  • 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 grand spot, spotless and well-kept, with top-notch staff. Facilities are brilliant, loos and showers gleaming, and the pub's a grand spot too. Perfect for canal walks, it's peaceful for families and couples. Mostly brilliant feedback, just a few notes on shower times and limited facilities when busy.

Electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked This was my children’s 1st time camping. They all loved it, all the tents where at a reasonable distance apart, water was close, everyone was very friendly. As a parent the thing that I liked was that they came round and asked for all the kids to go back to their own tents at around 10pm so as not to disturb others. You could go on a short walk or drive to the local marina 2 minutes drive 5/10 minutes walk, at the marina there was a charity boat that you could go on to the local village that would take you there and back. My children's age range is from 9 to 17 and they all loved it.

Electric grass touring pitch

Liked Sunny side touring park is in an excellent position. The walk along the Grand union canal to the nearby village is very interesting and the glorious sunny weather made it all the more enjoyable. There is the stagger inn that provides refreshments along with entertainment and there are 3 lakes on the property that are available to fish at an extra cost. The site owners were very welcoming and fixed our electric hook up very quickly when it was not working. The site has clean showers and toilet block.

Disliked The fact that people are reminded by a notice to turn the light off in the shower block when leaving. If you are in the shower you are left in pitch black.

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.
