This spacious campsite boasts stunning views and a relaxed atmosphere, offering a choice of pitches in large fields. Visitors praise the friendly owners, clean basic facilities including £1 hot showers, and convenient on-site pizza van. It's ideally located for local walks and pubs.

Liked We had an amazing stay at The Hollies!
The campsite is peaceful, clean, and very well maintained, with a great atmosphere for anyone looking to relax and enjoy nature.
We stayed here with our Belgian Malinois, and it was a fantastic place for him too.
There was plenty of space to explore, and we all felt very welcome.
The facilities were clean, and the location is perfect for exploring the beautiful countryside around Leek.
We enjoyed our stay and will definitely be back.
Highly recommended! 🏕️🐕

Good old fashioned camping
Anonymous Non-electric grass tent or motorhome pitch
Liked Clean toilets, plenty of loo roll and hand-wash.
Set in lovely countryside, with great views from the top field.
Showers as hot as you like. £1 coin for 5 mins which I found adequate, even to wash and condition my hair.
Friendly owners, checking things regularly.
6 unisex toilets, 4 showers
Decent price of £18 for 2 people.
Disliked Poor mobile data signal at times.
If on top field, a fair way to the loos, water taps and showers.

Totally recommend, great campsite with stunning countryside views!
Non-electric grass tent or motorhome pitch
Liked Excellent campsite in a stunning location, choice of field locations, very clean toilet and shower facilities. Plenty of room for you to have space around your pitch, and great space for kids to play and enjoy being outside. Firepits available at cost, which were a great addition and we enjoyed roasting marshmallows!!! The staff were very responsive and very friendly.
The roaches walk is totally walkable from the site...we had a great day out doing this, some scrambling and lots of walks to explore which was great fun.
If you want to treat yourself with a meal out, there is a restaurant within a few minutes walk...not budget, but is good food and has boardgames etc to play if thats your thing.
There are lots of villages / towns within a short driving distance to explore, great location for getting out and about.
Disliked Cannot fault this campsite at all, if your looking for basic camping..this is perfect!

From the manager: Hi Natalie and family, Thank you so much for your fantastic review. We're delighted you had such a great stay with us.
It's lovely to hear you enjoyed the spacious pitches, clean facilities and the freedom for the children to play and explore. We're also pleased the fire pit helped make your evenings extra special – there's nothing quite like toasting marshmallows around the fire!
It sounds as though you made the most of everything the local area has to offer too. We're so lucky to be surrounded by beautiful walks, including The Roaches, and to have some great places to eat nearby.
Thank you again for taking the time to share your experience and for your kind comments about our team. We really do appreciate it and hope to welcome you back again soon, it was a real pleasure to meet you 😊
