What customers say

This is a beautiful, peaceful marina-side campsite offering spacious, well-maintained pitches with good separation for privacy. Guests frequently praise the friendly and helpful staff, the excellent cafe, and the on-site bar and pizza options. Facilities are generally clean and functional. Minor drawbacks mentioned include potential aircraft noise and a limited number of showers and toilets, which can lead to queues during peak times. No cars are allowed on pitches, with gear transported by quad bike.

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked Nothing

Disliked Being subjected to muck spreading on adjacent field for the whole day we were there, so close to tent the wind was blowing it onto the tent.
Planes going overhead constantly overnight depriving us of sleep.
Cafe/bar closed for both nights we were there
No staff on site. Therefore no communication.

Jane L.

Electric grass motorhome pitch

Liked Gorgeous setting, so calm and peaceful. Beautiful outlook across the canal and countryside. I did some lovely paddles along the canal, really peaceful. The outdoor shower was a highlight, I prefer it to the shower block!
The tearoom and bar were an added bonus. Felt very safe as a lone female visitor

Disliked The campervan locations were next to the car park, so the views not quite as nice as the other areas.

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked This is an ideal site for peace & tranquility for a perfect tent break.
The only issue is the expensive meals on offer but the small bar offers reasonable priced drinks.
We have been here 3 times and will certainly be coming again.

Local attractions

Start off with some good old-fashioned industrial heritage at the Lion Salt Works in the nearby village of Marston (10 minutes' drive), or visit the Anderton Boat Lift (15 minutes) to see how ingenious Victorian engineers negotiated a 50-foot drop between the river Weaver and the Trent and Mersey Canal. The handsome market town of Northwich (10 minutes) and its bustling high street should be next on your agenda – especially if your stay at Oakwood Marina coincides with its monthly artisanal market. For cities where there's always something on, you could head to Chester (40 minutes) or Manchester (40 minutes), both of which have top museums, kid-friendly attractions, shopping opportunities and historic quarters to explore. Need a breather after all that? Fresh air – and plenty of it – is available at Marbury Country Park (15 minutes), Tatton Park (20 minutes) or Dunham Massey (25 minutes), a National Trust-managed property with a deer park and garden that makes the place well worth visiting all year round.
