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.

What customers say

Fantastic views & chill vibes. Spacious, tidy sites with super clean loos. Friendly owners help a lot. Great base for Tittesworth & The Roaches. Local pub's a short walk. A few gentle slopes & no showers noted, but overall guests love it and want to come back.

Unpowered grass tent or trailer tent site

Liked Friendly host
Excellent pitch size.
Maximum of 12 pitches so never going to be cramped.
Only 2 toilets but they were the cleanest and most well equipped I have ever seen on a campsite.
Washing up area even had washing up liquid to use :)
The horses and sheep were adorable.
Fab views.

Disliked A little bit of road noise but tbh the positives easily make up for it.

Liked What a remarkable destination!

The breathtaking views of the Roaches are nothing short of spectacular.

The facilities were impeccably clean and easy to locate, even in the dark.

Our host was very welcoming, making us feel right at home, and the best part? We had the entire place to ourselves.

Liked I have visited this site twice and love the views of the Roaches. The hosts are super friendly and helpful. Very quiet site, so perfect if you’re looking for that.

Disliked Not the fault of the owners but the site is on a tiny slope in certain spots, not a problem but worth noting.
