With Alton Towers so near - only just over 1 mile away from the main gate, we are the number one choice for visitors who are looking for a great family-friendly, Camping and Caravan Park experience.

We offer great value for money, free clean facilities,and are in one of the most beautiful locations in the Staffordshire Moorlands situated close to Dovedale, and The Peak District National Park, and also the market towns of Ashbourne, Leek, Cheadle and Uttoxeter. The Cities of Derby, and Stoke on Trent, are located around about a 45 - minute car drive away.

We are focused on serving families, and 'mature-minded' couples only. You can Camp, bring a Caravan or Motor Home, or...Why not hire one of our 2010 'Rose Award' Quality Graded Static Holiday Caravans?

Important Note: We do not allow groups of 3 or more of the same sex to stay with us and operate an 'all-quiet' time of 11pm. Please read our Terms and Conditions and See FAQ's.

To make a booking please call our offices

Fantastic site with clean showers and enclosed park

(Family with young children, 1 review, 0 photos)

  • Stayed Aug 2010 Review submitted
  • Stayed in: Touring pitches
  • Would recommend to friends
  • Would visit again

Liked: That the staff were really helpful, park was immaculate, site clean and showers and baby room sparkling clean.

So close to Alton Towers it was perfect!

The Star pub do great fish and chips on a friday night too.

Disliked: Very little, the dog walking area was smaller than we had imagined but we took the dog off site to walk him sufficiently.

The best park with young kids visiting Alton Towers

(Family with young children, 1 review, 2 photos)

  • Stayed Jul 2010 Review submitted
  • Stayed in: Caravans for hire
  • Would recommend to friends
  • Would visit again

Liked: We have stayed here a few times before but never for the full week. We opted to stay in a caravan on site and it was well worth it. We usually camp.

The staff at the park are amazing - informative, friendly and helpful. We never had any problems and on booking they asked us about our journey and what we had planned whilst informing us of the campsite rules which in our opinion are top ...

Disliked: Nothing. We can honestly say this is one of the best campsites we have ever visited.

Liked: Closeness to Alton Towers.
Washing facilities very clean and well equipped.
Toilet and shower block very well kept.
Members of staff around makes you feel secure.
No noise after 11 rule.....bliss!

Disliked: We had to buy a specific type of electric box to use the hook up...cost us £50 despite already having a perfectly safe and functional one.
Quite expensive but worth it.
