Stunning views

  • Simple, well-kept Staffordshire campsite on a quiet smallholding
  • Five minutes' drive from Leek; just off the A53
  • On the southern edge of the Peak District, with views of The Roaches
Set in scenic Staffordshire on the southern edge of the Peak District National Park, Beech Villa Camping is a secluded smallholding that's home to horses, a few sheep and a handful of camping pitches. The Roaches, a prominent ridge of hills that can be seen in the distance, provide a stunning backdrop and can be easily accessed on foot. There are also local walking trails to the nearby Tittesworth Water (where a range of watersports are available), Lud's Church chasm and lots of other nature spots. (And if nature's not the thing for your kids, how about a day out at Alton Towers, 25 minutes' drive away?) This site has simple facilities, including a washing-up area for pots and pans and toilets. Although conveniently close to the A53, the site is set back from the road so it still feels peaceful. Barbecues are allowed as long as they're kept off the ground to protect the grass, and small firepits are permitted as long as they are raised off the ground and properly monitored. Two dogs per pitch are welcome (but please keep them on leads at all times). The local area is home to a number of excellent pubs, including the waterside Lazy Trout in Meerbrook (a mile and a half away, close to the reservoir) and Ye Olde Rock Inn (a mile away up the A53), which has been faithfully serving locals and visitors since 1816. If you don't fancy travelling that far, it's handy to know there's also a much closer pub about two minutes' walk from the site, serving up drinks and dinners.

Unpowered grass campervan site

Liked: Lovely host. Site exactly as described. Great views of The Roaches, Hen Cloud etc. Nice pub 2 mins walk away selling basics. Pitches are a really good size but not completely level so bring levelling blocks. We were also very fortunate with the weather.

Disliked: N/a

Unpowered grass tent or trailer tent site

Liked: The owners are very lovely. Welcomed us, gave us all the information we needed including how to get to where we wanted to walk.
It was clean and tidy little camp site. Not over crowded.
Stunning sun set which was worth the camp site fee alone.
Camp site feels secure as there is two gates and the house of the owners before the camp site.
Walking is great. We walked to Tittesworth reservoir on a loop walk, this had two pubs on it. The Lazy trout is well worth a visit, try the KFC burger. In easy reach to the roaches. And in a car ludds church, Thors cave and three shires head.
Lots of horses and sheep around the site, the horse in front of us was a little cheeky.

Disliked: Shame they don't my have showers as this would mean we would stay over longer.

From the manager: Thank you so much Kirsty for the lovely review x we are hoping to have a shower installed either this year or next x
