  • Family-friendly camping 15 minutes’ drive from Crewe in rural Cheshire
  • Chester Zoo and Blue Planet Aquarium both 50 minutes’ drive
  • Dog-walking area; pubs within 10 minutes’ drive
Neat as a new pin, spacious, level and divided by young saplings. That’ll be the hardstanding and grass pitches at Oakwood Campsite, a family-friendly spot bordering farmland and set 10 minutes’ drive from the conservation village of Church Minshull in rural Cheshire. All the requisites for a relaxed break with family and friends are on hand at this well-maintained site: a modern shower block with baby-changing amenities and a wet room for the mobility impaired, pot washing, water stations, chemical waste disposal, recycling bins and charging points. You may want to eat breakfast and lunch at Minshull’s Garden Centre (10 minutes’ walk), and if you fancy dining out in the evening, there are several pubs within 10 minutes’ drive, as well as takeaways and fast-food outlets in Crewe (15 minutes’ drive). Your canine companions are welcome, and there’s a dedicated dog-walking area on site – please keep them on leads around the pitches. You can also exercise them (and yourselves of course) on longer expeditions down the Shropshire Union Canal towpath.

What customers say

A grand spot, well looked after with plenty of room and top-notch facilities. Folks loved the warm welcome and quiet vibe. Good security and handy for getting about and for a stroll. A few grumbles about shower heat and bins, and some found the electric and dog fees a bit steep.

Mark A.

Electric optional grass tent, touring caravan or trailer tent pitch

Liked Very well maintained and clean facilities.
Easy to get too (car + caravan)
Loads of space around pitches for the kids

Disliked Extra charge of £6 per night per child seemed a bit high to me.
Especially on a metered hookup (I.e. using more you're paying for it).

From the manager: Thank you

Electric optional hardstanding touring pitch

Liked Perfectly level pitches with acres of space. Plenty of fresh water on site, and the flashiest loos & showers I've ever seen on a site! When quiet (only 1 other pitch occupied, as mid week) the wildlife was a bonus - Hare on the camping field & Great Spotted Woodpecker in the surrounding trees. View across to the Welsh hills when clear enough.

Local attractions

Head to the medieval town of Nantwich (15 minutes’ drive) to sample local produce in the indoor market (open Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday); the site owners run a cheese stall there and offer a discount to their camping guests. You can also browse indie shops and antique dealers, admire higgledy-piggledy half-timbered houses or take strolls along the River Weaver Keep the kids happy with a visit to the elephants, big cats and rhinos at Chester Zoo, or learn more about rays and sharks at Blue Planet Aquarium (both 50 minutes). The bucket-list theme park Alton Towers (an hour and 10 minutes) has extreme rollercoasters as well as gentle rides for toddlers in CBeebies Land. Any rainy days can be taken care of in Crewe (15 minutes); simply head for the bowling alleys at Tenpin Crewe or catch a film at the neighbouring cinema. If you’re keen to maintain your fitness regime, you can swim lengths of the pool and train in the gym at Crewe Lifestyle Centre.
