  • Small, friendly Staffordshire campsite in the rural village of Hixon
  • Shugborough Hall 15 minutes’ drive and Alton Towers half an hour
  • Dog-friendly pitches with electric hook-ups; pub five minutes’ walk
Heading Staffordshire way? If you’re after somewhere small and friendly to lay your head, make a beeline for Oak Deer Country Park in the rural village of Hixon. This peaceful and well-tended site has far-reaching rural views and on clear, cloudless days you’ll be rewarded with spectacularly colourful sunsets. The pitches have facilities including drinking-water standpipes and pay-as-you-go electric hook-ups, plus a unisex toilet. Several lights come on around the site so you can walk safely after dark – however, these go off at midnight. Right next to the campsite is a field dedicated to exercising your four-legged companions; for longer walkies you can follow a public footpath along the Trent and Mersey Canal (20 minutes’ stroll) and across the surrounding farmland. Just please keep your dogs on a lead and under control around the site, and pick up any droppings. There are also lots of handy amenities close at hand; you can walk to a convenience store, a couple of takeaways and a pub in less than five minutes.

Electric optional hardstanding and grass touring pitch

Liked: Laid back & spacious site. James was very friendly and helpful getting us sorted with EHU. We had 2 dogs and they were very welcomed, co-op at the entrance to the site, pub, chippy & Chinese within short stroll. Definitely will be staying again.
