Powered cement/asphalt and grass campsite (super)
Liked Loved everything about it hear. We stayed 2 nights and attended alton towers on 2nd day. Perfect place to stay next to alton towers with a 6min drive to the park. Uber cost £6 there and £8 back.
Facilities all clean, some animals on park such as alpaca, guinea pigs & sheep.
We will be back for sure!

Powered cement/asphalt and grass campsite (super)
Liked We stayed on one of the bigger pitches as we needed to bring two cars. Plenty of space and having a water tap on the pitch was very handy! Our electric lead did not reach our tent but the owner lent us an extension to use, which was very helpful. Thank you!
Our kid loved the animals, especially Oscar the dog, and the park. The family bathroom was also very handy.
Even though it was busy, the site was fairly quiet and all the guests were respectful of each other during the week.
The facilities were clean and well laid out. The addition of a communal freezer was very useful as we could freeze ice packs to make pack ups for the day.
Very close to Alton Towers and beautiful views all around.
Thank you for a lovely visit!
Disliked Our only complaint was the shower taps. They were timed ones but only lasted about 3 seconds before shutting off, which was very frustrating. They should be a little longer.

Lovely campsite close to Alton
Powered grass tent campsite
Liked Good pitch sizes.
Good layout
Nice little farm - sheep, alpaca, dog, guinea pigs on site.
Close to Alton towers and ramblers retreat
Showering facilities reasonable - mostly clean- cleaning spray and mop available to use (shame other campers didn’t know how to use them)
Disliked Showers weren’t very powerful but they were ok.
Park could do with revamp

Powered grass tent campsite
Liked ✨ Just 10 minutes from Alton Towers, it’s the perfect mix of adventure and relaxation.
The little ones were in their element with the play park, football field and plenty of space to run around, while the animal lovers got to say hello to the cutest guinea pigs, sheep and alpacas. 🐹🐑🦙
Spotless facilities, beautiful surroundings and such a lovely family-friendly atmosphere. We’ll definitely be back! 🌿💚

Powered grass tent campsite
Liked The hosts were brilliant and accomodating toilets and shower and washing area were fantastic
Disliked Only thing I can say is could do with another set of toilets as when your at other end of the site its a little far in the night other than that what amazing site

Summer time camping at Alton village
Powered grass tent campsite
Liked The location is great , we wanted to be on the edge of the Peak District to go hiking daily & explore, the views are lovely from the campsite and the sheep & alpaca were cute. It’s a nice sized campsite not too big and it’s well organised , toilet / shower block was clean & tidy. I loved the walk way around the campsite so you could walk a big loop with your dog.
Disliked I think the toilet / shower block is too small for this site , 2 showers & 2 toilets x 2 for men & women so 4 in all , is not enough , I even waited until 11 pm at night and still had to wait to use the shower , I’d like to be able to chose our pitch but the staff were not on site that day , we needed shade for our dog it was a really warm week which was not expected. We wanted the pitch next to us which was annoying as no one was on it for our whole stay. Unfortunately the night before we left 3 tents with 3 families arrived and they were really noisy , staying up late talking and up early with kids screaming & shouting
A shame because everyone else was lovely.
