  • Peaceful setting overlooking the Cheshire Plain, close to Whitchurch
  • On National Cycle Route 47, and near Sandstone Trail walkers’ path
  • Within easy reach of pubs with gin nights and authentic curries
Looking for a peaceful spot where you don’t have to sacrifice the luxury of nearby pubs and restaurants? Head to Cheshire site Marbury Camp and Lodge, where you can look out over the Cheshire Plain by day and devour pub grub by night – the team on site can point you towards gin evenings and excellent curries… a winning combo after a day of exploring. Speaking of exploring, there are enough walks and bike routes around to ensure you get your fill of countryside. The site is right on a national cycle route so make sure you pack your bike helmet – the site owners can help with bike hire and a map of the local cycle routes too. If walking is more your thing you can link up with the Sandstone Trail for 34 miles of unbroken, and often elevated, walking. The outdoor adventures don’t stop there, as this place is a great base for golfing, shooting and fishing as well, with all found within around four miles of the site. Worn out just by reading the activities dotted around? There’s also plenty to do if you’re after a more chilled day. The nearby local market towns of Whitchurch (three miles away) and Nantwich (eight miles) have various market days and plenty of shopping, eating and drinking options. Supplies can also be sourced closer to home in the village of Wrenbury, a mile away. Site amenities include a shower block and chemical disposal, and there's also the option to hire firepits (subject to availability).

Disliked Have to get there early as you cannot book a designated pitch. Lots of kids running around our tent, tripping on the tent ropes but I know that’s not the site owners fault

Laura B. The reviewer booked through Pitchup.com

Power optional grass tent campsite

Liked How clean the campsite was.. wash areas kept very clean.
Lovely open space. Lots of room to play.

Disliked Pitches aren't marked out so tents are placed where people put them, sometimes taking up multiple spaces. For us this meant no simple access to an electric hook up. With a disabled child this caused some worries about charging equipment needed every day. Was not aware campsite had extensions which solved the issue.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for the glowing review. Usually we have markers out but we had removed them this week due to some children re-enacting Lord of the Flies Rated 18 Version!!!

Excellent site with brilliant and friendly owners / management.

Power optional grass tent campsite

Liked They had freezers on site you could use. Shower and toilet block always stocked and clean.
The fire pits you can hire are brilliant.
Owners/managers were really helpful and clearly take pride in their site.
Already planning to book again.

Disliked Water pressure in showers could have been a bit stronger.
Whilst the shop was really nice and stocked some nice things it doesn't stock the basics/ bare essentials which would be nice.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for the glowing review... Water pressure is 3 bars so is as powerful as we can get onsite. With regards to the shop we currently don't do anything fresh, if you can give us some feedback as to what you would like to see in the shop then we can adapt as needed. We have spoken to a local farm shop with a view to supplying breakfast hampers.Love the photos you have put on....

Anonymous The reviewer booked through Pitchup.com

Power optional cement/asphalt and grass travel trailer campsite

Liked Pitches were spacious. You could pitch up anywhere on the touring pitches instead of being given a pitch which may not be suited to our needs. Toilet block was basic but clean and showers were lovely and hot lovely dog walk area which was enclosed and safe to let dogs off the lead

Disliked Only downside for us were the toilet main doors banging shut day and night may benefit from a buffer to stop the bang especially if you are right next to the toilets like we were. The electric hook up is only 6 amp so good job we didn’t need our heating on

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Aloha,

Thanks for the review. In response:

1. When you say you can pitch anywhere on the touring pitches, I assume you mean that you can pick which of the 7 hardstandings (all next to each other) you want to use, in which case, that's correct.
2. As to the loo doors banging it's the first I've heard of it. 5 min job to adjust the closers now done. All you needed to do was mention it. I'm not allowed to hang around outside toilets anymore (the judge said so) so I wouldn't have known sorry.
3. I'm hesitant to say but it's acually more than 6 amp on the tourer pitches. What we don't want to encourage is power hungry campers as we don't have the infrastructure for that. A1.4kw camping heater or your gas heater would have been fine.

All the best and how you fine somewhere else to your liking next time.

Cheers,

D

Excellent site and freindly staff with clean toilet / shower block.

Local attractions

Marbury Camp and Lodge is on the National Cycle Network's Route 47, a fine option for leisure riders, serious biking types and all those in between. There are also walks in all directions, with the Sandstone Trail walkers’ haven around 12 miles from the site. For a spot of sightseeing, set out to soak up the culture at a number of churches and castles nearby. For some gothic architecture head to Combermere Abbey (around 10 minutes' drive) or Cholmondeley Castle Gardens (about 15 minutes). The medieval Beeston Castle (20 minutes) comes with spectacular views and a 40-acre woodland park to amble about in. Several of the surrounding towns have a lot to offer here. As well as Whitchurch there's also Nantwich (15 minutes), known for its listed buildings and annual cheese show (yum). Crewe is also a short drive away (about half an hour) if you still haven’t got your fill of eating, drinking, shopping and sightseeing.
