  • 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.

What customers say

This is a friendly, well-maintained campsite with clean facilities and excellent food at the on-site pub. Pitches are generally spacious and level, and the staff are consistently praised for being welcoming and helpful. While some guests mention road noise, earplugs are provided. It's considered a great base for visiting Alton Towers. Manager replies indicate issues such as toilet cleaning and dog mess are actively addressed.

Sue H.

Electric hardstanding and grass touring pitch

Liked 10 level hard standing pitches and a small grass camping field. Welcoming and friendly host. Lovely traditional pub serving home cooked food. Toilets and showers impecibly clean and warm (vital during a March stay).

Disliked Road noise was very audible (were in our pop top), however we had booked the site specifically to be in easy reach of Alton Towers. Probably wouldn't be an issue in a caravan or motorhome.

Electric hardstanding and grass touring pitch

Liked Unfortunately had to cancel our stopover due to family illness but contacted the owners who were exceptional and let us carry over our booking till later in the year. They didn't need to do this and it was greatly appreciated by us. If that is their level of customer service, you can be assured we will be booking with them again .

Disliked Nothing. Customer service and understading was exceptional
