  • 'Sparkling showers and huge pitches'
  • Set on 10 acres two miles from Alton Towers
  • Spectacular countryside on the edge of the Peak District
To Alton Towers! Staffordshire's popular Lower Micklin Touring Park is just five minutes' drive from the whirls and rides of this most exciting theme park to have the kids most excited; you might need a second day there just to make sure you get round the lot... And Lower Micklin is also at the edge of the Peak District and a few miles from Uttoxeter Racecourse for more Staffs holiday happenings. A public footpath walk leads to Alton village and the local pub is half a mile away by footpath or country lane. (Miles of other walks are all around: just look up at the walls on site when you're doing the washing-up: you'll see what's meant by that when you get there...) Lower Micklin is set in 10 acres of grassland with plenty of space for the kids to run around and a one-kilometre track for big folk to walk or jog. It has new heated shower and toilet facilities with free hot water and a family bathroom with toilet, shower, basin and baby changing unit. The park also has rubbish and recycling facilities, covered washing-up sinks with hot water and – a tad more excitement for the sprogs – a ball field with goal posts and a play area with slide, swings and a climbing wall. For Alton eats, local takeaways deliver to the site, and both Alton and Denston close by have food shops and pubs.

What customers say

This is a highly recommended, peaceful, and exceptionally clean campsite with spacious, level pitches. Guests consistently praise the excellent, well-maintained facilities, particularly the showers. Its superb location, just a short drive from Alton Towers and close to local villages and pubs, is a significant draw. The friendly and helpful owners, along with the presence of animals like alpacas, add to the positive experience. Minor points include shower duration and push-button functionality, and limited Wi-Fi availability.
