  • 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 well-maintained, family-friendly site with spacious, level pitches. Visitors consistently praise the exceptionally clean and modern toilet and shower facilities, with ample hot water. Secure entry and a peaceful atmosphere are noted. The site offers lovely countryside walks, with a local pub and garden centre within walking distance. Some guests found the showers too hot, and the electricity metering system was a point of concern for some. A few reviews mentioned occasional issues with bin fullness and a lack of a dedicated children's play area.

Electric optional hardstanding motorhome pitch

Liked Lovely quiet site, well looked after and toilet and shower block were sufficient and clean. Pitches were a good size. Lucy was very inviting and friendly and came around to check we had everything and if we had any questions. Will definitely be back to stay again.

Disliked Only thing that was a bit of a pain was that there is no footpath on the busy road to walk anywhere and in the autumn/winter that’s not good but in the summer you can walk across the farmers fields apparently to the local pub. Too muddy and dark in winter months I think. But that’s not a fault with the site but needs to be taken into consideration if wanting to walk anywhere.
Little shop on site only opens in high season.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: I have approached the council regarding a footpath - the reply was no.

I always advise against using the road, but walking boots are required in the winter months.

Electric optional hardstanding motorhome pitch

Liked The pitches were large and flat. The facilities were clean and good.

Disliked Unfortunately, the location was less good. There was a lot of noise and seemed to heavy work going on nearby with machinery. I see they had planted a lot of trees which will help ultimately. The walk back from the pub along the road was dangerous, although it was a nice stroll out through a field of cows by daylight. We weren't given an exit code to leave the site although the owners were helpful once we got through to them

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for your comments. To address them:

Noise would be from the place a couple of fields away, a new owner has just taken the place on and he is making some changes, which can be a bit noisy during the working day.

The walk is through fields which sometimes have animals grazing. The road is not recommended as there is no footpath (which was explained to this customer).

The gate code, was an oversight on my part and I apologize.

Everything. A beautiful place with great facilities!…

 Wendy & Toby C. 1 review

Electric optional hardstanding motorhome pitch

Liked Very quiet. Clean shower and washing up area. Secure. Nice view

Disliked Separate hot/cold taps as water won't go back to cold for teeth-washing. Laundry facilities. WiFi.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you

WiFi is very poor in the area, so rather than offer a poor service, I don't offer WiFi.

I am on septic tank not mains sewerage and that is the reason I don't have a laundry for guests.

Teeth can be cleaned used any of the 9 cold water taps across the site.

Quiet, not just other patrons, but…

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked Quiet, not just other patrons, but the area was very peaceful. Toilets were clean with good lighting and a good hand dryer. The showers were plentiful and had big enclosures. Easy to come and go, water points throughout.

We camped in a tent and found the tent area to be flat or with a gentle slope.
