 The shady oak has recently been taken over by new owners, the staff, food and atmosphere were all very good. The pub was busy with visitors and locals.
The campsite was very wet due to the extreme rain we’d had over the last month but the gravel pitches were fairly level and dry. The toilets and showers were immaculate with plenty of hot water.
Some of the gravel pitches could do with being edged and new gravel laying as the grass is starting to encroach on the pitches but it didn’t detract from our stay.
It’s a great location right next to the canal and great for walks etc.
We definitely will visit again.

Excellent site, staff in the pub especially Sam great hosts!
Will visit again, on the canal with nice walks.
We cycled to Chester 22 mile round trip on cycle path 45 takes in quiet roads and the canal tow path.
This is a great spot maybe a bit pricey £35 a night for Motorhome, two people with EHU but you do get a £10 voucher off food !

A quiet site next to pub with lovely views of beeston castle and next to canal,
The showers and toilets were very clean, and the pitches were well spaced and fairly level,
The pub does good food and has a nice canal side garden, with friendly staff,
I would stay again Alan score 9

Campsite is quiet with generous plots. Facilities are basic, but adequate and clean.
The pub has a fabulous view of Beeston castle.
Being on the canal makes it very picturesque and there are plenty of public footpaths for walks.

I stayed at Shady Oak Campsite at the weekend, I was coming with my camper van while friends were staying in a tent.
The lady who booked us in made sure our pitches were together as there was different pitches for tents and camper vans which was really good,
The toilet and shower facilities were clean and well maintained. The location is fabulous being right on the canal. Lots of nice walks to do also from the site we could see both Peckforton and Beaston castle.
We also visited the Pub on site. The staff were friendly and helpful. Lots of Covid measures in place. We felt very comfortable and the home made steak pie was to die for.
All in all a very enjoyable time at the shady oiak campsite we will certainly visit again.
Only put 1-10 for child friendly as it is ADULTS ONLY which suited us down to the ground so should have put 10-10 for that but people may think children are ok to go if I did.

Lovely site and nice facilities but thought a bit too expensive compared to others in the area.
Location was perfect.
Lots of outside and inside space, covid restrictions perfectly in place.

Camped here after a day on the Sandstone trail, as It was only about 1Km along the Canal towpath.
The pub was closed when
I arrived in the afternoon. No one about for paying for the campsite. A lot of people waiting for for a drink and food and some motorhomes waiting to book in, and phoning a number but ringing out no answer they left, Not to wait any more:
I was In a dilemma as the next campsite was a couple of hours walk away and I had a hard trek 13 miles and very tired. So I waited and lo and behold the Staff turned up at 5. 30pm ☺ So pleased to be able to book in for the night.
I was perturbed and perplexed to be charged a price of £20 for a small one man tent I think it was take it or leave it.
As It was a glorious end to a sunny day I pitched my tent on the sloping field on long grass with a lovely view of Shropshire union canal nice layout of the pub In a prime spot with tables and chairs, gorgeous scenery with Beeston Castle In the background. I was the only tent on-site apart from a large RV on a permanant pitch.
Checked out the wooden cladded toilet block, declined to Use the Shower. As the whole place needed a good clean. The Campsite needs an overall TLC, as It has a lot of potential. I can't understand why Its not looked after, as It has everything going for It I suppose It would be Ok for one night.
Ref: to the pub looked good clean and nice decor, No food available that night as midweek. The barman did give me a menu list for a delivery takeaway local company.

We have just returned from the shady oak NEVER again. It is the worst site we have ever visited. £20 a night including electric. 2nd night 4. 30 am electrics failed. In the morning we tried to find some one to report it to but it was 10. 30 before any one was around. Much later the manager arrived to tell us he couldn't understand it, but we had been told that there was a problem. We moved to the other side of the field where the electric was working! But the ground was a soaking mud pitch. All the hardstandings are just big enough to put a small caravan on so each time you went out you were treading in mud and wet grass. The van got filthy! Also there is a charge of £1 for a shower. The showers are not fit to use the toilet block is 2 loos and 1 shower all were dirty, and not cleaned from the day we arrived(Weds) till we left on Sun. The manager did give us a free meal in the pub for our inconvenience But the break was ruined

VERY SHADY.
Very disappointed in this campsite it didn't live up to any of its promises. Firstly the refurbished toilet block must have been some years ago and I certainly would not shower in there. No one came to clean or replenish in the time we where there. They are currently filling in a large hole 20m+ in the main field, so diggers with top soil arrived at 8. 30am and stayed all day. I wouldn't mind but there was no mention of building work when we booked. The site said Dogs must be kept on a lead, but there was people there with a dog loose, and no one said a word. The area we where pitched had littler that had clearly been there for some time rusty can etc. We emails the site to highlight our disappointment but they have not bothered to respond.
Give this site a miss unless your happy to Part with your money.

Out of 12 hardstanding pitches only one was occupied but we were allocated one that required leveling ramps. The next morning the grass was cut prior to the Bank Holiday weekend, it took him over 3 hours. He started at around 07:20! - next to our pitch !
The wash basins were a total waste of space as the taps were the sort that had to be kept depressed and there were no plugs.
On a positive side, we did have a nice meal at the pub.

Last min. Booked over internet all fine. Then rang to pay depisit.
Campsite no change from years gone by. Toilets have been disguised by cladding wood.
Onsite pub next too canal.
Pub has been renovated painted etc. Well done. Tv area. Were dogs are allowed. Pool table too.
Ate here 1 night. Very nice quick and reasonable.
We were mislead on staying the next night as were told we could watch 6 nations but were kicked out so people can watch football. Lost our 2nd night food order and drinks and nxt night stay. Long canal walks etc ideal for dogs and walkers. Close too beeston castle. Oluton park.
Would return for the walks and pub canal.
Never used showers as l did not like them
Some staff very friendly and helpful others could not br bothered.
Small car park for pub and patio and play area.

Campsite itself is small and very quiet, great views of castle, it has very basic facilities, showers are £1 token for 5 minutes which was a bit of a shock as they are in need of some serious refurbishment, however they were clean. The hard standings are very uneven, the leccy hook up was fine but there is no water hook up.
This could be a lovely little site with a bit of effort - as the pub is gorgeous and is on the canal. The menu is quite limited, but reasonably priced and food is ok.
However - we were made to pay in full, up front for 3 pitches we wanted and when 1 of our party couldn't come due to ill health - were told they have a strict - no refunds policy. We would have expected them to retain 15-20% but they took the whole amount. That was disappointing.
