Knutsford, Cheshire, England
Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite
Liked An excellent campsite. The entire site is flat. Very child and dog friendly - you camp around the outside of the field and kids play in the middle - you can see where they are from anywhere in the field. The owners are lovely and easy to contact if you have any questions. Pre arrival text message is a nice touch. Albie the tup is a thing of beauty and goes down very well with the kids. Don't let the photos of the toilets and showers (in horse & cattle trailers) put you off - these are some of the best facilities we've come across at a campsite, and spotlessly clean. Fires are a nice touch, especially when it's dusk and you can see all the other campers sat around their fire. Pub is within walking distance too. Although not on the flight path, you can see the planes setting off from Manchester Airport - if sitting on Flightradar24 is your thing, you'll be in your element. Not always guaranteed at campsites, phone signal is a welcome constant 4G and 5G. Very handy location if you're visiting one of the many Cheshire attractions.
Disliked Due to the sites close proximity to the M6 motorway, you can here it at night. If you're a lighter sleeper, it's something to be aware of.

Primitive grass and earth tent or trailer tent campsite
Liked The views are spectacular. Pretty much 180 view of the sea. The site is huge and can pitch where you like - no set pitches. No real reason for anyone to pitch within 20 metres of you - perfect. A 5 minute drive away from Church Bay - a must visit.
Disliked Some other reviewers have critiqued this site like it's cost them £100 a night. At £15 a night, for the location, views, on site rubbish bins, toilets and showers - it absolutely exceeds expectaions.
There is a price to pay for the stunning location on top of a hill looking at the sea - there is and can be wind. Obviously this is out of anyones control, but still came as a surprise to some other reviewers.
There also seems to be a long standing challenge with water pressure, due to how high and how far the water has to come up the hill from the owners farm.
Finally, phone signal is rubbish too. If you rely on using your phone, get one of those eSims that roam all UK networks (Airalo, eSim io etc etc) downloaded before you arrive - works perfectly.
