  • A 10-minute drive from Alton Towers and Uttoxeter Racecourse
  • Large family-friendly bar and restaurant with events and takeaways
  • Spacious beer garden with play area and large climbing frame
Up for theme park thrills? New Broom Camping and Caravan Site is 10 minutes' drive away from Alton Towers – and has a comfy number of amenities to have you sorted on site too. Set in two peaceful acres with flat grass pitches, the park has a traditional pub (which is both large and family-friendly) with a family restaurant. There's also a big beer garden with a play area. And it's all in the small Staffordshire village of Checkley, a short drive away from Uttoxeter Racecourse and The Potteries as well as Alton Towers. The pub serves decently priced drinks and meals including carvery, cooked breakfasts and pizza (pizza is available for takeaway too). It's got a pool table for evenings of friendly competition, and hosts regular events such as rock nights, tribute nights and darts nights. New Broom also has a toilet/shower facility that guests can use free of charge, 24 hours a day.

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked Lovely site with good facilities. Great to have the pub right there too. Only 25 mins from home but really felt like we were in the countryside. Good flat ground. Separate fields for elec, non elec, caravans etc.

Disliked Very near to road (can't be helped) but earplugs were given.

Electric grass pitch

Liked The things we liked: The play area, the cleanliness of the toilet/shower facilities. The friendliness of the staff. The proximity of the pub, and the amazing takeaway pub breakfast. The next door vending machine at the community centre, which dispenses milkshakes.

Disliked The road noise, however the ear plugs offered by the campsite were greatly appreciated, and it didn't put us off.
