What’s not to love about this campsite? Forest View Inn Caravan Park has a mini-farm chock full of friendly animals just waiting to welcome your kids – and there’s something for adults too, as the site has its own pub. Set on the outer edges of Delamere Forest in Cheshire, pitching up here also gives you access to all the forest’s walking and cycling routes. On this friendly, family-run camping and caravanning site, there is a scattering of large, non-electric grass and gravel tent pitches, all with spectacular forest views and surrounded by seasonal wild flowers. The pitches share facilities with the main campsite – they’re no more than a couple of minutes’ walk – and The Forest View country pub is about the same distance away. It opens for food from late afternoon during the week, and from lunchtime onwards at the weekend. Kids are welcome, and there’s always a traditional guest ale on tap. If the weather is playing ball, sit outside on the terrace, and if not, there’s plenty of seating inside. Of course the kids will want to meet the emus, chickens, pigs, goats and donkeys on the mini-farm too, so the chances are you won’t get to stay for long in the pub.

Non-electric grass and earth tent pitch

Liked: Beautiful views of the forest and a truly lovely campsite! This was our first time camping with our 5 year old twins and they loved it. They loved seeing the animals in the morning and helping feed the horses. The noisy pig brought lots of giggles at bedtime! Shelly was so kind and helpful, as were the people in the pub who put a kids film on the tv while we waited for our takeaway pizza. We will definitely return :)

Non-electric grass and earth tent pitch

Liked: Lovely location, friendly site staff and a great little pub with the friendliest Barman in England.
The views from my tent were lovely, I have a great stay.

Disliked: For me the measure of a campsite is the shower. It was hot and had good pressure so that was good. I will admit that the shower/toilet block has seen better days but it was clean and everything worked as it should.
