What customers say
This is a well-maintained and peaceful site with stunning countryside views, praised for its cleanliness and friendly, helpful owners. Pitches are generally spacious and level. It's considered an excellent, convenient base for visiting Alton Towers. Some guests experienced queues for showers and toilets, and the push-button showers were a recurring minor complaint, though the facilities were consistently described as clean.

Bell tent
Liked ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
We had a fantastic stay at Lower Micklin Touring Park in a bell tent and couldn’t have asked for a better experience. The site is beautifully maintained, peaceful, and surrounded by stunning countryside views.
The bell tent was clean, comfortable, and well-equipped, making it a perfect glamping experience. The facilities throughout the park were spotless and clearly well looked after. The location is ideal, especially for visiting Alton Towers, which is only a short drive away.
What really stood out was the warm welcome and friendliness of the owners, who went above and beyond to make our stay enjoyable. The atmosphere was relaxed, family-friendly, and perfect for unwinding.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend Lower Micklin Touring Park to anyone looking for a peaceful getaway or a convenient base for exploring the area. We will definitely be returning!

Electric grass tent pitch
Liked The location was great - just outside of the peak district and very easy to get to. There are lots of lovely walks to go on, and even some trails straight from the site. This was great as we were there during the heatwave and needed to get he dog out on some early walks.
The site was well-maintained and clean. The owners were very friendly on arrival and helped us when we were struggling with the electric hookup.
Disliked The pitches aren't the biggest - we were in the lower section, which was very busy and felt like we were on top of people. However, next time we would just book the larger pitch, which had lots of room. We also hadn't realised that the electric hookup was a lower voltage on the smaller pitches, so we weren't able to run our electric BBQ. This was on us for not reading the details properly, but it's worth noting.
The facilities were nice; however, there aren't many of them, which meant that there was often a queue for the showers and toilets. Again, the site was very busy this week as there was a local dog show going on, so you might not have the same issue if you go at a different time.
