We were looking for a site close to the NEC but not too close as most of the immediate sites will be full for this. After the recent awful rain i was advised to pitch on the 'commercial site' next door as it had hard standings. the itches themselves are not great, the hard standing is the width of a caravan with muddy grass that you have to step on when getting in and out of van. the whole site was tight and without a mover I am unsure how you would actually pitch up. I was unhappy that the facilities are shared with all the boaters and both sites. we were unable to get satellite as the trees are immediately behind you due south. there is a great pub 10 minute walk down the canal and the free wifi and serviced pitch was a bonus. I would return, but only when there has been prolonged dryness as it was too muddy.
