  • Pop-up family campsite on a working farm in quiet Cheshire countryside
  • Near the Cheshire and Shropshire border; Malpas five minutes' drive
  • Play area and picnic tables; meet the friendly on-site animals
Cheshire sites don’t come much more family-friendly than Magical Malpas PYO Farm, a back-to-basics spot on a friendly, family-run working dairy and pick-your-own farm. This simple pop-up site has a small number of pitches on neatly mown fields, and is a five-minute drive from pubs and convenience stores in the historic market town of Malpas. Simple on-site facilities include four toilets (one with a baby changing station) and wash basins with cold running water. Picnic tables and a children's play area (which closes at 9pm) add spaces for you to unwind. Just take note that there are no shower facilities, wifi, electric hook-ups or drinking water; you will need to bring your own drinking water. One extra perk at this site is the animals that are on duty. You're welcome to meet Wilma and Betty, two Valais Blacknose sheep, and the goats Lily, Houdini, Luna and Kenny (the naughty one), as well as the site's two resident donkeys, Trevor and Lola. They're generally well-behaved, so interactions are welcome. If you can get your kids away from the animals, they will be chomping at the bit to get to BeWILDerwood Cheshire (10 minutes’ drive) and Chester Zoo (40 minutes).

 Matthew H. 1 review

Primitive grass RV campsite

Liked Location was great, not too far from anything you'd need. On-site fridge and potwash area was very helpful. Price was very fair too. Seemed to have a good strong signal (on o2) throughout the site.

Disliked Play area was a little run-down but perfectly adequate and the kids were happy!

Primitive grass RV campsite

Liked Lovely camp lovely staff. Kids loved the playground and the animals. Especially that they got to go and groom the Donkeys. Most relaxing place we’ve been so far as the kids were happy running off playing. Very family oriented. Would come again.
