  • 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 hardstanding touring pitch

Liked: Didn’t stay long enough to review what we liked

Disliked: We booked a non electric hardstanding pitch and arrived to find we had been allocated a car parking space. This cost £20 to park next to a bunch of cars on a pub car park. I would have expected a £20 hard standing pitch would have meant being in the separate camping area next to the pub that was clearly overbooked. Should not take the booking if you cannot fulfill what is advertised. Poor.
