  • 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

This small, friendly campground gets props for its super welcoming staff & great pub food. It’s close to Alton Towers. Facilities are generally clean & functional, though some find them basic. Road noise is occasionally noted; earplugs are provided. Families love the playground.

Liked The set up is excellent. Electric hook up, the bathroom facilities are very good and lovely and warm.

The food in the pub is excellent 👌 breakfast is very good as is the standard menu.

Landlord was friendly and welcoming.

Dog friendly.

20 mins up the road to dog sports derby, so it makes absolute sense to stay here!

Chelsie B.

Pub Car Park primitive cement/asphalt travel trailer campsite

Liked John is super friendly and welcoming. It was a nice place for a drop off on our travels. The toilet/ shower block is heated so made a huge difference in this cold weather. Had dinner as arrived late (which John is fine with, you can arrive up until 9:30pm!), and then breakfast in the morning; both of which was lovely pub grub. Thank you for lovely hospitality ☺️
