What customers say
This well-maintained and clean site receives consistent praise for its friendly and helpful staff, particularly James. Its convenient location offers easy access to local pubs, shops, and takeaways. Reviewers highlight the peaceful atmosphere and suitability for dog owners, with ample space for them. While most guests enjoy their stays, a lack of shower facilities and the pay-as-you-go electric meters are noted drawbacks by some.

Electric optional hardstanding and grass touring pitch
Liked Lovely site. Reading all the reviews, yes it’s car park ish. But there’s also loads of grass. The views are incredible. There’s a shop within spitting distance and a REALLY great pub 3 mins walk away. It’s peaceful and pretty and James is SO HELPFUL. Loved it. We will be back!
Disliked Absolutely nothing to dislike.

Disliked Pitch definitely needed levellers but we were directed there away from the flat pitches as it had been raining. Nit really a problem tho

Friendly, quiet, hardstanding or grass pitches
Electric optional hardstanding and grass touring pitch
Liked It was our 1st time staying at Oak Deer this weekend. We had a lovely weekend stay. James and Chris were fabulous! Made us feel extremely welcome and were happy to help with the usual questions you have when on an unfamiliar site. Excellent dog walk area. Our mini dash loved it. Coop literally on the door step for those things you may have forgotten. Chinese takeaway delivered to site. I would highly recommend. James gave us a menu. The local pub is a short walk away. Very friendly, good food (we had off the light lunch menu) unsure if you might perhaps need to book ahead for an evening meal though. Bus stop into Stafford opposite the pub. We didn't do the canal walk mentioned in other reviews this time but we will next time we stay. No WiFi but we didn't have any issues with signal on our mobile data (EE, Vodafone) Looking forward to returning very soon!!
Disliked Couldn't find fault really, but if I had to ask for something, showers would be a great addition.

Liked Everything! A warm welcome, lovely and quiet, well kept clean and maintained areas. Exactly what we needed to switch off. There’s a pub a short walk away, also a coop just outside. Down the roads are a few other shops including a lovely Chinese takeaway.
