About the site


Set in the heart of the Cheshire countryside with a raft of tourist attractions within just a 30 minute drive. Hardstanding pitches are suitable for caravans, motorhomes and trailer tents up to 28 feet in length. These are situated in a two acre, mostly level field with a hedged boundary. Hard surfaced access roads lead to a mixture of hard standing pitches, either fully serviced pitches with 16 amp electric, or all-weather pitches with 10 amp electric. The 6.5 acre camping and rally field is suitable for tents, caravans or motorhomes and caravan rallies. The field has views across the Cheshire Plain to the Pennines and offers 51 large, electric hook-up pitches with a mix of 10A and 16A hook ups. There is also a childrens' play area tucked away in the corner for new friends to be made. The site also offers seasonal pitches, long term stays and a self catering chalet. The park is dog friendly and provides a large dedicated dog walking area.

A note from the site themselves...

Our site is beautifully kept. Everyone tells us that. Our staff work tirelessly to keep everything spotless. Our toilet block is our most reviewed amenity, because we keep it immaculate, even on our busiest weekends. And we have the sort of soft toilet roll that you'd get at home! No scrimping on the basics!

Our pizza hut is so popular our regulars will only book if it's on that Friday! It gets sold out week after week and that's because the pizzas are delicious. We have been making them for 8 years now and we think we've got it off to a fine art! You'll have to try them to find out!
