  • Small and simple off-grid site at a Staffordshire farm
  • Stoke-on-Trent 20 minutes' drive; 25 minutes to Alton Towers
  • Free-range hens and ducks on site; views over the site's orchard
If you like to open up your tent in the morning and see views of trees and farm animals rather than lots of other tents, take a look at Orchard View Campsite. This small Staffordshire site only has a handful of pitches, so your neighbours are likely to be the resident free-range chickens and ducks rather than a large number of other guests. The other thing you’ll be able to see is the small orchard next to the camping area – still in its infancy but a lovely backdrop nonetheless. In keeping with these chilled-out surroundings, the off-grid site is a simple setup with some outdoor log seating, a cold water supply and an indoor toilet as the only facilities. Keeping guest numbers low means there should always be space to relax in – and the low-key facilities mean low light pollution, and therefore often some quiet special night sky views. The location of this site should be a winner too – it's a thoroughly rural spot with lots of walks around and urban facilities not too far away in either Uttoxeter or Stoke-on-Trent (both 15-20 minutes' drive away). The closest pubs are a couple of miles away, and there are plenty of ways to fill your days – including days at the races, thrill rides at Alton Towers, pottery museums and gin tours among other things.

What customers say

This is a peaceful, rural campsite with a strong focus on nature and animals, including free-ranging chickens and ducks, and nearby cows. Guests consistently praise the exceptionally friendly and helpful owner, James, who goes above and beyond. Pitches are spacious, many with fire pits and seating. While facilities are basic, many find them clean and adequate. Some mention the ground can get boggy when wet. Plans for future development are noted.

Non-electric grass tent pitch (no pets)

Liked A lovely site that I would love to revisit! James was very friendly and helpful, and his instructions made the site easy to find.

The curious chickens were entertaining and I enjoyed just watching the cows and their calves in the field opposite.

This was my first time solo camping and I would definitely recommend to others looking to do the same.

Liked The views, tidieness of the site

Disliked No onsite facilities
Have to buy own wood and coals
Noise from cows in morning

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Unfortunately I expected this after I at to ask them to put the dog back on the lead and caught them burning anything and everything on the fire pit, when I over a fair package of firewood at a fair price and do say that is all that should be used.
It’s a back to basic campsite toilet and cold water wash area. So facilities and activities don’t really count and I also don’t offer WiFi.
Unfortunately you can’t please everyone, yet if you read the other comments you will see I do and try my best look after you all.

very peaceful with chickensaround cows at the back of your tent

Local attractions

Keeping the rural vibe going around here might involve a wander around the ruins of Chartley Castle (15 minutes' drive), taking the kids to meet more animals at Amerton Farm & Billy's Farm Barn (15 minutes) or having a peaceful walk through the National Trust-protected landscape at Downs Banks (20 minutes). Fishing, golf and clay pigeon shooting are all available nearby, and there are scenic rides on the Foxfield Steam Railway (15 minutes). Thoroughly shattering that peaceful countryside vibe is a day at Alton Towers (25 minutes), where you can try out all the thrill rides, splash your way around the waterpark and meet colourful characters at CBeebies Land. Time to relax after all that excitement? Try a gin class or tour at Nelson’s Distillery and School (15 minutes), or head towards Stoke-on-Trent to see the pottery at World of Wedgwood (20 minutes) and The Potteries Museum (25 minutes).
