(ST19 5RH) Park Gate Leisure

sympathique propriétaire, venue à notre rencontré pour nous installé, courant disponible si vous voulez, cadre charmant

Great overnight spot, perfect to just leave the M6, close to a canal lock, we planned to spend one but stayed two nights, owners are friendly and welcoming, electric available on two of the parking spots, fresh water available and waste water drop….town of Penkridge is about 30 minutes walk along the canal, and has all you need. This is exactly what a park for night should be….

En route pour l’Ecosse, une étape pour la nuit, accueil sympa, près d’un canal et d’une écluse. 2/3 places avec électricité, beaucoup de matériaux de tous genres! Nous avons bien dormi pas de bruits!

Bien pour passer une nuit sur la route de l Ecosse.Parking sans charme dans un chantier de bateaux. Équipements de vidange fait de bric et de broc .Cependant accueil agréable et joli petit canal à proximité. Pour l instant nous n avons pas été emballés par les lieux de stationnement utilisés.

Perfect stop for us heading North. Very quiet at night and the Boat Inn, around a mile and a half stroll along the tow path was great for a nice meal to get the holiday started. Watching the narrow boats using the lock 10m from the van was great. Owners couldn’t have been more helpful, and the location, around 10 minutes from the M6 was ideal. Will 100% stay here again on our next venture north.

Great motorhome aire, lovely, helpful couple. Only few minutes from M6. Waste and fill-up facilities, electric hook-up. Everything you need for a stop-over, nice canal walk for the dog.

Fantastic place for an overnight stop. 15 minutes off m6, with electric, drinking water, grey and black water dumps, and the nicest staff, all for £14, (£10 without ehu). Oh, and not forgetting the canal, locks, barges and an excellent pub called The Boat a mile walk up the tow path with exceptional food and staff. What more do you need!

Great place to stay with lovely walks. The owner went above and beyond to help me with a small issue caused by someone else. He needn’t have done that. Thanks.Hope to be back soon

Very nice everything you need. Nice to watch the boats go by.

Fantastic place to stay, extremely friendly and helpful staff. canal walks, country walks, beautiful scenery with lots of deers around. ☆☆☆☆☆

Lieu parfait pour nous avec la cassette pleine, plus d'eau du tout et la fatigue. Merci à ce très gentil monsieur qui est venu de suite nous renseigner. Prix parfait également et nuit calme. Je recommande. Nous avons pu observer une péniche dans l'écluse : superbe.

What a fabulous place! Right next to the canal lock where you can sit and watch the world go by. Easy walks in both directions along the canal path to nearby village and pubs. Lovely owners and close to the m6 for convenience. Entrance over hump back bridge but our 7.4m van had no problems

Al llegar nos atendió el dueño de la casa de enfrente con mucha amabilidad y nos indico donde estacionar. Nos alojamos una noche y todo genial, nos sentimos muy cómodos y seguros. una parada en el camino para recargar de todo. recomiendo paseo por el canal y visitar el pueblo.

Very convenient set up. Super friendly staff. Just stopped to empty and refill. 5pound. Stopped to watch a couple of boats pass through the canals. Highly recommend.

Stopped for a service, was £5 and accepted card. Shop was very well stocked with spare parts for campers. Dropped grey and black waste and filled up water without a hassle. Staff friendly and helpful

Great spot for an overnight stop. Very peaceful and away from traffic and lovely owner. About a 15 minute walk from Penkridge main town. Also nice to see the boats pass by from the pitch area

Arrived to a very friendly welcome from the owners. A lovely park up for such a reasonable price. We were on the non electric side so lovely views of the fields. Walked along tow path to the Moat House hotel for a sneaky pint about a mile and a half. Also walked along the other way which was a pleasant walk. Would highly recommend as a stopover.

On s’y est arrêté juste pour vidanger eaux grises et noires.Très bon accueil. (Payé 5 livres).

Arrived last minute Sunday afternoon 4th Feb on way home..Warm friendly welcome as usual...very helpful owners... highly recommended.

Booked ahead for overnight on journey south. very convenient for M6 staff very helpful on the phone and also when we arrived. Sleeped fine despite hum from M 6. would definitely use again, may use to explore area. Couldn't fault site.

Stopped to empty toilet. Very friendly people at the shop. No charge. Thank you.

We can not praise this one enough. yes, it's near M6 but that's a plus for convenience. we stayed 2 nights over the weekend level tarmac for 3 overlooking the lock and canal extra parking at the bottom of the site looking towards open fields Owners are super friendly and helpfull Well stocked chandlery shop on site we walked along the canal to the Boat pub for Sunday lunch will stay again

Non electric parking. On a car park edge next to a boatyard had cars passing constantly. Smoke from a fire nearby. Not designated park up, just abandoned staring at an old tractor and trailer, old caravans etc Scrap yard look. Drums. Metal. Even a recovery truck stoped by us? A star for helpful shop staff. Anotherfor the facilities. seems an afterthought and surprised by the 5 stars here. No gd

Very peaceful overnight stay. I think there were 2 EHU which are hardstanding. Non-ehu on the grass. About 30 min casual walk up the canal to the boat pub (which also offers free overnight stays if you eat there)

Stopping here for the night to brake up the journey home and I can only say great value safe and comfortable and very accommodating I wish more nice people would offer up spare space for a great price

Molto gentili. Solo carico e scarico a 5£

All as others have stated. Very helpful staff. Ideal stopover to break a journey. Priced spot on so your not being ripped off. You can book ahead as we did . Just look up “ Park Gate Leisure “. We will certainly keep it in mind for future trips.

Ottimo posto per passare la notte ! Il proprietario molto gentile e disponibile . Credo massimo 5 camper in corte privata e forse qualcuno davanti casa

Good stopover, £14 for all facilities and £10 without EHU. A private flat tarmac carpark facing the canal lock. Lots of boats to watch coming and going. A very pleasant canal walk takes you to the nearest pub or shops. Lovely helpful owner and shop for supplies if needed. Highly recommended we got the best night sleep here despite some traffic noise as mentioned in other comments.

Great stop over Only £10 , extra for electric if required Slight hum of motorway in the distance that’s all Right by canal lock so great watching boats going thru All emptying , fresh water bins And chandlers with lots of stuff for boats and vans and t bags soup juice loo rolls all the basics - friendly helpful folk Recommend

ok per una notte....

Proprietari gentili e molto disponibili, posto tranquillo in campagna vicino l’uscita dell’autostrada.Abbiamo trovato altri camperisti altrettanto simpatici.Adiacente ad un piccolo canale con una chiusa per il passaggio delle barche. (Vendita di prodotti per il camper)

Fantastic parkup for the night would highly recommend. Super friendly and nothing was a problem. We loved watching the boats coming in and out, also had an amazing dog walk down the side of the canal.

Great place for a stop over we where happy with our stay but as they say you can’t please all of the people all of the time.

Great safe place for overnight parking with services. Owner is very friendly and helpful!

Stopped over and must say yes you hear the distant m6. But it’s not bad. Plus for the £10 you get to throw rubbish, fill up with water numerous times, drain your waste water and empty your loo. All for £10 and visitors comments moan. Omg. If nothing else it’s a service point. It’s safe and away from the main road. We walked to Penkridge on the canal to the pubs. Owners in shop are so helpfull

We stopped here for one night based on reviews. I can not agree with most comments. It is very noisy (motorway), not particularly attractive and overpriced for what is simply the parking area for an industrial unit. However the owners were very polite and helpful.

Excellent park up, really friendly welcome, EHU, water, black waste, grey waste & rubbish bins. Flat tarmac parking 5m from the canal locks, slight noise from motorway. Would recommend £14pn - benivanadventures

Excellent stopover, we use regularly when travelling north. Friendly and helpful owner

Great stop over. Thank you.

Great stop over right next to the canal and a lock so plenty of walking opportunities. £10 or £14 with hook up. Flat parking with the view of the lock. Small rumble from the motorway noise but nothing major. Would stop again.

Super netter Empfang vom Inhaber. Standen direkt am Kanal und konnten Problemlos Grau- und Schwarzwasser entleeren und Wasser auffüllen. Mit Strom für die Nacht haben wir 14£ bezahlt. Geräusche der Autobahn sind relativ laut, hat uns aber nicht groß gestört.

um local lindo e único, melhor local que paramos até agora não Inglaterra, o senhor que nos atendeu muito simpático dou nota 10 estrelas para todos local e o senhor que nos atendeu. q

Excellent pour passer une nuit au calme. Accueil parfait. Avons salué les plaisanciers en péniche et les pêcheurs. Promenade au frais le long du canal. De l’espace suffisant pour que les enfants jouent au ballon et qu’on sortent la table pour manger dehors.

Super, l’accueil toujours aussi chaleureux. Nous avons de la place et le service toujours aussi efficace. Merci aux gérants

Nous y sommes ! Pas facile à trouver et passage du pont étroit. L’accueil est super et l’espace pour le camping-car très grand avec de l’herbe !

Superamables. Llegamos un sábado por la tarde y nos preguntaron si necesitábamos agua, vaciar el WC etc. Les comentamos si podía ser por la mañana al día siguiente y sin problemas! Quedamos en domingo a las 7.00 h y a las 7.15 h ya rodábamos con WC limpio, cargados de agua y vacios de grises. Perfecto! 10£ sin electricidad

Fantastic service. Super helpful guy who owns the place. Able to fill up water, empty grey waste and empty toilet cassette too. All for £5 and a few ice lollies. Would recommend!

Brilliant stop, only stopped for water, but chatted to the chap there and brilliantly helpful. I will be back one night for certain.

Joli petit coin pour s'arrêter une nuit. Accueil sympathique. 14 livres avec électricité. Les passages d'ecluse sont sympa à regarder. Petite balade le long du canal. Un peu bruyant à cause de l'autoroute proche, mais rien de méchant.

exception stopover, freindly welcome, good service. Pity abput the background traffic noise but not overpowering.

Exactly what we look for when staying away, peaceful and beautiful! Very friendly and a great location.

Not too much I can add to previous reviews. A super park-up, friendly reception from the lady in the White House (just knock the door if you need anything). Close to the motorway so some noise but not excessive. We were the only van here the night we stayed.

Great place for an overnight or longer. Super helpful folk and a well stocked Chandler shop. Canal boats are really floating camper vans!

Faultless, and a lovely location too!

fantastic place to stop over very helpful and friendly follk, parked right at the lock gates, great stocked shop here and facilities all here OK 10 pounds a night can't beat it , recomen this 100%, open all year

All the comments are spot on, stayed there last night, super place and exceptionally friendly owner. Nothing was a problem

Ideal place for a stopover in the area. Really friendly welcome. Very reasonably priced. situated by a canal lock, where you can watch the boats. Plenty of stock in the chandlery if you need to top up with anything.

What an amazing find. Small,family run business with friendliest owners ever. Lovely flat pitch,EHU,emptied our recycling & slept like a log. Seemed flexible on arrival/departure times,just very nice,helpful people. Shop also excellent,stocked up on tea bags & kitchen roll as well as buying some draft excluder strips - they really did have everything. Would go out of my way to stay here again!

Nice quiet stay facing the canal, owners very friendly and helpful. Would come again, nice and chilled

Great park up by the lock. The store has all the essentials. Spares for Motorhome/ caravans / canal boats. They also stock essential food items. There a some great walks along the towpath or up into the surrounding countryside. What three words location :- rubble.repayment.scream not far from the M6 jct 12, northbound 10 minute drive. South bound jct 13, 11 minute drive.

Superb Stopover.....very friendly helpful people, would highly recommend.

Great little park up for us heading back from North Wales to London. very laid back. if only there were more place like this.

Just called here to empty cassette and fill with water. What lovely people. So very helpful. Call at the store. They have only had the store 4 months and got great plans to add EHU and other facilities.

Second visit. Daniel sorted us from the shop by canal. Great range of stuff for the Campervan. We didn’t use hookup but it’s available. Did empty black waste. Great walking down canal to village.

Great spot, Charlotte was very welcoming. 8 boats have been through the lock this morning and it's only 10.30am, make that nine! Leisure equipment store as well. Hope to visit again soon.

When you arrive Go over the canal bridge and park gate leisure will welcome you and not in the road the owner is fantastic
