  • Peaceful, well-maintained and family-run park in a central setting
  • Safe direct access link to the Shropshire Union Canal for strolls
  • Fish at three fishing lakes for a fee; bar/bistro two minutes' stroll
Cheshire countryside, anyone? In a setting that's quite rightly been pointed out as central to pretty much anywhere? Easily sorted when pitching up at Sunny Side Touring Park. Set in green countryside with loads of open space, Sunny Side is central indeed: it's about 20 minutes by car to the Welsh border from here, 45 minutes to Wrexham, 50 to Shrewsbury and Chester, an hour to Alton Towers, and an hour and 15 minutes to both Liverpool and Manchester. And if you're after a peaceful base where you don't want to wander far at all? Also easily sorted, as Sunny Side's Nantwich setting is metres from the Shropshire Union Canal for spectacularly scenic strolls or bike rides along the water. There's also a bar/bistro a couple minutes' stroll away. On site, there are three fishing lakes where guests can fish for an extra cost. They stock up to 40-pound carp and catfish. Sunny Side is family run, and allows only a handful of pitches on site to keep its quiet and relaxed vibe. Barbecues and campfires are both allowed: sort supplies a couple of miles away in the friendly little village of Audlem, where there are restaurants and pubs as well as shops. A handy utilities room on site gives guests access to a washing machine, washing-up sinks, a microwave and a kettle.

What customers say

A tidy, friendly site with spotless facilities & helpful staff, plus a pub! Beautiful location near canal walks. Some say more showers/toilets needed at busy times.

Liked We stayed at Sunny Side Touring Park for 1 night (August) and loved it! Great location, very clean facilities, and plenty of space. The atmosphere is welcoming and perfect for families. There’s even a lovely little bar on site. I’d definitely recommend and go again!

Disliked Lack of information on arrival.

Powered gravel and cement/asphalt travel trailer campsite (adults only, lake view)

Liked Size of pitch. Nice view of lake.

Disliked Paid a premium price for adult only pitch, only to have children running up and down by the lake in front of pitch and kindly leaving their rubbish. No signs to advise adult only area. Only two ladies showers and three toilets to accommodate 90 combined pitches.

Powered gravel and cement/asphalt travel trailer campsite

Liked Wide open space in the camping field. Bar nearby.

Disliked When we arrived, our hard standing pitch had been allocated to someone else. We were placed in the camping field which was about as far away from the toilets as you could get. Noisy campers kept us up until the early hours, with no attempt made to silence them by the warden, and upon leaving in the morning the toilet disposal point was overflowing and the floor was awash with urine. Certainly wouldn’t recommend here at all.

Powered grass tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked When we arrived, we were greeted with a friendly welcome and the kids were able to get ice creams from the small on-site shop. The onsite pub was a great addition and we were able to watch football one night and have a Sunday lunch.

Disliked There are limited facilities and these were not cleaned as regularly as they should have been. The checklist on the wall hadn’t been ticked for 3 days and it was evident that’s the toilets and showers had not been cleaned during this time either. We did speak to the manager who promptly addressed this, however we would expect these to be cleaned on a more regular basis and certainly daily.

Local attractions

The canal and a public footpath alongside are steps from the site. From Nantwich, stroll the couple of miles along the level canal towpath for views over town and the Cheshire countryside, passing the Chester Road viaduct and many moored and cruising narrowboats (to get truly envious, lurk around the marina at Basin End). A couple of pubs at Audlem overlook the canal if/when you require a pitstop. To dive into all things canal and have a natter on the same with knowledgeable types, drop into the Nantwich Canal Centre within 10 minutes' drive. You could also have mightily peaceful potters around the town's shops and wine bars, or the market that runs most days. The leisure centre has an outdoor saltwater pool for dips. Another market town is at Whitchurch, 20 minutes' drive away and two miles from the Welsh border. It's well worth a wander to see its 100+ listed buildings, and to bag foodie supplies from the speciality shops in town: cheese and pork pies are the top picks to hunt down here. From Whitchurch, you can take the train to Manchester, reachable in an hour to the north, or Shrewsbury, half an hour south.
