Powered gravel travel trailer campsite

Liked Campsite is conveniently positioned for an overnight stop. Away from noisy roads but close enough to pick up motorways for onward journeys.
Clear information sent before arrival regarding pitch allocation etc.

Disliked Sat Nav postcode doesn’t bring you to the right location.
Although modern showers/toilets. Most had no toilet paper.
Several of the toilets were locked so not available for use.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thanks for your feedback! We're glad you found the site convenient and appreciated the pre-arrival information. We're sorry about the toilet paper and locked facilities—this isn’t the standard we aim for, and we’ll make sure it's addressed. We’re also reviewing signage and directions to improve arrival experience. Hope to see you again!

Local attractions

Aqueduct Marina and Caravan Park's Cheshire location and easy access from the M6 means it's in a most handy spot to get to heaps of tourist attractions around this part of the north west and Chester. A popular option in the area is Oulton Park, the racing track in the little village of Budworth that bills itself as the most picturesque track in all the land, or you could hike around the wilds of nearby Delamere Forest, or stick to lazy days and potter around small Cheshire villages like Tattenhall and Tarporley. Chester is also easily accessible from the caravan park and has heaps to see among its old streets and swish shops. Animal fans make their way to Chester Zoo on the outskirts of the city to see as many as possible of its 12,000+ animals and over 400 species; if nature is your animalish thing, also get along to the Blue Planet Aquarium and its 100 or so living displays including the biggest school of sharks in Europe. Green fingered? Clear the car boot and drive over to Bridgemere, one of the biggest garden centres in the world and with all things gardenlike as well as toys and clothes in its mammoth shopping centre.
