Non-electric grass touring pitch

Liked: Lovely setting. Stress free check-in and very quiet area. Food and pints are good value. We came with a Tentbox and booked a non electric grass motorhome pitch (best to ring ahead when booking)

Disliked: Toilet/shower block is small but after reading other reviews it seems that they are aware of this and have plans to build more.

Non-electric grass touring pitch

Liked: This is the second time we have stayed at Charlie Bassett's campsite and it won't be the last. The pitch sizes are very generous, providing ample room for vehicles, awnings and outdoor furniture. The facilities are excellent and clean and the pub provides fantastic food. The surrounding area is extremely picturesque, set in a beautiful part of rural Staffordshire. The campsite is kept extremely clean and is well maintained.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Hi Sophie , What a Lovely Descriptive review you have given us . I can only thank you so much . It is Great when people appreciate our hard work like this . Best Regards Team Charlies

Local attractions

This is an ace base for trips to Alton Towers (20 minutes’ drive) for folk who fancy riding rollercoasters like the Nemesis and Oblivion. Spend one day scampering among the top-class attractions here, then slow things down the next with countryside explores. The Peak District National Park (around 25 minutes) is full of walking paths, while other spots like Trentham Gardens (20 minutes) are top for traipsing round too. If checking out cheeky creatures is more your bag, head to Trentham Monkey Forest (20 minutes) and wander among the free-roaming animals. Around 140 Barbary macaques live in the woodlands and meadows here – make sure to look up and spot them swinging through the trees. Once you’ve snapped pics of the primates, set your sights on some of the market towns scattered around the area. Stone, a settlement on the Trent and Mersey Canal (15 minutes), is well-regarded for its food and drink options, while Cheadle (55 minutes), just outside the wood-covered Churnet Valley and the scenic Staffordshire Moorlands, is worth stopping in too.
