  • A 10-minute drive from Alton Towers and Uttoxeter Racecourse
  • Large family-friendly bar and restaurant with events and takeaways
  • Spacious beer garden with play area and large climbing frame
Up for theme park thrills? New Broom Camping and Caravan Site is 10 minutes' drive away from Alton Towers – and has a comfy number of amenities to have you sorted on site too. Set in two peaceful acres with flat grass pitches, the park has a traditional pub (which is both large and family-friendly) with a family restaurant. There's also a big beer garden with a play area. And it's all in the small Staffordshire village of Checkley, a short drive away from Uttoxeter Racecourse and The Potteries as well as Alton Towers. The pub serves decently priced drinks and meals including carvery, cooked breakfasts and pizza (pizza is available for takeaway too). It's got a pool table for evenings of friendly competition, and hosts regular events such as rock nights, tribute nights and darts nights. New Broom also has a toilet/shower facility that guests can use free of charge, 24 hours a day.

What customers say

This is a friendly, well-maintained campsite with clean facilities and excellent food at the on-site pub. Pitches are generally spacious and level, and the staff are consistently praised for being welcoming and helpful. While some guests mention road noise, earplugs are provided. It's considered a great base for visiting Alton Towers. Manager replies indicate issues such as toilet cleaning and dog mess are actively addressed.

Pub Car Park non-electric hardstanding touring pitch

Liked We had a lovely stay here in our campervan. The campsite was easy to find and had a really family-friendly atmosphere. The pub on site was a nice bonus, and although we didn’t try the food, it looked great. The facilities were clean and well maintained, and we thought it was very good value for money. Would happily stay again!
