Anonymous Electric grass touring pitch
Liked Really enjoyed my stay at the Alders. From the warm welcome by friendly staff on arrival, to the spacious pitch near the rookery. Its a really quiet site tucked into farmland, with a nice walk around it and through fields.
Disliked Nothing to dislike.

Liked Lovely site. Camping pod in good condition set in a nice woodland area with a communal covered table that was lit at night. As well as individual picnic tables.
The heater and lamp in the camping pod were a nice touch. Toilets and shower rooms were clean, spacious and family friendly.
We had breakfast in the cafe on the last day which was lovely.
Hosts were very helpful and kind even though we arrived late to check in. I travelled alone with two of my children, so this was very much appreciated.
Great location, we travelled to stockeld park for a day out while staying here.

Outstanding site
Electric grass touring pitch
Liked We recently stayed at The Alders Caravan Park and came away genuinely impressed. From the moment we arrived, it was clear that a lot of care goes into maintaining the site. The grounds are beautifully kept—clean, spacious, and surrounded by peaceful natural scenery that makes it easy to relax and switch off.
The facilities were excellent: modern, well-maintained, and consistently spotless. It’s obvious that the team takes pride in creating a comfortable environment for guests. The pitches themselves were generously sized, giving a nice sense of privacy without feeling isolated.
What really stood out, though, was the atmosphere. The park strikes a perfect balance between being family-friendly and tranquil. Whether you’re looking for a quiet retreat or a base to explore the surrounding area, it works wonderfully. The staff were also warm, welcoming, and always happy to help with anything we needed, which made the stay even more enjoyable.
Overall, The Alders Caravan Park is a fantastic place to stay. It combines great facilities, a relaxing setting, and excellent service—everything you’d want for a memorable getaway. I’d happily return and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a peaceful and well-run caravan park.
