  • Biker-friendly site on a hill overlooking the Cheshire countryside
  • A 10-minute drive from Congleton; five miles from the Peak District
  • Sociable firepit area on site; meet free-roaming peacocks and alpacas
High time for a ride to the Cheshire countryside? Then make your way to Avona Escapes, a scenic adults-only site near Congleton that’s been set up primarily with bikers in mind. Owners Shez and Graham have been riding their motorbikes for over 20 years, so they've learned a few things about how to create a biker-friendly place to stay. Security is a top priority, so they’ve installed full CCTV here to make sure your wheels are safe and sound. Modern shower and toilet facilities are provided to help you freshen up, and there’s a lovely 10-foot firepit where guests can gather to share tips and tales. This is a lovely place to soak up a bit of rural peace – there are stunning views from the hilltop location and there are almost no neighbours so it's likely to be pretty quiet. Alpacas, peacocks, ducks and chickens roam free though, so don’t be surprised if they pay you a visit sometimes. Barbecues are permitted but you'll be asked to place them on the paving slabs provided for safety. Logs, charcoal and firelighters are sold on site, and there are supermarkets on the edge of Congleton (about 10 minutes’ ride/drive away) for other supplies. Groups are welcome at Avona Escapes, and those with over 10 people can ask the site (before their arrival) for an evening meal, with food such as barbecued goods, homemade pizzas, curry, chilli con carne or toasties for a set price per person.

What customers say

This campsite offers spectacular views, peaceful surroundings, and a friendly atmosphere. Visitors consistently praise the cleanliness of the facilities, the helpfulness of the staff and owners, and the unique charm of the free-roaming animals, including alpacas and peacocks. The location is ideal for walkers, with excellent nearby trails. While some note the steep driveway and occasional issues with solar-powered lights, the overall experience is highly recommended.

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked This was my first solo trip camping, Pete made me feel so welcome and safe! All of the facilities were clean and well maintained.. the place has such a friendly atmosphere, whether you’re here to mingle or here for your own space, it’s perfect! I will 100% be back for another chilled out weekend! Having animals on site is a massive perk, they’re so cute!!

Disliked Nothing at all :)

Route directions

If you follow Satnav direction, it will bring you to a small layby with three large rocks and a sign for Avona. This is the bottom of the drive. Continue to the top of the drive and then around the back of the house. Continue through the large gate in front of you to the camping field, find a space and pitch up. Keep an eye out for wet ground near the pond if it has been raining. The owners will greet you when you arrive, or if they aren’t there, they’ll visit at some point.

Local attractions

Itching to get out and ride through some of that fabulous rural scenery? You won’t have far to go – the edge of the Peak District National Park is just five miles away from the site, with some top spots to aim for including The Roaches (25 minutes' drive/ride), Thor’s Cave (35 minutes) and Arbor Low Stone Circle and Gib Hill Barrow (45 minutes). Buxton (35 minutes), Bakewell (50 minutes) and Matlock Bath (an hour) are all good shouts for town destinations with good food. Meanwhile, the Cat and Fiddle Inn, a Peak District distillery in a 17th-century building running tours and tastings, is 25 minutes’ drive away. If you fancy a break from the bikes, you can follow walking trails or ride a steam train at Rudyard Lake (15 minutes), try various watersports at Tittesworth Reservoir (20 minutes) or go for all the big rollercoasters at Alton Towers (35 minutes).
