  • 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.

Primitive grass campervan campsite

Liked: Perfect for day trippers, safe space with nice clean toilets. Lovely friendly owners. Stunning views of the surrounding area. Quiet site with sheep and horses. 4g signal and local takeaways will deliver. (no showers or EHU but it does clearly state that in the ad).

Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked: It was nice and quiet with lovely scenery. The owners are extremely welcoming giving us the lowdown on what is near in terms of things to do including pubs and restaurants. They have chemical disposal and toilets. We both enjoyed our stay and will be back. Plenty of walks if you enjoy that and it was very peaceful.

Disliked: There is nothing to dislike really. Any amenities they don't have is clearly listed so you won't be disappointed when you arrive.

Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked: It was just perfect. Lovely small site, with loads of space between pitches. Very clean toilets. Easy to find and although near a main road, set back enough that couldn’t hear traffic. Lovely views & 2 mins walk from a pub that did very nice food. The best bit was the ‘host’ was lovely - very friendly & helpful. I will definitely go again.

Disliked: Nothing!

Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked: Small, but very pleasant site with friendly and helpful hosts. Lovely views from site which is part of a small holding. Clearly marked and level pitches. Lovely views to go to sleep and wake up to. Clean toilets

Disliked: No shower block, so may not suit tent campers, if wanting to stay for some time.
