  • A 10-minute drive from Alton Towers and Uttoxeter Racecourse
  • Large family-friendly bar and restaurant with events and takeaways
  • Spacious beer garden with play area and large climbing frame
Up for theme park thrills? New Broom Camping and Caravan Site is 10 minutes' drive away from Alton Towers – and has a comfy number of amenities to have you sorted on site too. Set in two peaceful acres with flat grass pitches, the park has a traditional pub (which is both large and family-friendly) with a family restaurant. There's also a big beer garden with a play area. And it's all in the small Staffordshire village of Checkley, a short drive away from Uttoxeter Racecourse and The Potteries as well as Alton Towers. The pub serves decently priced drinks and meals including carvery, cooked breakfasts and pizza (pizza is available for takeaway too). It's got a pool table for evenings of friendly competition, and hosts regular events such as rock nights, tribute nights and darts nights. New Broom also has a toilet/shower facility that guests can use free of charge, 24 hours a day.

Pub Car Park non-electric hardstanding touring pitch

Liked Owner and staff were really friendly and welcoming. We stayed in the carpark but there was toilet and sink facilities which were fine. I wondered if the pub or carpark would be noisy later in the evening but it wasn’t at all. Great value for a stopover.

Keith A.

Electric hardstanding and grass touring pitch

Liked Good basic site. Although overpriced. Single men’s shower with a broken lock. Good job the site was quiet! Nice pub with exceptionally lovely staff.
Food was hot and fresh .

Disliked The price for a very basic site is way over. The UK really needs to start falling into line with the rest of Europe and drop their site prices accordingly.

Electric hardstanding and grass touring pitch

Liked 16A EHU
clean showers and toilets
good ale in pub.
nice landlord.
nice pub.

Disliked some of the pitches are quite small.
difficult to fill up motorhome fresh water as people parked by water hose, there was a rally on so probably not usually this busy.
Couldn't see anywhere to empty motorhome waste grey water from built inn tank, but there may be a place.

A good site facilities are basic but clean with a great friendly pub.
