  • 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.

Andrew E. The reviewer booked through Pitchup.com

Electric optional hardstanding and grass touring pitch

Liked: !!!! Lovely hosts, absolutely top drawer
The pictures that represent the site are fantastic... beyond fantastic, but very clever... maybe not reality.
Pub... loved the dog friendly pub, which is all of 5 mins walk, but we didn't eat

Disliked: Being camped in a car park, OK, what you need to know is obviously its the poorer weather and there are no grass pitches which means you are in a car park. It's a nice car park compared to some I have stayed in, but we won't be back until grass pitches are available.... if we ever do.
The Building site compound was a big dissapointment.

Electric optional hardstanding and grass touring pitch

Liked: Warm welcome in stormy conditions. As first time campers we were treated like family as they not only took time to share information on the Site and facilities being attentive to our needs but also with warmth and light humour which is what we needed after a 3 hour journey through heavy rain with thunder and lightning. Though we only stayed one night we left feeling like we’d known them for years. So so friendly and helpful.

Disliked: Nothing to dislike

Electric optional hardstanding and grass touring pitch

Liked: The 2 most helpful and kind gentleman. We drove to Staffordshire 4 plus hours to buy our caravan and didn't get into the site till 10 o'clock at night. They where both there with torches to help us out and where chatty and friendly. The campsite was clean and well maintained. Close to amenities you can walk next door to get tea bags. We would definitely stay here again. Thanks James and the other gentleman (forgot to get your name!) For making this experience fun Instead of a disaster! The site is immaculately clean and nice and quiet. Loads of gorgeous walking in the area and a great looking pub just down the road.
