  • Friendly site in the grounds of historic Stretton House
  • A 10-minute drive from Pickmere Lake; and 20 minutes from Manley Mere
  • Farm shop nearby; barbecues and firepits allowed
If you like the sound of having farm shops and ice cream farms nearby, as well as access to lots of walking and cycling trails, Stretton House Campsite should be a fine pick for you. It has a strict no noise policy after 10pm, meaning that you should get a peaceful night's sleep too. This site is in the grounds of the 400-year-old Stretton House surrounded by the Cheshire countryside with handy transport links nearby and outdoor activities in no short supply… that includes things like alpaca walking, golf or Manley Mere’s watersports haven (a 20-minute drive away for the latter). You’ll have your pick of two fields, both with car parking by the pitch free of charge and dogs allowed. There are basic facilities including a mobile freshwater toilet block with male and female facilities and a water standpipe. You’ll have permission to start up a barbecue or firepit too (subject to the correct safety measures). When you’re ready to get going, the friendly owners will be willing to help out however they can and suggest possible days out, which may include fishing or walking at Pickmere Lake (10 minutes’ drive), visiting an ice cream farm (within 10 minutes’ drive of the site) or going to the local golf course (five minutes’ drive). For food, there’s a farm shop just two minutes’ walk away from the site where you’ll be able to get your hands on local produce. Pubs aren’t far away either – there is one pub five minutes' walk away, and another 15 minutes' walk away. Festival goers are very welcome, and the Creamfields Festival site is five minutes’ drive away. Please respect the quiet hours (no noise is permitted after 10pm) and environment, as the owners' home is on the grounds (and stick to the field's facilities only).

What customers say

This campsite offers a friendly, quiet, and clean experience with spacious pitches and good facilities, including modern washrooms. Its location is praised for easy access to highways and proximity to a farm store and local pubs. The site is popular for festivals, with owners providing helpful shuttle services. While generally well-regarded, some visitors find it pricey for the basic amenities, with occasional comments on limited facilities or ground conditions after rain.

Liked Absolutely amazing weekend here! The owner was great, when we initially arrived he opened up the second field for us and that was brilliant. We ordered a fire mat for collection online and we could pick it up a couple hours later, which is a great idea in my opinion as you could also buy other things like wood and even eggs.
The toilet facilities were always clean and we had no issues the whole weekend!
Thank you for an amazing stay :)

Liked Been coming for 2 years now and for us there is nothing to dislike. Choose your own area to pitch. The owners Paul and Carla are super friendly. Extremely helpful with any issues you may have.
We stay in a touring caravan but the site facilities are excellent. Toilets are constantly maintained to a high standard.
As is the rest of the site. Easy access from the motorway. Literally 2 mins.
If it’s peace and quiet your after then this is the place to be.

Liked clean facilities
Not busy so lots of space

Disliked This was a last minute trip and school holidays so didn’t have lot choice , it is very expensive at £30 pn for non electric and you have to pay extra if you wish to have a shower maybe a playground installed would be good for kids of charging so much . This has put me of staying again

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Hi Gemma,

Thank you so much for staying with us and taking the time to leave a review.

I am glad you enjoyed the large pitch size and cleanliness of the site. Sorry to hear you didn't get to book your stay until the last minute and so didn't have much choice on where to stay.

You seem to have marked us down for the price and charging for showers primarily. This seems a little unfair as the price and cost of showers are clearly advertised before you decide to book...

We do plan to install a play area for children in the future but to mark us down for not having something we don't advertise doesn't me sense.

Sorry to see you wont be staying again or recommending us.

All the best,

Paul
