  • Green and serene site in the spectacular Staffordshire Moorlands
  • Alton Towers within a 20-minute drive and 30 to the Peak District
  • 3.5 acres of open fields, five minutes from restaurants and pubs
For rollercoasters and roams alike, head off on a hol to Springfields Countryside Caravan and Camping, a 3.5-acre site with a large open field for playing in off a peaceful lane with hilly views. It’s less than a 20-minute drive to the rides at Alton Towers, 15 minutes to the city of Stoke-on-Trent and 200 metres from the main road… but the spectacular Staffordshire Moorlands surrounds mean you wouldn’t have a clue that it's all so close by. Tear yourself away from the vistas and ponder eats: they’re varied in the local area, with pubs and restaurants as well as Indian and Chinese takeaways five minutes away by car. In charge of cooking? The supermarkets of Cheadle are your spots to stock up less than a 10-minute drive up the road. Once you’ve got your meals sorted, you could be skirting the edges of the glorious Peak District National Park in half an hour, ready to roam around traditional market towns like Buxton Spa. Other typically English things to do in this area include perusing the pottery at the popular Wedgewood Museum at World of Wedgewood (15 minutes’ drive) and Gladstone Pottery Museum (10 minutes) or riding the working steam Foxfield Light Railway and the Churnet Valley Railway (10 and 15 minutes away). Alternatively, you can make like you’re in Milan by having a gander at the Italian-style Trentham Gardens about 20 minutes down the road. As is fitting for such a countryside setting, barbecues and campfires are permitted on site, and there's a washing-up area to aid with the cleanup mission. Also on site are toilets and showers revamped for the 2020 season.

What customers say

Clean, tidy, friendly spot. Spacious pitches with water/elec. Excellent, spotless facilities. Owners are welcoming, views lovely. Good for families with a play area. Minor road noise, basic showers noted, but overall superb quality and owners' dedication means it's highly recommended.

Bell tent (deluxe)

Liked From the moment you arrive to the moment you leave you are made to feel so welcome, the couple who run the site are lovely, so helpful and kind. The facilities at Springfield are spotless and well maintained, they also have loads of little extras which really do give it a special touch. We will definitely be returning.

Disliked There is consistent but quiet road noise, but there is nothing the owners can do about that

From the manager: Thank you so much for your kind words! We're thrilled to hear you had such a lovely stay and enjoyed the facilities and our little herb garden. We look forward to welcoming you back the next time you're in the area!

Ready tent

Liked We had a wonderful short stay at Springfields caravan and camping ground.

We hired two ready tents and electrical tent pitch, Accommodated our three families with children from ages between 6-11yrs

Booking was easy and communication excellent — the team even called before our arrival to let us know one of our tents had been damaged in a storm and kindly upgraded us to a trailer with an awning. Sleeping arrangements changed slightly, but management quickly provided an extra camp bed so everyone was comfortable.

The facilities were spotless — clean toilets/showers, well-stocked kitchen, plenty of bins, and even a lovely herb garden. The small play area was the cutest — simple but full of imagination for little ones. We loved the book hut, information hut, and the little wooded area with hammocks. The atmosphere in the evenings was beautiful, with big moonlit skies and the sound of cows in the distance.

Management were super friendly, fair, and professional, even when dealing with a minor noise complaint. The grounds are tidy and full of wildflowers. The only downside was the number of wasps, but this seems to be an issue in the surrounding area, not just the campsite.

We’ve already recommended this site to friends and would happily return.

Thank you for making us feel so welcome!

We only stayed two night and didn’t venture far so cannot comment as to activities in the area

Disliked Slopped pitch (tent ehu)

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thanks for your lovely review! We’re so glad you and your families had a wonderful stay at Springfields. It was a pleasure to host you all.

We're delighted to hear that you found the booking process easy and that our team provided excellent communication. We always want to make sure our guests are comfortable, so we're happy we could resolve the tent issue quickly and get you settled. It's great to know that the upgraded trailer and extra camp bed worked out for you!

We take great pride in our facilities, so it’s fantastic that you found them to be spotless. We love that you enjoyed the special touches like our herb garden, book hut, and the wooded area with hammocks. We work hard to create a peaceful and welcoming atmosphere, and it's wonderful to hear that you appreciated the beautiful evenings and countryside sounds. We'll pass on your kind words to our management team, who were happy to help with the noise complaint in a fair and professional way.

We appreciate you mentioning the issue with wasps. Unfortunately, this August's very dry weather has created a perfect environment for a larger-than-usual wasp population. They're a significant part of the ecosystem, and their behaviour is often influenced by seasonal conditions. We do our best to manage them, but as you noted, it's a widespread issue in the area this year.

We also appreciate your feedback about the slopped pitch for the electrical hook-up tent. We'll certainly look into this to see what improvements we can make.

We hope to welcome you all back to Springfields again soon and are so glad you've already recommended us to your friends!

We also received your private feedback and we sincerely appreciate the apology. It's very thoughtful of you, and we're glad everything was resolved smoothly.

Staff super helpful and bonus was having an on site pizza van visit.

Liked Lovely site. Beautifully kept with gorgeous flower beds. Has a kettle, microwave and fridge freezer for use which is very handy. There is a very sweet cat who likes to come visit for cuddles....we have nick named her Dusty (fitting for a site called Springfield( ;).

Disliked I had a problem with the showers. One was freezing and the other very hot. Great site and close to Alton Tower's.

From the manager: Thank you so much for your lovely review! We're thrilled you enjoyed our site, the flower beds, and the handy kitchen facilities. We're also glad you got to meet our friendly site cat (that we think lives on the nearby farm—it sounds like she's quite the charmer!

We're sorry to hear you had an issue with the showers. We want to assure you that our showers are checked regularly and run on separate boilers. Each shower has its own thermostat that can be adjusted to your personal preference. We hope you'll come back and visit again soon!

Liked Great site in beautiful surroundings, pitches felt private, excellent facilities and really lovely welcoming owners. A huge amount of thought has gone into creating this site by people who really understand camping and care about their visitors.

Fully-serviced grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked beautiful view from our individualised pitch, personal fire pit was a lovely addition as was direct water access. Very close to Alton Tower which was the main reason for our trip. Helpful facilities including lawn games loan and local attractions directory (and washing up facilities). Loos and showers were fine with helpful hooks and shelves/benches in the latter

Disliked pitched close to the road we had a little road noise but not too much that it kept us awake. Walking to pubs means walking on the narrow lane (with said traffic!) but we managed it ok with 2 kids on bikes too.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for taking the time to leave such a thoughtful review. We're so glad to hear you enjoyed the beautiful views, the personal fire pit, and the direct water access from your pitch. It's also great that you found our facilities helpful, from the lawn games to the washing-up stations, and that the proximity to Alton Towers made your trip convenient.

We appreciate you bringing up the points about the road noise. We want to clarify for future guests that the noise you heard is from the A50, which is over a mile away, and its audibility can vary significantly depending on the wind direction. We are happy to confirm the traffic noise is not from Breach Lane. We're glad to hear that it wasn't so disruptive that it kept you awake, and we thank you for the feedback regarding the walk to the pubs. Safety is our priority, and we always advise guests to be cautious when walking on country lanes.

We hope to welcome you back again in the future!

We will be back with our grandkids definitely

From the manager: Thank you so much for your incredibly kind words about Springfields! We're genuinely so happy to hear that you enjoyed the personal touches, the large pitches, and the friendly atmosphere—it means a lot to us. We love that you appreciated the fairy lights, the shared kitchen, and, of course, our little doggy! (Scruff). Creating a safe and welcoming space, especially for solo female campers, is something we take great pride in, so we're thrilled that you felt secure.

We must admit, we were a little puzzled by the 7/10 rating given all the lovely things you had to say and that you couldn't find a single thing to dislike! We're always looking for ways to improve, so if there's anything you think we could do to make the experience a perfect 10/10 next time, please let us know.

Fully-serviced grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked Very nice small site, the owners/wardens who met us at the gate were a lovely couple. The pitch was spacious which included a fire pit and drinking water tap which is brilliant and the view from the pitch was very nice. A small park on site for our 3 year old was handy. The campers kitchen is a really good offering and very handy, the toilets were always clean and the showers were good (hot with decent pressure).
With it being a small site there was a really nice atmosphere at night.
Will recommend to friends and family and will definitely be returning as it’s only 15mins from home.
Great little site.

Disliked Packing up to come home😔

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: That's wonderful to hear you had such a fantastic stay on our fully-serviced grass pitch!

We're so glad you enjoyed the spacious pitch with its fire pit and drinking water tap, and that the views hit the mark. It's also great to know our little park was handy for your 3-year-old, and that you found the campers' kitchen, clean toilets, and good showers to your liking.

We really pride ourselves on creating a friendly atmosphere, so it's lovely to hear that shone through during your visit. And the best part? Knowing you'll recommend us to friends and family and, even better, that you'll be back because we're so close to home!

We completely understand the "dislike" of having to pack up, but we'll look forward to welcoming you back again soon.

Local attractions

Whether you’re up for browsing the racks, meeting monkeys or taking on treetop adventures, Trentham Estate (20 minutes’ drive) is the place to go: this one-stop complex set around an old manor house has a shopping village, apes and a rope-based expedition course through the forest. Rather watch the horses or bike racing than rush about in the woods? Uttoxeter Racecourse is 20 minutes away from Springfields Countryside Caravan and Camping, while the Darley Moor Motor Cycle Road Race Club is reachable in half an hour. For calmer times, the stunning Dove Dale Stepping Stones and Thorpe Cloud – a limestone hill with views out over the Midland plain – are 20 minutes from the park for riverside and mountain walks.
