What customers say

This marina campsite offers spacious, level pitches and excellent, clean toilet and shower facilities, many of which are private cubicles. Guests praised the peaceful atmosphere, lovely canal walks, and the friendly staff and café. While some noted the site's focus on the marina, most found it a relaxing and well-maintained base for exploring the surrounding area. A few minor points included occasional queues for facilities and the early closing of the café.

Liked The pitches were good sized and the facilities spotless

Disliked Going to the cafe and every table had been used and not cleaned. We eventually managed to get a table that was clear. There only seemed to be one person serving the food once the order was placed. That could have been a staffing issue. The food was good when we eventually got it.

Electric gravel touring pitch

Liked Toilet block new. Scenic walks through fields and along canal. Nearest pub friendly and superb food.

Disliked Assigned pitch by email. Motorhome pitches no countryside views. Lacked Motorhome grey waste disposal facility. Ineffective wifi on pitches. Dog poo round pitch. Cafe dirty, meal didnt have everything as sold on menu. Would have appreciated milk and bread sales.

Fully-serviced gravel touring pitch (premium)

Liked Toilets great as all in one with shower and sink . The disabled one was great with plenty of room ..The Elsan was a nice modern one .The marina is lovely.. you just get an email the day before telling you the pitch no and the gate code which I thought was great no messing about with reception 😊

Disliked Pitch 13, the worse thing is god help you if you want to put your awning or windbreaker up as a couple of inches down it’s concrete!!! So if you’ve got an ordinary drill you can’t your pegs in and we have the metal screw in ones. The cafe on site closed at 4.30 so you had to drive to get food but sometimes you can’t be bothered going out ..quite a bit of traffic up and down .

Local attractions

Aqueduct Marina and Caravan Park's Cheshire location and easy access from the M6 means it's in a most handy spot to get to heaps of tourist attractions around this part of the north west and Chester. A popular option in the area is Oulton Park, the racing track in the little village of Budworth that bills itself as the prettiest track in all the land, or you could hike around the wilds of nearby Delamere Forest, or stick to lazy days and potter around small Cheshire villages like Tattenhall and Tarporley. Chester is also easily accessible from the caravan park and has heaps to see among its old streets and swish shops. Animal fans make their way to Chester Zoo on the outskirts of the city to see as many as possible of its 12,000+ animals and over 400 species; if nature is your animalish thing, also get along to the Blue Planet Aquarium and its 100 or so living displays including the biggest school of sharks in Europe. Green fingered? Clear the car boot and drive over to Bridgemere, one of the biggest garden centres in the world and with all things gardenlike as well as toys and clothes in its mammoth shopping centre.
