  • Simple, well-kept Staffordshire campsite on a quiet smallholding
  • Five minutes' drive from Leek; just off the A53
  • On the southern edge of the Peak District, with views of The Roaches
Set in scenic Staffordshire on the southern edge of the Peak District National Park, Beech Villa Camping is a secluded smallholding that's home to horses, a few sheep and a handful of camping pitches. The Roaches, a prominent ridge of hills that can be seen in the distance, provide a stunning backdrop and can be easily accessed on foot. There are also local walking trails to the nearby Tittesworth Water (where a range of watersports are available), Lud's Church chasm and lots of other nature spots. (And if nature's not the thing for your kids, how about a day out at Alton Towers, 25 minutes' drive away?) This site has simple facilities, including a washing-up area for pots and pans and toilets. Although conveniently close to the A53, the site is set back from the road so it still feels peaceful. Barbecues are allowed as long as they're kept off the ground to protect the grass, and small firepits are permitted as long as they are raised off the ground and properly monitored. Two dogs per pitch are welcome (but please keep them on leads at all times). The local area is home to a number of excellent pubs, including the waterside Lazy Trout in Meerbrook (a mile and a half away, close to the reservoir) and Ye Olde Rock Inn (a mile away up the A53), which has been faithfully serving locals and visitors since 1816. If you don't fancy travelling that far, it's handy to know there's also a much closer pub about two minutes' walk from the site, serving up drinks and dinners.

What customers say

This is a highly recommended, well-maintained campsite offering spacious pitches, exceptional cleanliness, and beautiful countryside views, particularly of The Roaches. Guests consistently praise the friendly and helpful owners, the peaceful atmosphere, and the convenient proximity to a local pub. Basic but spotless facilities are noted, with guests appreciating the allowance of fire pits and BBQs. While some mention limited walking trail access directly from the site and the absence of hot water for washing up, the overall experience is overwhelmingly positive, with many intending to return.

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked We booked a little last minute but the sun was out so thought why not.
We struggled to find the campsite but I rang the owner and she met with us on the main road so she could guide us in.

Beautiful views, lovely surroundings.
It was just us camping on the field on this occasion so we just sipped a nice wine, watched the sheep hanging out and watched the sun go down.

Toilets great, washing up facilities fine, stones to use for bbq and fire pits.

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked Amazing site. Owner was lovely and greeted us on arrival. The facilities were always very clean and the pitches were of a good size.
Will certainly be returning again.

Disliked The road can be a little loud (especially motorbikes). So if you are a light sleeper maybe take some ear plugs. However this didn't keep me or my child awake.
