  • Family-friendly camping 15 minutes’ drive from Crewe in rural Cheshire
  • Chester Zoo and Blue Planet Aquarium both 50 minutes’ drive
  • Dog-walking area; pubs within 10 minutes’ drive
Neat as a new pin, spacious, level and divided by young saplings. That’ll be the hardstanding and grass pitches at Oakwood Campsite, a family-friendly spot bordering farmland and set 10 minutes’ drive from the conservation village of Church Minshull in rural Cheshire. All the requisites for a relaxed break with family and friends are on hand at this well-maintained site: a modern shower block with baby-changing amenities and a wet room for the mobility impaired, pot washing, water stations, chemical waste disposal, recycling bins and charging points. You may want to eat breakfast and lunch at Minshull’s Garden Centre (10 minutes’ walk), and if you fancy dining out in the evening, there are several pubs within 10 minutes’ drive, as well as takeaways and fast-food outlets in Crewe (15 minutes’ drive). Your canine companions are welcome, and there’s a dedicated dog-walking area on site – please keep them on leads around the pitches. You can also exercise them (and yourselves of course) on longer expeditions down the Shropshire Union Canal towpath.

What customers say

Guests rave about the serene location, spacious, level sites, and spotless, modern restrooms. Secure gate access is a plus. Dog walking and play areas get thumbs up. Occasional shower temp quirks and electricity cost are minor notes. Highly recommended for cleanliness and friendly hosts.

Amy C.

Power optional cement/asphalt RV campsite

Liked Spacious pitches, clean facilities, brilliant hosts who were very responsive!
Pub 15 minute walk away which does good pub food.
Easy to top up electric as needed.

Disliked Not the sites fault but lots of kids who loved to wind the dogs up on purpose (perks of summer holidays though!)

Only 2 sinks in the ladies so was rather busy in the morning.
Walk to the pub is down a main road with no pavement, torches needed.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Hi Amy,

Glad you enjoyed your stay.

Sorry about the noisy children.

There is a footpath to the pubs,

Thanks

debra j.

Power optional cement/asphalt RV campsite

Liked The pitches are large, plenty of space for awnings and seating. The electric is easy to use, you don’t need cash, paid online. Internet signal is good, overall a really nice campsite

Disliked Not having a waste water drop although you can drop your water in the hedge bottom, it’s not something we like doing

Local attractions

Head to the medieval town of Nantwich (15 minutes’ drive) to sample local produce in the indoor market (open Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday); the site owners run a cheese stall there and offer a discount to their camping guests. You can also browse indie shops and antique dealers, admire higgledy-piggledy half-timbered houses or take strolls along the River Weaver Keep the kids happy with a visit to the elephants, big cats and rhinos at Chester Zoo, or learn more about rays and sharks at Blue Planet Aquarium (both 50 minutes). The bucket-list theme park Alton Towers (an hour and 10 minutes) has extreme rollercoasters as well as gentle rides for toddlers in CBeebies Land. Any rainy days can be taken care of in Crewe (15 minutes); simply head for the bowling alleys at Tenpin Crewe or catch a film at the neighbouring cinema. If you’re keen to maintain your fitness regime, you can swim lengths of the pool and train in the gym at Crewe Lifestyle Centre.
