  • 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-kept campsite with excellent food at the on-site pub, praised for its delicious home-cooked meals. Staff are consistently described as welcoming and helpful. Facilities, while basic, are generally found to be clean and well-maintained. The site's proximity to Alton Towers is a significant draw. Some guests noted road noise, though many found it manageable or were provided with earplugs. A children's play area is a popular addition.

Non-electric grass campervan or tent pitch

Liked Nice relaxed campsite with all you need for a small site. Close to Alton towers,(20 mins),cant find cheaper site.
Nice milk vendor within 5 min walk.

Disliked Road was a little noisy, but that was due to road closure nearby meaning more road traffic than normal

Recommend to friends Visit again

In all suited our needs for a nights stopover
