Super tidy, spacious site with great views and staff. Perfect for Alton Towers, it's a peaceful escape. Kids love the play area and animals. Showers can be brief and facilities busy at peak times.

Close to Alton Towers for a short break
Powered grass tent site
Liked Nice play area, small animals in farm, clean toilets, very close to Alton Towers and lovely local walk.
Disliked Facilities were not fantastic, but they were adequate for a short break.
Freezer was very small and did not freeze our blocks. The play park was nice , but small and a bit run down, suited a 6yr old for short periods.

Liked Site was secure & well maintained. Quiet site, good pitch & facilities. We were also able to borrow an electric hook up lead as ours was too short. Very close to Alton where both the Bridge House & Talbot were great to drink & eat at. Also the Denstone Hall Farm Shop & Tavern in Denstone were worth a visit

Liked Out of all places I have been too! This has so be one of the best!
I soloed here for the weekend, its quite clean and showers after a long hike are amazing! The play area is sweet for kids and everyone is friendly. It was that good I’m returning again! Owners really go about and beyond great example campers that also turned up were a little short on their extension cord owners did not hesitate to lone an extra extension.
It’s really really highly maintained with a beautiful view!
So if you are in this way definitely consider this as a great place for the family or for Solo trips!
See you guys again!
Disliked Nothing absolutely brilliant!

We loved it here.
Powered grass tent site
Liked Lovely quiet site. Great, plenty of space for the kids to play and they loved the animals. Very clean and tidy. Lovely clean showers and toilets. The family shower room was handy too for showering with young children. We stayed here as we were going to Alton Towers- it’s a 5 min drive so the perfect base for a trip to the theme park.
Disliked The push button showers only stay on for a few seconds at a time.

Bell tent
Liked ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
We had a fantastic stay at Lower Micklin Touring Park in a bell tent and couldn’t have asked for a better experience. The site is beautifully maintained, peaceful, and surrounded by stunning countryside views.
The bell tent was clean, comfortable, and well-equipped, making it a perfect glamping experience. The facilities throughout the park were spotless and clearly well looked after. The location is ideal, especially for visiting Alton Towers, which is only a short drive away.
What really stood out was the warm welcome and friendliness of the owners, who went above and beyond to make our stay enjoyable. The atmosphere was relaxed, family-friendly, and perfect for unwinding.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend Lower Micklin Touring Park to anyone looking for a peaceful getaway or a convenient base for exploring the area. We will definitely be returning!
