  • 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.

Liked: Spacious pitch with electric hook up. Close to the car park. Play area for kids and lots of room for them to run around and play. Pub was really nice great food, reasonable prices.

Liked: The pub was handy and food was nice. Very secure site ,John was very helpful. Toilets was clean. Pub Staff was friendly.

Disliked: Need a bit of tender loving care, toilets was clean but a out dated and you had to walk across the pub car park for showers and toilets, the water tap was faulty and sprayed water everywhere.
