Entrance

  • Pop-up family campsite on a working farm in quiet Cheshire countryside
  • Near the Cheshire and Shropshire border; Malpas five minutes' drive
  • Play area and picnic tables; meet the friendly on-site animals
Cheshire sites don’t come much more family-friendly than Magical Malpas PYO Farm, a back-to-basics spot on a friendly, family-run working dairy and pick-your-own farm. This simple pop-up site has a small number of pitches on neatly mown fields, and is a five-minute drive from pubs and convenience stores in the historic market town of Malpas. Simple on-site facilities include four toilets (one with a baby changing station) and wash basins with cold running water. Picnic tables and a children's play area add spaces for you to unwind. Just take note that there are no shower facilities, wifi, electric hook-ups or drinking water; you will need to bring your own drinking water. One extra perk at this site is the animals that are on duty. You're welcome to meet Wilma and Betty, two Valais Blacknose sheep, and the goats Lily, Houdini, Luna and Kenny (the naughty one), as well as the site's two resident donkeys, Trevor and Lola. They're generally well-behaved, so interactions are welcome. If you can get your kids away from the animals, they will be chomping at the bit to get to BeWILDerwood Cheshire (10 minutes’ drive) and Chester Zoo (40 minutes).

Unpowered grass tent site

Liked We had a wonderful stay at this campsite. The location is peaceful and well-kept, perfect for a relaxing break. What really made the experience stand out were the owners. They were extremely friendly and welcoming. We spoke with them on a few occasions during our stay, and each time, they asked if we needed anything or if there was anything they could do to make us more comfortable.

Liked Such a lovely campsite for families with young kids. The girls (age 4 and 5) absolutely loved the playground and seeing all the animals on site.

We enjoyed renting the fire pit and roasting our marshmallows in the evenings.

Staff were fantastic with the kids. Also easily contactable or nearby in very easy to spot purple Malpas t-shirts.

In addition to the campsite, on the Sunday the role play cafe on site was open and the girls absolutely loved this and didn’t want to go home.

Unpowered grass tent site

Liked We have children 5 & 2. We really enjoyed this site, it’s a small site with a playground right next to the pitches, so kids can play within your eye line. There’s rabbits, donkeys, goats & sheep. The goats spent some time roaming round the site which was fun.
The atmosphere was perfect, there was about 15 pitches tops, all families with kids similar ages, all respectful which always helps.
Toilets clean, tuck shop with ice creams.
The staff couldn’t have done more, especially Nancy. All very welcoming.

Unpowered grass tent site

Liked Absolutely fantastic little place especially for young children. We stayed with our 3 year old triplets and had the best time. Play area, the animals and the play barn was exceptional and we will definitely be back! Staff are all very friendly and relaxed. Aldi, McD, pubs and parks close by.

Disliked Maybe a communal freezer so people can re freeze ice packs and a communal microwave.

Liked Magical Malpas was exactly what it said on the tin! I lovely family run farm perfect for my short stay with my toddler. Owners were great, when we had only booked for one night they let us stay another when my son begged me to stay! Toilets were clean and easily accessible. A great small farm you can see everything you need to from all of the pitches, liked that it wasnt proper assigned pitches and just able to pitch up wherever you liked (as long as there was space)

My little boy loved the play area and all of the animals - especially the goats who got out a few times for a walk and he could stroke them and brush them

Unpowered grass tent site

Liked Everything it was picture perfect
Lovely field with amazing views it was quiet and away from city life the animals were amazing my daughter loved the rabbits and spent most nights sitting in there pen with them
My son loved the goats and that they roamed free in the day they are very confident and would come up your tent the kids had to be on the look out when I was cooking and found this hilarious
The park was just at the bottom of the field kids could come and go and also to the toilets while it was light
Also plenty of picnic tables to lend if u can carry them

Disliked The wasps but this couldn't be helped because of the sunflowers there was wasp traps by the barn so brought some up and they worked

Unpowered grass tent site

Liked We loved everything about this site. We only stayed for one night, we arrived late afternoon Saturday plenty of space for me and my sister to set up our tents next to each other. Kids had loads of room to play and the park area we could see from our tents so it felt safe enough to let the kids go to the park. Kids loved looking at the animals.

Come evening time it was very peaceful no noise at all and we wasn't disturbed through the night we had a great nights sleep. The lady owner came round twice to see if we was ok and if we needed anything then to let her know. She was very nice and welcoming. And told us what was around the area and the local shops!

Toilets clean at all times.

We will be staying again.

Thank You
