  • 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.

Electric grass pitch

Liked: The things we liked: The play area, the cleanliness of the toilet/shower facilities. The friendliness of the staff. The proximity of the pub, and the amazing takeaway pub breakfast. The next door vending machine at the community centre, which dispenses milkshakes.

Disliked: The road noise, however the ear plugs offered by the campsite were greatly appreciated, and it didn't put us off.

Electric grass tent pitch

Liked: Friendly. No frills. Clean and spacious. Basic but clean and exactly what’s needed available. Landlord, John, was on the ball with everything. Regularly checked we were ok and had everything we needed. Food is decently priced and home made. We had drinks and 4 adult meals. Cost £60. I struggled to eat all mine.
Will definitely be revisiting again. 15/20 minute drive from Alton towers. 1hr ish to Chester zoo, 30 minutes to the monkey forest.

Electric hardstanding touring pitch

Liked: Extremely friendly site, the best steak I have ever had in the pub! The staff at the pub couldn't do enough for you. It is a small site, but clean and well organised. Perfect location for Alton towers and Trentham monkey park. You could also visit the indoor ski slope, bowling alley and Water world at Festival Park, Stoke on Trent within a 20 minute drive. We stopped 6 nights and personally loved it. We will definitely return if this way again 😀

Disliked: Nothing. Only that we had to come home.
