  • A 10-minute drive from Alton Towers and Uttoxeter Racecourse
  • Large family-friendly bar and restaurant with events and takeaways
  • Spacious beer garden with play area and large climbing frame
Up for theme park thrills? New Broom Camping and Caravan Site is 10 minutes' drive away from Alton Towers – and has a comfy number of amenities to have you sorted on site too. Set in two peaceful acres with flat grass pitches, the park has a traditional pub (which is both large and family-friendly) with a family restaurant. There's also a big beer garden with a play area. And it's all in the small Staffordshire village of Checkley, a short drive away from Uttoxeter Racecourse and The Potteries as well as Alton Towers. The pub serves decently priced drinks and meals including carvery, cooked breakfasts and pizza (pizza is available for takeaway too). It's got a pool table for evenings of friendly competition, and hosts regular events such as rock nights, tribute nights and darts nights. New Broom also has a toilet/shower facility that guests can use free of charge, 24 hours a day.

What customers say

Great atmosphere, helpful staff & good pub grub. Handy for Alton Towers! Clean and good value, but toilets/showers are basic/dated for some. Road noise can bother a few (earplugs offered). Pitches mostly good, but can feel a bit tight.

Powered grass tent campsite

Liked Friendly team, spacious pitches, flat pitches and the amazing pub food.

Disliked Busy road can be noisy so take good earplugs. Only 1 shower for each gender and 2x toilets. We didn’t have to wait but can imagine on peak dates there would be a queue.
