  • 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.

Powered grass tent site

Liked Great campsite for our few days at Alton Towers. Pitches were a good size and staff were very friendly. Kids play area was fantastic and food in the pub was good!
As previously mentioned the road can be quite noisy but they provide earplugs for this reason.

Pub Car Park unpowered concrete slab caravan site

Liked Good site. Parked campervan in country pub car park. Plenty of room. Stayed 3 nights. Road nearby, but did not find it noisy. We all slept very well. Site near Alton Towers & Monkey Forest, which we visited both. Toilets and shower clean.
Owner friendly and accommodating.

Unpowered grass campervan or tent site

Liked Excellent location and very good pitches that were well keep. The site is next to a busy road but that was not bother and the owners do provide you with free ear plugs. The food in the food was really good with friendly staff.

Disliked The only thing that ruined the trip and this is no fault of the campsite was the feral / vile children from other families running around and causing trouble.

Good site and made to feel very welcome lots of different pitches

Powered grass site

Liked Friendly landlord and very helpful - allowed to choose own pitch within the EHU field. Pub food excellent and fab staff.

Disliked Not enough showers/toilets for the size of the camp. Shower was hot and no ‘cut off button’ so plentiful.

No ‘drive over’ grey waste water drain so had to fill buckets to take to disposal area.

There is road noise but to be expected as on a main road.
