an expensive commercial site.
Great Place to visit the area
Fabulous place, we stopped over 3 nights and with a service pitch too (which we never use usually) The price was all in with 4 of us on board and at half term too the stay was over £100 cheaper than a club site. Many people use this as an overnighter on the way by from the M5, you can see the motorway from the site and the traffic noise is no bother. The shower/loo pods were clean and excellent to use too. We walked into Droitwich to get the train to Worcester (9 mins on the train) and next day walked to Hanbury hall via canal and footpath to the estate. I wish we'd taken our bikes but that will be next visit here.
The layout here and the ease of check in etc would be a great model for overnight/2 or 3 day stays at a club site.... hardstand, hook up and loo/shower no frills and make them cheaper than taking a long stay pitch...this is very motorhome friendly
Not a CL
A great location at a lovely marina. 20 mins walk along canal to Droitwich Spa, plenty of eateries and pubs and takeaways. Easy access from M5, Good access to canal towpaths for walks/rides, footpaths straight from site, nice well kept grass, nice views, spacious pitches, fully serviced, all hard standing and most of pitches are level except for the bottom five.
This is where it stops being a CL. Total of 16 pitches which were full on our visit plus two tents, and only two toilet/ shower pods for the whole site. M5 can be seen from site and noise is heard all day and night. We would return again though 🙂👍🏻
Neat little site
Lovely clean tidy site with 2 very clean little pod showers ,which we weren’t expecting. Easy walk along towpath to nice pub by canal serving nice food. Easy cycle to Hanbury Hall along a footpath, well worth a visit. Just off the motorway which you could hear but not a bother. All in all lovely stay will definitely return.

A gem of a CL. Ideal for visiting Droitwich & Worcester.
We stayed 4 nights April / May 2023. We are generally ralliers so a dripping tap is what we are used to. The super pitch was a treat, and almost idiot proof. (Thank you to the kind Welshman who pointed out you have to turn the power off before removing the plug)
We had planned our stay around the St Richards canal & beer festival. We love beer & live music. The festival provides both in good measure, we can thoroughly recommend the event.
A steady 25 minute walk along the towpath in to Droitwich is easy and a chance to view the canal and wild life. We rode our bikes a few times, a very pleasant and easy ride.
Droitwich is a pleasant small town, well worth a mooch round. A little further is Worcester, the Cathedral and city is definitely woth taking time to visit.
The site is really well laid out with plenty of room between pitches, noise from the motorway didn't bother us at all, and the lovely Mrs B is a very light sleeper.
We did lots of cycling, other campers were fishing, walking and kayaking, the rugby club is next door if that's your thing.
Overall a very good site in a very good location.
Unexpected delight
This site is only just off the M5, in fact you can see and hear the motorway but this is not a problem at all. The pitches are hard standing with water, electric and grey waste. There are 2 shower/toilets with heating! The Marina is host to 300 narrow boats on the canal, quite a sight! We had not planned to stay here but were flooded on our previous site so had to move but were really delighted with this site. It is worth spending a few days here en route as the tow path takes you to Droitwich Spa one way or the pub and Hanbury Hall (NT) the other. Part of the joy of motor homing to us, is exploring different parts of the UK and finding places that we didn't know existed!
