We are a small, award winning, family run campsite just outside Alton in Staffordshire with glorious views over rolling countryside and the Weaver Hills and yet within easy reach of Alton Towers, the Peak District, the Staffordshire Way and the world famous Potteries. We are ideally located for adrenalin filled days at Alton Towers (2 miles), great walking and cycling from the gate, brilliant pubs and of course the Peak District National Park just 20 minutes away.
We have 30 well spaced pitches (17 Hard Standing, 4 Super Grass and 9 Grass) all with electric hook-up and stunning views over the Churnet Valley. See our site map.
We welcome families, friends and couples and we offer Exclusive Use hiring for special occasions from family gatherings for a Big BIrthday to Weddings. Our guests love the open spaces for football, BBQs and fun. Please get in touch to discuss your special event.
Free WiFi now available.
