- Wild camping meadow for groups in the Cheshire countryside
- A 20-minute drive from Chester and 45 minutes to New Brighton’s beach
- A mile from pubs, restaurants and shops; drinking water provided
Got a gang of friends or family looking for a group camping break? Farndon Tent Camping Meadow is a good place for those who want to have a sociable break (and that includes bringing dogs too if you li e). Out in the pretty Cheshire countryside, 20 minutes’ drive away from Chester and 45 minutes from New Brighton’s beach, this is a place where the pitches are specially geared up for small group getaways.
The two and half-acre meadow is relatively flat with a slightly slanted area and plenty of space for groups to kick back and have some real quality time. Handily, there’s room enough here for each group to bring up to five tents (including gazebos), 15 guests and five cars or vans (but no motorhomes or large vans are allowed).
This is a Site of Special Scientific Interest, meaning there's plenty of wildlife around too. As a wild camping site, there are no facilities, so you’ll need your own camping toilets (there’s an Elsan point on site to dispose of waste). Aside from that, you'll be provided with an IBC with 1000 litres of water for dishwashing only, drinking water in 25-litre bottles, and bins for your rubbish.
There’s good wifi reception, so it’s not too tricky to plot out your plan of action… perhaps a local nature trail? Or into Farndon (25 minutes’ walk) for pubs, restaurants and shops?
Open from 29/04/2022 to 31/10/2022

If you rely on a satnav it may take you to an incorrect location if you simply use the postcode, so make sure you input A534 rather than just the postcode. This will take you to within a hundred yards or so of the access road. The site is directly off Barton Road (A534) and directly opposite Crewe Lane. You'll be sent a map by email, but if you get lost just call the site and they will guide you in.

Thankyou so much for your kind words. Unfortunately we are unable to put up signs on the access road as we do not own it, this is why we email maps to customers after booking and we are always happy to guide them in by phone or to go and meet them. Really glad you enjoyed it and we hope to see you again soon.
