  • Peaceful setting overlooking the Cheshire Plain, close to Whitchurch
  • On National Cycle Route 47, and near Sandstone Trail walkers’ path
  • Within easy reach of pubs with gin nights and authentic curries
Looking for a peaceful spot where you don’t have to sacrifice the luxury of nearby pubs and restaurants? Head to Cheshire site Marbury Camp and Lodge, where you can look out over the Cheshire Plain by day and devour pub grub by night – the team on site can point you towards gin evenings and excellent curries… a winning combo after a day of exploring. Speaking of exploring, there are enough walks and bike routes around to ensure you get your fill of countryside. The site is right on a national cycle route so make sure you pack your bike helmet – the site owners can help with bike hire and a map of the local cycle routes too. If walking is more your thing you can link up with the Sandstone Trail for 34 miles of unbroken, and often elevated, walking. The outdoor adventures don’t stop there, as this place is a great base for golfing, shooting and fishing as well, with all found within around four miles of the site. Worn out just by reading the activities dotted around? There’s also plenty to do if you’re after a more chilled day. The nearby local market towns of Whitchurch (three miles away) and Nantwich (eight miles) have various market days and plenty of shopping, eating and drinking options. Supplies can also be sourced closer to home in the village of Wrenbury, a mile away. Site amenities include a shower block and chemical disposal, and there's also the option to hire firepits (subject to availability).

What customers say

Immaculate, peaceful campsite with stunning views. Spotless facilities, hot showers and great pitches. Family-friendly, spacious, with fire pits and picnic benches. Some narrow roads and minor noise, but mostly rave reviews and return plans.

Electric optional hardstanding and grass touring pitch

Liked Marbury Camping Lodge is a fantastic find. The site is the perfect size (for us) spacious yet cosy, with a lovely natural feel. The setting is gorgeous, and the views are wide open and uninterrupted, with an impressive oak tree adding a touch of magic to the landscape

Electric optional grass tent pitch

Liked We loved our stay here. First time campers and nothing was too much trouble. Kids loved running around and the magic powder for the fire pit!
Shower and toilet facilities were kept clean, the tent pitches were tidy and the site was lovely and peaceful.
We will definitely like to return when we start camping again in the new year. Thank you!

Electric optional hardstanding and grass touring pitch

Liked Liked that we could check in before arrival and then just drive to any available pitch. Pitches clearly marked. Site is clean and well maintained and was the perfect getaway for my friend and I to spend some time together. The walk to the pub took around 35 mins and was great. A lovely break and I’ll definitely return with my husband.

From the manager: Aloha,

Thanks for the review. Apprecate the comments about the amazing views and good facilties.

Sorry you didn't like the cost of the fire pits. We charge £25 for hire for the duration of your stay, which includes circa 20kg of logs, a big bag of kindling, fire lighters and matches. A bag of logs even at a supermarket is pushing £8-10 now, and a bag of kindling £6, so that's about £22 - £24, then add the costs of manufacturing the pits ( we make them ), cleaning them, repairing them, refilling them - we think £1 is a bargain. Oh and we've vat registerered, so we only receive circa £21. Further still, if you pre-book, you get a discount. Further still, we've about to be spanked by Rachel Reeves with a vat hike, so the prices will be going up again. Yay! Vote Labour!

As to no coffees or pizzas, that's not quite right. We can do coffees and pizzas any time we are on site. In the Autumn/Winter we won't sit 7 days a week in the office with the door open for 2 campers on site. That's why there's a big sign and your welcome email says to message us on WhatsApp so we can assist. We live on site so we're always around. Sorry it that wasn't made clear. There are at least 4 messages / large signs statign this.

Cheers,

D

Local attractions

Marbury Camp and Lodge is on the National Cycle Network's Route 47, a fine option for leisure riders, serious biking types and all those in between. There are also walks in all directions, with the Sandstone Trail walkers’ haven around 12 miles from the site. For a spot of sightseeing, set out to soak up the culture at a number of churches and castles nearby. For some gothic architecture head to Combermere Abbey (around 10 minutes' drive) or Cholmondeley Castle Gardens (about 15 minutes). The medieval Beeston Castle (20 minutes) comes with spectacular views and a 40-acre woodland park to amble about in. Several of the surrounding towns have a lot to offer here. As well as Whitchurch there's also Nantwich (15 minutes), known for its listed buildings and annual cheese show (yum). Crewe is also a short drive away (about half an hour) if you still haven’t got your fill of eating, drinking, shopping and sightseeing.
