What customers say

This spacious, peaceful marina site gets high marks for cleanliness and friendly staff. Enjoy the marina setting, cafe, and canal walks. Toilets and showers are modern and clean. Cafe hours, Wi-Fi, and on-site amenities were minor issues for some. A few found it pricey, but most want to return.

Unpowered grass tent site

Liked Lovely big campsite, lots of pitches to chose from and quiet. Cafe was wonderful.

Disliked Shower and toilet facilities inadequate for the amount of people on site and consistently had water and loo roll on the floor and appeared to only be cleaned once a day

Unpowered grass motorhome site

Liked Peaceful location and lots of space even on bank holiday weekend. Great Saturday afternoon entertainment and lovely to walk along the canal from the campsite.

Disliked Always a queue at toilet/shower facility. Could do with some separate toilets to showers. Didn't help that cleaning seemed to happen right at peak time in the morning.

Penny S.

Powered gravel caravan site

Liked Amazing site, lovely views and plenty of lovely walks.
Singer on over the weekend which was lovely to sit outside and listen too whilst having a drink in the lovely weather.

Disliked Toilet and shower block clean but after showering floor gets very wet which made the whole area wet and slippy as toilet and shower in the same room.
Not alot of toilets/showers for whole site especially if it's busy.

Debra S.

Unpowered grass motorhome site

Liked Just had a 3 night stay here on a non electric grass pitch (small campervan) . The camp fields are huge and we were very lucky that all other campers were very respectful and it was a very peaceful few days. We followed a canal walk from the booklet available in reception, hoping for a pub as the cafe closes at 8pm, but unfortunately it looks like the farmer may have removed the walking route markers as they disappeared as we reached a farm property. Unsure where to go and not wanting to trespass we headed back to the site. Wouldn't want to walk the road route due to no paths.

Disliked Needs more toilet/shower facilities, especially at the top of the camp fields. Cafe could do with more staff, nearly all tables had uncollected, dirty plates etc on them for a long time, encouraging wasps. Long wait for food considering it was quite a basic/easy menu.

Unpowered grass tent site

Liked What a find !! Spent 3 nights and explored the area. On arrival it was easy to access the tent field, pitches were flat and loved that we could pitch where we wanted, loads of space, very nice clean and tidy field. Showers and toilets were great, cleaned regularly….. ok they can get a bit messy when wet but bring flip flops and no problems at all. Water always hot and plenty of loo roll, hand soap. Washing up facilities were always clean and tidy again loads of hot water. The grounds of the marina are well kept. Used the cafe for lunch and drinks on sat afternoon while listening to the music. 2 lovely pubs both walking distance if you like a walk. Staff were helpful and a big thanks to the lady on reception who told us about the walk to Church Minshull….. loved the walk into the village. Will definitely return

Disliked Disliked nothing really only that we had to leave

Powered gravel caravan site

Liked Marina, cafe, dog walks

Disliked Touring van area needs some TLC

Not enough waste bins

Toilets/showers need cleaning more frequently as the floors get filthy…..or put individual mop/buckets in each toilet/shower facility so visitors can clean as they go.

Unpowered grass motorhome site

Liked The bathrooms were clean and the fields were great and well kept in a nice area

Disliked The cafe ruined the experience which will make sure we don’t return.. forgetting full orders twice between me and my friends, which would have been understandable but to then be followed up by terrible attitude from staff when asked where the meals were. Even getting to the point of having to show my bank payment to them to finally get my order and not getting a single apology.
We also got told entertainment was at 6 here which wasn’t true at all.
My friend also hired the teepee tents from here which are way overpriced, their “electrical access” is just a small power bank which often doesn’t work the fairy lights. This was an issue for most of the teepees barring one.

Phil j.

Powered gravel caravan site

Liked Sitting down, and watching the sun go down over the canal with a nice glass of wine.

Disliked The site has become very busy and noisy, kept awake on the first night due to our neighbours being loud well into the early hours.
There after the camping site in the back field was very noisy every night well into the early hours, every night we had to got to bed with the radio on or using ear plugs.

Also for the amount of people on site, there wasn't enough toilets and showers.

Recommend to friends Visit again

Lovely stay, will be back! Thank you

From the manager: Thanks for your kind words! We're so glad you enjoyed the facilities, café, and spacious pitches. We really appreciate your suggestions too – adding water points and considering fire pits are great ideas, and we’ll take them on board. Hope to see you again soon!

Local attractions

Aqueduct Marina and Caravan Park's Cheshire location and easy access from the M6 means it's in a most handy spot to get to heaps of tourist attractions around this part of the north west and Chester. A popular option in the area is Oulton Park, the racing track in the little village of Budworth that bills itself as the most picturesque track in all the land, or you could hike around the wilds of nearby Delamere Forest, or stick to lazy days and potter around small Cheshire villages like Tattenhall and Tarporley. Chester is also easily accessible from the caravan park and has heaps to see among its old streets and swish shops. Animal fans make their way to Chester Zoo on the outskirts of the city to see as many as possible of its 12,000+ animals and over 400 species; if nature is your animalish thing, also get along to the Blue Planet Aquarium and its 100 or so living displays including the biggest school of sharks in Europe. Green fingered? Clear the car boot and drive over to Bridgemere, one of the biggest garden centres in the world and with all things gardenlike as well as toys and clothes in its mammoth shopping centre.
