  • 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 campsite by a popular pub with friendly service and good food. Facilities are clean but basic. Pitches are mostly spacious, but some find them close. Road noise noted, but earplugs provided. Ideal base for Alton Towers.

Pub Car Park primitive cement/asphalt travel trailer campsite

Liked It’s a great site and plenty of room. We upgraded to a field pitch. Play area nice enough. Food excellent. View lovely. Just down the road is a community centre with another playground and a Milk shed selling coffee, mulkshakes and fresh produce. Lovely local football too.

Disliked Wanted to get my wrench out to fix up the playground. One swing missing which caused a bit of kid drama, but they worked it out. Quite close to a main road, which is busier than normal right now due to road works, but it wasn’t too bad.

Powered grass tent campsite

Liked Lovely place. With friendly service and good facilities. Plenty of space and well maintained grounds

Disliked Sadly the noise from the road. This isn’t the campsite fault as the main road has a diversion right past the campsite. They did give us earplugs to help. But it didn’t solve the issue entirely

Powered cement/asphalt and grass travel trailer campsite

Liked Smooth pitch, electric hook up close to pitch area. Plenty of space. Clean and tidy camp area. Plenty of takeaways close by that deliver promptly.

Disliked Not a very peaceful place to pitch up. Road noise is constant throughout the night. Shower block only has one shower per toilet block (male & Female). Rude people making noise at all hours, slamming car doors and car alarms going off at night. Wash area not well kept but does have hot water to clean pots etc. The camp is situated well out of the way of amenities and doesn't offer much in way of walks etc.

Powered grass tent campsite

Liked Staff and owners are amazing and can't do enough for you. Food at the pub is pretty good and reasonably priced. The breakfast is excellent! Site is clean & tidy

Disliked Not a dislike but only one shower & toilet block so can have a bit of a wait. Staff keep them really clean though.
