What customers say

Great campsite with spotless facilities, top staff & spacious sites with ripper views. On-site pub's a winner for food & vibes. Well-kept, fab for families & dogs. A few more loos suggested, but punters love it and keep coming back.

Julie M.

Powered gravel caravan site

Liked We had a fairly level gravel pitch and a nice amount of grass, great for staking the dog, and a wooden picnic table with benches which as we were only there one night saved us fishing out our own table and chairs. We had a nice view across fields and an attractive wild flower bed.
The ladies shower block was clean (2 loos & 2 showers) and there was good "al fresco" washing up facilities just outside the block.
It was good that there was a field to exercise the dogs although it could be better cared for.
The location enabled us to meet up with people who live nearby.

Disliked The fact that we could not get dinner at the pub. We did try to book before arriving in the afternoon but it was a busy Saturday evening and they were full. There was only 2 of us and we'd have been very happy to have collected food and taken it back to the van had that been an option. We were told we could still get a pizza but when my husband went to order they said the weren't doing them anymore because the pub was busy.
The Royal Oak that we could have walked to was also full and despite deciding we would have to get back in the Motorhome, not ideal after arriving at your site after a long drive, we couldn't get a table at two further pubs, The Black Lake Inn had availability but told us they weren't dog friendly! Apparently they take Guide Dogs but not Hearing Dogs so beware!! I did point out that Hearing Dogs have the same legal rights as Guide Dogs but frankly by then I didn't want to go there anyway.
We will try C.B.'s again for an overnight stop but only if we can make a dinner reservation first.

Power optional grass caravan site

Liked Really enjoyed our 3 night stay here, pitch was a brilliant size and the site was beautiful! Met the owner who was lovely and all the staff were helpful too! Lots to do around the area on foot or a short drive away, we had some lovely walks with the dog. The pub, dog field and fire pits on site were fab additions, will definitely be returning. Thank you for a lovely stay, Grace, Lewis and Lyra 🐾

Local attractions

This is an ace base for trips to Alton Towers (20 minutes’ drive) for folk who fancy riding rollercoasters like the Nemesis and Oblivion. Spend one day scampering among the top-class attractions here, then slow things down the next with countryside explores. The Peak District National Park (around 25 minutes) is full of walking paths, while other spots like Trentham Gardens (20 minutes) are top for traipsing round too. If checking out cheeky creatures is more your bag, head to Trentham Monkey Forest (20 minutes) and wander among the free-roaming animals. Around 140 Barbary macaques live in the woodlands and meadows here – make sure to look up and spot them swinging through the trees. Once you’ve snapped pics of the primates, set your sights on some of the market towns scattered around the area. Stone, a settlement on the Trent and Mersey Canal (15 minutes), is well-regarded for its food and drink options, while Cheadle (55 minutes), just outside the wood-covered Churnet Valley and the scenic Staffordshire Moorlands, is worth stopping in too.
