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.

Electric hardstanding and grass touring pitch

Liked Spacious level pitch, electric hook up pitches half hardcore and half grass, clean showers and toilets. Added bonus of the New Broom pub which serves excellent food, with friendly staff and management.

Disliked Nearby road was a bit noisy at night, but nothing that ear plugs couldn’t fix.

Non-electric grass campervan or tent pitch

Liked Clean and well maintained pitches, although fully booked we didn’t feel on top of each other. Asked for pitches near our friend, who were also staying, which was arranged. Clean toilets and showers and the pub food was lovely.

Disliked Although very clean, toilets and shower were basic and maybe need a few more, as there wasn’t many for the amount of people staying. It is a little noisy from the road, if you are stay that side of the field, but wasn’t too bad.

Angela A.

Electric grass tent pitch

Liked The pitches were a great size (they easily fitted our tent plus porch which equates to 9.5m in length) and the toilets and shower were lovely and clean. The owner of the campsite was so welcoming and kind and the rood at the pub linked with the campsite was delicious. We will definitely be returning to this campsite in the future.

Disliked We knew when booking this campsite was near a road so expected road noise. The noise of lorries on Friday night was a bit louder than expected, but the owner does give people in tents ear plugs to help. It didn't ruin our weekend at all, just something to be aware of. We will definitely return in the future.
