Alton Towers

Anyone wanting to stay near Alton Towers this site is excellent.
We stayed at the weekend, plenty of space, hardstanding, grass at the side for awnings and hookup for £16/night. Very friendly owners and no problem with dogs. Pubs about half a mile away and Alton Towers about 2 miles. Playground for kids as well.

Their website is still under construction but does has an availability calender which is handy.


Yes, unfortunately our cousins do have a VW, not everyone's perfect

Sunday lunchtime, nearly everyone's gone

Looks great. Is there a bus into Alton Towers, could spend a weekend relaxing while the kids go and do the rides

Looks like there is, the site is between Alton and Denstone.

I've stayed at a few of the campsites around Alton Towers: Star Camping (nearest to the theme park), one on the Cannock road, one in a quarry and in one front of a pub - Raddle Inn, I think. All have facilities. Nowadays, my son prefers to do the trip in one day and as long as he drives, I don't mind. Me, I would prefer to make a weekend of it cos I love the camping too!

Next Alton Towers trip is planned for Scarefest - woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!
