  • Simple, well-kept Staffordshire campsite on a quiet smallholding
  • Five minutes' drive from Leek; just off the A53
  • On the southern edge of the Peak District, with views of The Roaches
Set in scenic Staffordshire on the southern edge of the Peak District National Park, Beech Villa Camping is a secluded smallholding that's home to horses, a few sheep and a handful of camping pitches. The Roaches, a prominent ridge of hills that can be seen in the distance, provide a stunning backdrop and can be easily accessed on foot. There are also local walking trails to the nearby Tittesworth Water (where a range of watersports are available), Lud's Church chasm and lots of other nature spots. (And if nature's not the thing for your kids, how about a day out at Alton Towers, 25 minutes' drive away?) This site has simple facilities, including a washing-up area for pots and pans and toilets. Although conveniently close to the A53, the site is set back from the road so it still feels peaceful. Barbecues are allowed as long as they're kept off the ground to protect the grass, and small firepits are permitted as long as they are raised off the ground and properly monitored. Two dogs per pitch are welcome (but please keep them on leads at all times). The local area is home to a number of excellent pubs, including the waterside Lazy Trout in Meerbrook (a mile and a half away, close to the reservoir) and Ye Olde Rock Inn (a mile away up the A53), which has been faithfully serving locals and visitors since 1816. If you don't fancy travelling that far, it's handy to know there's also a much closer pub about two minutes' walk from the site, serving up drinks and dinners.

What customers say

Quiet, clean site with generous pitches and great views of The Roaches. Friendly hosts, spotless facilities. Horses and sheep are a bonus! Good value, though hot water is sometimes missing. Great for walks, pub nearby.

SAMANTHA T.

Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked Lovely quiet small site, firepits allowed, clean toilets, views of the roaches and surrounding hills. Huge pitches , numbered well, very happy with plot 8 and horses and sheep right in front of us. Thankyou to the owners for letting us book another night. Oh and good phone signal for the teen. Farm shop up the road, easily walkable and about an hour walk to the roaches

Disliked Nothing to dislike , maybe slight road noise may bother some

Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked We just camped for one night in our roof tent and it was lovely. The owner opened up the gate for us and let us know where to go and where the toilet facilities were. We were the only ones in the campsite that evening which was nice. Very chilled with the horses running around. Great views and incredibly clean toilets, with access to cold water.

Disliked A light sleeper may be affected by the road noise, as larger noisier vehicles woke me up a couple of times. We know this is completely out of the control of the owner though.

Liked This was a great little site. Really friendly owners and convenient to get up to the Roaches for a run (which is what I was there for). Toilets and washing up facilities exactly as described. Views were great and the horses and fouls were adorable.

Disliked Nothing.

Primitive grass campervan campsite

Liked Large pitches. Clean toilets. Views of the roaches. Friendly hosts. Horses. Fire pit use. Quiet

Disliked No hot water for washing up.
Location is great but no immediate access to walking trails for the dogs - either have to drive off or walk along busy road.

From the manager: Thank you for the review, it does state no hot water when booking, the walk is via a road for 30 yards before you get on a side road, there is footpaths the whole way.
