  • 'Sparkling showers and huge pitches'
  • Set on 10 acres two miles from Alton Towers
  • Spectacular countryside on the edge of the Peak District
To Alton Towers! Staffordshire's popular Lower Micklin Touring Park is just five minutes' drive from the whirls and rides of this most exciting theme park to have the kids most excited; you might need a second day there just to make sure you get round the lot... And Lower Micklin is also at the edge of the Peak District and a few miles from Uttoxeter Racecourse for more Staffs holiday happenings. A public footpath walk leads to Alton village and the local pub is half a mile away by footpath or country lane. (Miles of other walks are all around: just look up at the walls on site when you're doing the washing-up: you'll see what's meant by that when you get there...) Lower Micklin is set in 10 acres of grassland with plenty of space for the kids to run around and a one-kilometre track for big folk to walk or jog. It has new heated shower and toilet facilities with free hot water and a family bathroom with toilet, shower, basin and baby changing unit. The park also has rubbish and recycling facilities, covered washing-up sinks with hot water and – a tad more excitement for the sprogs – a ball field with goal posts and a play area with slide, swings and a climbing wall. For Alton eats, local takeaways deliver to the site, and both Alton and Denston close by have food shops and pubs.

What customers say

Fantastic, peaceful site near Alton Towers. Praised for clean facilities, spacious pitches, friendly staff & alpacas. Showers short, Wi-Fi patchy. Stunning views though!

Liked The campsite was absolutely wonderful. The environment was peaceful, clean and very well organised. The lady who welcomed us was incredibly kind, helpful and made us feel at home from the moment we arrived. You can really see the care and dedication. It was a lovely place to stay with family.

Disliked Nothing at all. Everything was excellent.

Liked Great stay! The site is incredibly clean and peaceful with stunning views of the surrounding countryside. We loved that each pitch has its own dedicated space, providing excellent privacy. It was a fantastic experience, and we’ve already decided to book another holiday here soon. Highly recommended!

Disliked We had a wonderful time and really enjoyed the peace and the views. However, one minor issue was the layout of the electric hook-ups. It would be much better if every pitch had its own individual power point directly on-site; as it stands, my power cable was only just long enough to reach. Just a heads-up for others to bring a long extension lead! Despite this, we still love the place and will be back.

Liked The site was peaceful and quiet, the kids loved the play area and meeting the animals.

We had a super pitch but all of them seemed a fair size and laid out nicely so everyone wasn't on top of each other.
The barrier entrance helped us feel the kids were safer with no cars approaching unexpectedly.

It's about 10 mins from Alton Towers so perfect for those going for the day. There's also a bus stop outside (we didn't use it) which is convenient.

Shops and pubs are about 5 mins away.

Disliked We didn't use the facilities much but my 7 year old missed having a hair dryer after his shower.

Liked Excellent site in lovely surroundings. Good amenities and nice hard standing, level pitches. When we arrived a lovely chap booked us in and told us everything we needed to know about the site. Short drive or walk into Alton that has some lovely pubs. Would definitely stay here again and highly recommend.

Disliked Only slight niggle, the wifi is non existent 5 pitches away from the amenities block, luckily phone signal was ok.
