  • 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 and welcoming campsite with a popular on-site pub offering delicious food. Staff are consistently praised for their helpfulness and accommodating nature. Facilities, including toilets and showers, are generally reported as clean and functional, though some find them basic. Its proximity to Alton Towers is a key draw for many visitors. Noise from the nearby road is occasionally noted, with earplugs often provided.

Chris D.

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked you can pay for one night during summer months

Disliked It’s not really a campsite (at least for tents). It’s a pub beer garden turned into a camp site. Bins smelt right next to where you wash up. Water filling is a hose on the wall. There’s not enough room between the tents on there and you’re very close to each other. It’s priced the same as purpose built campsites with space and better and cleaner facilities. There is a pub next to the tents however prices are extremely high for a meal. I don’t mind camping and making compromises as long as it’s reflected in the price per night. I feel it’s overpriced especially given you’re right next to a busy main road and the reasons given above. If you prefer not to face outwards to other campers you’re facing a bush with a noisy road the other side.

Electric grass pitch

Liked A very laid back site, John and his staff were very helpful and friendly. The facilities were cleaned regularly.

Disliked More (permanent) toilets and showers needed for a site of this size instead of a porta cabin.

Also, only 1 sink was available for pot washing.

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked Great place for our group booking. Facilities were good with a great pub on site. The food was excellent and all meals came together on our 20 plus table. The staff couldn’t do enough for you. Which made our stay very enjoyable.

Disliked The road was noisy for a few pitches but with our ear plugs in it wasn’t a problem.

Electric grass pitch

Liked We had a lovely time at New Broom Camping and Caravan Site. The pitches are a little on the small side, which might feel a bit cramped if the site were full, but we had plenty of space during our visit. The facilities were excellent; the toilets and showers were cleaned very frequently, and we never found them to be messy. While there could have been a few more showers to prevent a queue, it’s a minor point. The owner and staff were exceptionally friendly and made us feel very welcome, with the owner even checking in with us as we left to make sure we had a good stay. The onsite pub was a highlight. We had a great meal there, and our older kids enjoyed playing pool. Our drinks were a little flat, but we didn't complain, so we can't say how they'd handle it, but based on their friendly and accommodating nature, I believe they would have quickly made things right. Overall, it's a great site, and we would happily go back again.

Disliked More toilets and showers is the only real thing that would make it better also bit bigger pitch size
