  • Peaceful setting overlooking the Cheshire Plain, close to Whitchurch
  • On National Cycle Route 47, and near Sandstone Trail walkers’ path
  • Within easy reach of pubs with gin nights and authentic curries
Looking for a peaceful spot where you don’t have to sacrifice the luxury of nearby pubs and restaurants? Head to Cheshire site Marbury Camp and Lodge, where you can look out over the Cheshire Plain by day and devour pub grub by night – the team on site can point you towards gin evenings and excellent curries… a winning combo after a day of exploring. Speaking of exploring, there are enough walks and bike routes around to ensure you get your fill of countryside. The site is right on a national cycle route so make sure you pack your bike helmet – the site owners can help with bike hire and a map of the local cycle routes too. If walking is more your thing you can link up with the Sandstone Trail for 34 miles of unbroken, and often elevated, walking. The outdoor adventures don’t stop there, as this place is a great base for golfing, shooting and fishing as well, with all found within around four miles of the site. Worn out just by reading the activities dotted around? There’s also plenty to do if you’re after a more chilled day. The nearby local market towns of Whitchurch (three miles away) and Nantwich (eight miles) have various market days and plenty of shopping, eating and drinking options. Supplies can also be sourced closer to home in the village of Wrenbury, a mile away. Site amenities include a shower block and chemical disposal, and there's also the option to hire firepits (subject to availability).

Paul R. The reviewer booked through Pitchup.com

Electric optional grass tent pitch

Liked: We were looking for a quiet, compact site for a reintroduction to camping. Marbury Camp & Lodge ticked those boxes and then some.

David was very welcoming, popping over once we were pitched to check that we were happy and if we had any questions. Our pitch was generous in size and gave us beautiful views of the countryside and wildlife (and the illuminated oak tree at night!).

The facilities were spotless, grass and roads well maintained, and there is clear signage throughout the site. The enclosed dog walking field near the entrance was very handy. The “Pizza Baa” (open most Saturday evenings), was a brilliant feature. David’s pizzas are delicious!

It is clear that David and his family take great pride in their site. They listen to their visitors and work hard to provide an excellent site. We would happily visit again and will be recommending to our family and friends.

Claire S. The reviewer booked through Pitchup.com

Electric optional grass tent pitch

Liked: Just returned from this site and stayed an extra night as we liked it so much.
Beautiful setting with fabulous views in all directions, very peaceful, immaculate facilities, great dog walking field, lots of open space for children to play, large pitches with a picnic table on each pitch, firepits for hire, only a few miles to Whitchurch for shopping and restaurants and close to the canal for walks. This was our first time at this site but it is now one of our favourites and we will be back again and again

Disliked: Not a dislike but bins near to the camping field would be really handy

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Really appreciate the review.

As to the bins, they were originally 1100litre plastic bins at the top of the site but a) campers
repeatedly dumped mattresses, full tents, chairs etc in them and so filled them in an afternoon (and we only have fortnightly collections) and b) quite commonly set them on fire by disposing of still burning cheap bbqs and fire pits.

The 12 cubic yard at the entrance to the site is still occasionally set on fire but it’s metal which helps, and campers usually struggle to carry burning hot ash down the hill without realising it’s still on fire. It’s also too big and ugly to have at the top of the site, and not safe for a bin lorry to come up to the top where there are kids playing. If I am about I will happily transport your rubbish in the buggy.

Cheers

Electric optional grass tent pitch

Liked: Efficiently run campsite - no hassle at all from beginning to end. Clean facilities. I didn't use it but could see a freezer area. Fire pit and wood reasonably priced and can be purchased online.

Disliked: A bit too noisy for me (motor homers/dogs) but that's personal preference. It a socialable site.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Aloha,

Thanks for the review. Are we talking about noise after 10pm? Our rules are reasonable noise before 10. Quiet after 10. There were no noise issues raised when you stayed.

Cheers,

D

If you're thinking of a little night away camping this site is boss!!!

Electric optional grass tent pitch

Liked: Fantastic site, everything offered was available. Staff on hand to offer advice and support. Was very surprised at the extremely high standard of toilet and shower facilities.

Out in the sticks with breathtaking views across fields and countryside, they have a dog walking area and have beehives making locally sourced honey.

Definitely a hill walkers delight, or a car drivers expert driving on the tight country lanes...proper lost in the country experience with nothing but peace, quiet and beautiful country air.

We'll be back for another stay, maybe it'll be the dogs putting the tents up next time...they've slept like logs since we got back.

Disliked: Nothing spoils the beauty of nature...

Local attractions

Marbury Camp and Lodge is on the National Cycle Network's Route 47, a fine option for leisure riders, serious biking types and all those in between. There are also walks in all directions, with the Sandstone Trail walkers’ haven around 12 miles from the site. For a spot of sightseeing, set out to soak up the culture at a number of churches and castles nearby. For some gothic architecture head to Combermere Abbey (around 10 minutes' drive) or Cholmondeley Castle Gardens (about 15 minutes). The medieval Beeston Castle (20 minutes) comes with spectacular views and a 40-acre woodland park to amble about in. Several of the surrounding towns have a lot to offer here. As well as Whitchurch there's also Nantwich (15 minutes), known for its listed buildings and annual cheese show (yum). Crewe is also a short drive away (about half an hour) if you still haven’t got your fill of eating, drinking, shopping and sightseeing.
