  • A 10-minute drive from Alton Towers and Uttoxeter Racecourse
  • Large family-friendly bar and restaurant with events and takeaways
  • Spacious beer garden with play area and large climbing frame
Up for theme park thrills? New Broom Camping and Caravan Site is 10 minutes' drive away from Alton Towers – and has a comfy number of amenities to have you sorted on site too. Set in two peaceful acres with flat grass pitches, the park has a traditional pub (which is both large and family-friendly) with a family restaurant. There's also a big beer garden with a play area. And it's all in the small Staffordshire village of Checkley, a short drive away from Uttoxeter Racecourse and The Potteries as well as Alton Towers. The pub serves decently priced drinks and meals including carvery, cooked breakfasts and pizza (pizza is available for takeaway too). It's got a pool table for evenings of friendly competition, and hosts regular events such as rock nights, tribute nights and darts nights. New Broom also has a toilet/shower facility that guests can use free of charge, 24 hours a day.

What customers say

Lovely, welcoming spot with great pub grub, perfect for Alton Towers trips. Toilets and showers are generally fine, though a bit basic. Road noise can be an issue, but earplugs are provided. Kids love the playground.

Esther W.

Powered concrete and grass caravan site

Liked Such a great site, loved the area we were in was gated with a code, made us feel safe.
Toilets and showers were clean and fresh looking. We ate twice in the pub and can i say, it was amazing, all home cooked and fresh and staff were wonderful.
We used the site as a base and spent everyday in the local area, inc Alton Towers, Thors Cave and Shugborough House (Natiinal Trust) its was nice to come and go as we pleased and though close to main road, it didnt bother us at all.
Would love to return in the warmer months to make use of the pub garden.
Over all its a great site and we will be back.

Disliked I cant really think of anything we didnt like

Pub Car Park unpowered concrete slab caravan site

Liked Nice food in the pub, welcoming host and nice warm toilet/shower block.
Proximity to Alton Towers (although is about 20 minutes drive not 10 as stated somewhere on the website)

Disliked Road noise - didn’t bother us but could be a problem if you are a light sleeper.

Powered grass tent site

Liked We had a wonderful stay at Accommodation Camping. We stayed here so we could visit the local attraction, Alton Towers. The location is really lovely and scenic. way to make sure everything was perfect. The pub/restaurant itself is cosy - the food menu looked good with plenty of choice, although we didn’t eat here. The toilet and shower facilities were also clean and of a good standard. The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, and the owner went out of his He even provided us with earplugs for the nearby road traffic, which was such a thoughtful touch. It felt very warm and personal, which made the experience even better. I’d definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a nice getaway.
