  • Dog-friendly shepherd’s hut on a farm 10 minutes’ drive from Knutsford
  • Jodrell Bank UNESCO site 15 minutes’ drive and Chester Zoo 45 minutes
  • Well-equipped kitchen and woodburner; pubs and a shop 15 minutes’ walk
Found on a Cheshire sheep farm 10 minutes’ drive from the buzzy little town of Knutsford, Greenfields Campsite is a top choice for anyone wanting to combine a cosy holiday in a wooden shepherd’s hut with views over the surrounding farmland. Prettily done up with a rural theme, the hut has a well-equipped kitchen (all the basics and more are there), bunk beds for sleeping and a bathroom with shower. Outside there’s covered decking for chilling, watching the sheep (and lambs in spring) in neighbouring fields and admiring the sunset on clear days. The village of Lower Peover (two minutes’ drive/15 minutes’ walk) has a handy shop and two pubs serving excellent food and beers. You can also source picnic treats from the handy village shop in Goostrey (10 minutes). Knutsford is the spot for nosing around trendy boutiques, and it’s got more than its fair share of pubs and cafés if you fancy a night out. Dogs are permitted – in fact, they get their own welcome pack of treats – while kids get complimentary marshmallows to roast over the campfire (logs and firelighters are available to buy on site).

What customers say

Family-owned spot loved for its welcoming hosts, generous pitches, and unique, tidy facilities. Campers enjoyed personal fire pits, free marshmallows, and the central area for kids. Despite some faint motorway hum, it's a tranquil, restful escape highly rated for repeat stays.

Unpowered grass tent or trailer tent site

Liked The complimentary marshmallows was a nice gesture for the kids with the ready made fire pits for use. The family run aspect of the site was nice. Location is great close to Knutsford and the 'Tree of Imagination' is well worth a visit. Local shop close to the site in walking distance. Site is very clean, toilets cleaned regular and bins emptied and nice wash up area. Nice to see the site coming to check you in and check booing names etc..

Disliked Pitches are quite small. Although when booking a 10m x 10m pitch the area is a bit of a squeeze. M6 motorway noise is constant but already knew this before booking and does not bother our family. The site only has 2 showers and 3 toilets and we stayed on a busy weekend - could do with a few more really for the number of people at the site.

While we were at the site it was a shame to have a group of rude and inconsiderate people in one corner. I should of know what night was coming when the loud music and happy birthday singing began at 5pm. Come 9 pm it was like camping karaoke. I'm all for people having a good time but women screaming singing like they are in a karaoke bar at night does not fit with the family camping trips I enjoy. Sounded like a bunch of banshee. Would have been nice if they were asked to calm down a bit as we could hear word for word across the opposite end of the site and not fun when trying to get a 5 year and 2 year old to bed but carried on until late evening unchallenged.

Unpowered grass tent or trailer tent site

Liked An excellent campsite. The entire site is flat. Very child and dog friendly - you camp around the outside of the field and kids play in the middle - you can see where they are from anywhere in the field. The owners are lovely and easy to contact if you have any questions. Pre arrival text message is a nice touch. Albie the tup is a thing of beauty and goes down very well with the kids. Don't let the photos of the toilets and showers (in horse & cattle trailers) put you off - these are some of the best facilities we've come across at a campsite, and spotlessly clean. Fires are a nice touch, especially when it's dusk and you can see all the other campers sat around their fire. Pub is within walking distance too. Although not on the flight path, you can see the planes setting off from Manchester Airport - if sitting on Flightradar24 is your thing, you'll be in your element. Not always guaranteed at campsites, phone signal is a welcome constant 4G and 5G. Very handy location if you're visiting one of the many Cheshire attractions.

Disliked Due to the sites close proximity to the M6 motorway, you can here it at night. If you're a lighter sleeper, it's something to be aware of.

Unpowered grass tent or trailer tent site

Liked Lovely campsite, great to have use of the firepits at each pitch Very reasonably priced wood that can be bought each evening
The toilets were clean and the showers were lovely and hot. There is only 2 showers but we didnt have to wait long to use them.
Lots of space for the kids to play in the middle, felt very safe.
A short walk to two great pubs and a really good farm shop a short drive away.
This was a site close to home for us but we'll definitely return for sunny weekends.

Disliked Nothing. This is a great site.

Local attractions

Looking for something different to do? Journey up a hydraulic lift between the River Weaver and the Trent and Mersey Canal at the Anderton Boat Lift Visitor Centre (20 minutes’ drive), or get up close to the star-gazing Lovell Radio Telescope and enjoy 4D films on the universe in the planetarium at Jodrell Bank Centre for Engagement (15 minutes). A 40-minute drive takes you to the walled city of Chester, where you can beat the bookies at a race meeting, explore the Gothic-era cathedral and discover The Rows, half-timbered buildings dating from Tudor times. You might also like to treat the offspring to a day at the zoo (45 minutes), where there are rare rhinos and sun bears to see. You can all test your sense of direction on the orienteering courses in Marbury Country Park (20 minutes), or walk any accompanying dogs through the avenue of ancient lime trees. If you have the odd rainy day to contend with, resort to the indoor swimming pool at Brio Leisure Northwich Memorial Court (15 minutes).
