  • Small and simple off-grid site at a Staffordshire farm
  • Stoke-on-Trent 20 minutes' drive; 25 minutes to Alton Towers
  • Free-range hens and ducks on site; views over the site's orchard
If you like to open up your tent in the morning and see views of trees and farm animals rather than lots of other tents, take a look at Orchard View Campsite. This small Staffordshire site only has a handful of pitches, so your neighbours are likely to be the resident free-range chickens and ducks rather than a large number of other guests. The other thing you’ll be able to see is the small orchard next to the camping area – still in its infancy but a lovely backdrop nonetheless. In keeping with these chilled-out surroundings, the off-grid site is a simple setup with some outdoor log seating, a cold water supply and an indoor toilet as the only facilities. Keeping guest numbers low means there should always be space to relax in – and the low-key facilities mean low light pollution, and therefore often some quiet special night sky views. The location of this site should be a winner too – it's a thoroughly rural spot with lots of walks around and urban facilities not too far away in either Uttoxeter or Stoke-on-Trent (both 15-20 minutes' drive away). The closest pubs are a couple of miles away, and there are plenty of ways to fill your days – including days at the races, thrill rides at Alton Towers, pottery museums and gin tours among other things.

What customers say

A chill, rural spot with a natural vibe, set in an orchard with ripper views and farm critters. Mates rave about the legend owner, James, who's got big plans. Sites are roomy with their own fire pits and seats. Facilities are basic but it's a unique, off-grid escape. More shade and extra loos would be grouse.

Mandy G.

Unpowered grass tent site

Liked The site is well maintained, very clean, spacious pitches over looking the field / farm house. there is a stone fire pit per pitch, there is tree stump seating, which is great additions per pitch. There is a water area. Toilet on site. i felt extremely safe there as a solo female traveler. it is also dog friendly :-) the owner James is lovely, and very helpful and friendly. They sell free range eggs, beautiful.
it is in a peaceful location. away from hustle and bustle. highly recommended.

Disliked nothing.

From the manager: Thank you very much Mandy. Was a pleasure having you stay and your lovely dog. So glad you both enjoyed it so much and look forward to seeing you in the future. 😊

Unpowered grass tent site (no pets)

Liked Lovely stay highly recommend!

Nice to stay in a place offering so much natural diversity whether that’s the free roaming chickens that are fun to feed, the cows on the nearby field to interact with and the stay even has fruit ready to pick on nearby trees.

We loved our stay 10/10!!

Liked We came for a piece and quiet break.
It's a perfect place for exactly that.
Fed the chickens and watched the cows in the field next to us 🙂
Nothing was a problem from the owner, he was extremely helpful and made sure we had everything we needed for our stay.

Izzie E.

Unpowered grass tent site

Liked A wonderful campsite, very well thought out. We loved seeing the chickens, ducks & cows. James is such a lovely owner, he showed us around personally & has so many plans to develop the site. He also delivered us some eggs for breakfast that were laid on site. He really went above and beyond. The fire pit and seating area for each pitch was a lovely addition.
We will 100% be coming back. Our little chihuahua loved it too; the dog friendly area of the field was fantastic.

Disliked We struggled to find any shade on the field, which made things tricky on a hot day.
Also, we have a very small dog, who slipped through the wire fence into the neighbouring cow field, luckily we got her back easily. Completely our fault, just something to keep in mind if you have a little dog.

Local attractions

Keeping the rural vibe going around here might involve a wander around the ruins of Chartley Castle (15 minutes' drive), taking the kids to meet more animals at Amerton Farm & Billy's Farm Barn (15 minutes) or having a peaceful walk through the National Trust-protected landscape at Downs Banks (20 minutes). Fishing, golf and clay pigeon shooting are all available nearby, and there are scenic rides on the Foxfield Steam Railway (15 minutes). Thoroughly shattering that peaceful countryside vibe is a day at Alton Towers (25 minutes), where you can try out all the thrill rides, splash your way around the waterpark and meet colourful characters at CBeebies Land. Time to relax after all that excitement? Try a gin class or tour at Nelson’s Distillery and School (15 minutes), or head towards Stoke-on-Trent to see the pottery at World of Wedgwood (20 minutes) and The Potteries Museum (25 minutes).
