  • Family-friendly camping 15 minutes’ drive from Crewe in rural Cheshire
  • Chester Zoo and Blue Planet Aquarium both 50 minutes’ drive
  • Dog-walking area; pubs within 10 minutes’ drive
Neat as a new pin, spacious, level and divided by young saplings. That’ll be the hardstanding and grass pitches at Oakwood Campsite, a family-friendly spot bordering farmland and set 10 minutes’ drive from the conservation village of Church Minshull in rural Cheshire. All the requisites for a relaxed break with family and friends are on hand at this well-maintained site: a modern shower block with baby-changing amenities and a wet room for the mobility impaired, pot washing, water stations, chemical waste disposal, recycling bins and charging points. You may want to eat breakfast and lunch at Minshull’s Garden Centre (10 minutes’ walk), and if you fancy dining out in the evening, there are several pubs within 10 minutes’ drive, as well as takeaways and fast-food outlets in Crewe (15 minutes’ drive). Your canine companions are welcome, and there’s a dedicated dog-walking area on site – please keep them on leads around the pitches. You can also exercise them (and yourselves of course) on longer expeditions down the Shropshire Union Canal towpath.

What customers say

A new, well-maintained campsite with spacious, level pitches and modern, clean facilities. Guests praise the friendly welcome and peaceful countryside location, with walks available from the site. Security gates provide reassurance. Some early reviews noted teething problems, such as issues with water points, drainage, and shower pressure, but manager responses indicate these are being addressed. Metered electricity has been introduced, with some guests finding it more expensive than expected.

Electric optional hardstanding motorhome pitch

Liked Nothing

Disliked There are great big long rows of plots. So the back rows have to pass your windows to get to the amenities. So not a relaxing site when everyone passing your window all the time.

From the manager: How very disappointing you felt the need to give such a low score for just a single nights stay.

It would appear from your comments, that actually, there wasn't much to complain about?

Small sites like mine, are very affected by poor reviews and I feel your review was particularly harsh, and unnecessarily so.

I would urge you to talk to the owners of sites before doing this sort of thing again.

Boundary electric optional grass campervan, tent or trailer tent pitch (XL)

Liked Really nice site with modern facilities. Good dog walking area and access to a public footpath which leads to the canal. Electricity is metered which I think is fair and the site is well laid out.
Location easy to find and nice to watch the planes as the sun goes down.

Disliked The bin area has rubbish piled up. There was one metal industrial bin and 2 bulk tonne bags. All was full and people dumped rubbish next to the bins. No recycling also.

Showers had a bit of mould in the sealant.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for your comments.
If I may address them:

The bins are very difficult to manage, that is why they are out of sight. Extra 'tote' bags are provided for overflow situations. All the rubbish was removed from site when everyone left on the Sunday afternoon.
I am always staggered at the amount of rubbish people create, it would seem that 'saving the planet 'doesn't apply whilst camping!

Recycling is done at the collection company site.

Mould on the sealant is a constant battle
