  • Wild campsite with Peckforton Hills views at Bunbury in Cheshire
  • BeWILDerwood Cheshire 10 minutes’ drive; Chester Zoo half an hour
  • Cycling and hiking direct from the site; pub 10 minutes' walk away
Steve, Alex and the family look forward to welcoming you for a taste of wild camping at Whitegate Farm Camping. Set on a smallholding on the outskirts of the pretty village of Bunbury in Cheshire, this quiet, family- and dog-friendly spot has Peckforton Hills views from the camping field – and Phoebe the friendly llama as your new neighbour. The family-run site is in the Cheshire countryside, 10 minutes' drive from Tarporley, and just a 10-minute walk to the local pub and shop. This is a lovely peaceful spot with lots of privacy, but all the same, it's under half an hour's drive away from many of Chester's popular attractions, including Chester Zoo, The Ice Cream Farm and Wild Shore Delamere. Simple on-site facilities stretch to loos and a shower, and be forewarned that there is no electricity on site; bring torches for any nocturnal wanderings about the place. What you do get, however, are loads of walks and bike rides straight from the campsite, to Beeston Castle (45 minutes on foot) or along The Sandstone Trail (50 minutes). You can take the kids on easy family strolls or cycles alongside the Shropshire Union Canal Main Line towpath (10 minutes’ drive), or have a meander down to the three local pubs within 20 minutes’ walk for a choice of good food and a decent pint or two.

What customers say

This tranquil campsite offers stunning views and large, neat sites. Guests rave about the friendly, helpful hosts and spotless restrooms. It's perfect for hikes and visiting local pubs. Though usually quiet, a few note that the limited number of toilets/showers can be an issue when busy. Facility upgrades are planned.

Primitive grass tent campsite

Liked Lovely site, nice spacious pitches, basic facilities - but clean! Lovely location, walking distance to a pub and coffee shop. Would definitely come back :)
They were building a second toilet and shower while we were there which will be a useful addition in busy times.

Disliked nothing!

Primitive grass tent campsite

Liked Large pitch, lovely views from our field. A 10 minute walk to a nice pub, and further 5/10mins to chippy and Co op in Bunbury village. Toilet and shower were good and kept clean (currently building more toilets) washing up area and fire pits to use free of charge.

Disliked Maybe hot water to wash pots but this didn’t really bother us staying only one night.
But lovely site and will return!

Local attractions

Younger kids may not give you any peace until you’ve taken them to The Ice Cream Farm (15 minutes’ drive) to sample more than 40 flavours of homemade ice cream and have a run around at the play area. The elephants, tigers and giraffes at Chester Zoo (half an hour) are likely to be second on the list, or you can go diving with sharks at Blue Planet Aquarium (35 minutes). Take the whole family to test their mettle on the zipwires and treetop rope courses at BeWILDerwood Cheshire (10 minutes’ drive), or make for the inflatable climbing course at Wild Shore Delamere waterpark (20 minutes), where you can also take wakeboarding and paddleboarding lessons. For far-reaching views to the Peckforton Hills, climb up to Beeston Castle (45 minutes’ walk) on its rocky crag. Have an urban day out among the indie shops, Roman walls and Tudor half-timbered buildings of Chester, and if you’re bargain hunting, browse the fashion shops at Designer Outlet Cheshire Oaks (both 35 minutes’ drive).
