Wild campsite with Peckforton Hills views at Bunbury in Cheshire
BeWILDerwood Cheshire 10 minutes’ drive; Chester Zoo half an hour
Cycling and hiking direct from the site; pub 10 minutes' walk away

Steve, Alex and the family look forward to welcoming you for a taste of wild camping at Whitegate Farm Camping. Set on a smallholding on the outskirts of the pretty village of Bunbury in Cheshire, this quiet, family- and dog-friendly spot has Peckforton Hills views from the camping field – and Phoebe the friendly llama as your new neighbour. The family-run site is in the Cheshire countryside, 10 minutes' drive from Tarporley, and just a 10-minute walk to the local pub and shop. This is a lovely peaceful spot with lots of privacy, but all the same, it's under half an hour's drive away from many of Chester's popular attractions, including Chester Zoo, The Ice Cream Farm and Wild Shore Delamere. Simple on-site facilities stretch to loos and a shower, and be forewarned that there is no electricity on site; bring torches for any nocturnal wanderings about the place. What you do get, however, are loads of walks and bike rides straight from the campsite, to Beeston Castle (45 minutes on foot) or along The Sandstone Trail (50 minutes). You can take the kids on easy family strolls or cycles alongside the Shropshire Union Canal Main Line towpath (10 minutes’ drive), or have a meander down to the three local pubs within 20 minutes’ walk for a choice of good food and a decent pint or two.

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked: The site was clean with spacious level pitches. BBQs and logs to purchase. Very safe for the children. Alex came and said hello and made sure we had everything we needed and had also text the morning if our stay which was a lovely touch. We felt very welcome and would definitely stay again.

Disliked: Minor dislike, the sat nav took us past the site and we hadn't noticed this as the sign was quite small. Easily cleared up with a quick phone call to the owners so it wasn't a problem.

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked: Loved everything about the site, so quiet, the new toilet block, the horses. Most amazing sunset while we were there around the fire pit. Shower was excellent. Easy to find site with great diagram of how to get there. The very friendly owner Alex came for a chat which was nice.

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked: This is a beautiful secluded spot, we had a peaceful stay which was just what we wanted, the owners are very friendly and ensured that we had everything that we needed and made it known that we were free to ask if we needed anything. Amenities were clean and well supplied and there’s a bbq and a fire pit should you choose to use them. There was no option of wifi but we were camping in a tent so didn’t expect wifi to be available, we wanted a little quiet get away and that’s exactly what we got. There’s a pub (the yew tree pub) only 10 mins down the road that does absolutely top notch food, we will definitely be going back!

Mark M. Sept 2023

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked: Whitegate camping is a lovely peaceful site that was perfect for our family of 3. There was lots of space for our 2 year old to run around with the added bonus of blackberry bushes she could pick from and horses in a nearby field. The location is great to access Delamere Forrest and facilities include hot showers, toilet, washing up station and cold drinking water. The owners are also absolutely lovely and we would stay here again without hesitation

Local attractions

Younger kids may not give you any peace until you’ve taken them to The Ice Cream Farm (15 minutes’ drive) to sample more than 40 flavours of homemade ice cream and have a run around at the play area. The elephants, tigers and giraffes at Chester Zoo (half an hour) are likely to be second on the list, or you can go diving with sharks at Blue Planet Aquarium (35 minutes). Take the whole family to test their mettle on the zipwires and treetop rope courses at BeWILDerwood Cheshire (10 minutes’ drive), or make for the inflatable climbing course at Wild Shore Delamere waterpark (20 minutes), where you can also take wakeboarding and paddleboarding lessons. For far-reaching views to the Peckforton Hills, climb up to Beeston Castle (45 minutes’ walk) on its rocky crag. Have an urban day out among the indie shops, Roman walls and Tudor half-timbered buildings of Chester, and if you’re bargain hunting, browse the fashion shops at Designer Outlet Cheshire Oaks (both 35 minutes’ drive).
