Very pretty site situated on the River Weaver, good hard standing pitches.
Toilets and showers are dated but kept really clean.
There is a children's slide on the site but it was quite dated. Super pub within 5 mins walk that do good food and real ale, very reasonable priced meals and plenty of choice.
There is also a chippy and Tesco express within a 10 minute car drive.
Lovely caravan and camping site with wonderful views over river. Spotless toilets and showers and dishwash facilities. Everyone on site very friendly staff very helpful. Great children's play area. Nice pubs close by serving food at very reasonable price. Lots to do if you go out and about. Shops in Weaverham have all you need like Tesco Express, Co Op, fish and chips, take away, bakery and more just a few minutes away by car. Will book again. Pity there isnt more car park space. I would recommend this peaceful very clean site.
We only called in here due to its proximity to home (basically, we just wanted an overnighter to try out a new awning!) What a fantastic hidden little gem this site turned out to be.
The reception was nice and we were given a hard standing pitch right by the river (very tranquil.) Our host, Jimmy helped us to unhitch, and manoeuvred us into our spot
We weren't looking for any special facilities, however we did have our two kids with us (they had their games consoles with them anyway) but they seemed more entertained with the ducks, geese and the odd passing boat.
We were advised of the 2 for 1 pub next door (looks ok) but being a Saturday night and we arrived pm in our 'scruffs' we opted for fish and chips from nearby Weaverham (excellent choice!)
We were invited to help release some Chinese lanterns as it went darker (the kids were well chuffed with this) and all in all a very good time was had.
The loos and showers were spotless clean (didn't try the showers though - was a bit chilly!) We'll definitely revisit when it warms up and do some further exploring (Just keep an eye on the kids near the water)
The site is beside the A49 so there was a little bit of traffic noise (it calms down later on) but a good, friendly little spot. Well done!
Due to an injured foot, we visited this site because it is only a 15 min drive from home- the misses won't tow the van !
Although I know the area well, staying on a site with a view across the Weaver Valley, with the river only 5m from the van door was one of our most enjoyable and relaxing trips.
The days were spent fishing ,(day tickets can be purchased from the baliff- if he turns up), and evenings were spent in one or other of the nearby pubs. The Riverside (nearest), has a 2 for 1 offer on meals. Proper 'pubs' can be found further along the A49. The Horns and the Leigh Arms , both serve good food (and beer), and both in walking distance.
There is no shop on site, however there is a farm shop across the bridge (great selection of cheeses), and supermarkets in nearby Weaverham.
For visitors from 'out of town', the main town of Northwich is nearby (markets on Tuesday, Friday and Saturday), and the city of Chester is a 1/2 hour drive away.
The toilet/shower block is dated, but very clean, however the disposal area for chemical loo's is possibly a bit too basic.
I was in two minds whether to give this review as I considered keeping such a lovely site to myself.
Stayed for 2 nights here while we had work to do in Manchester, lovely picture perfect surroundings by the river, owners were very nice, toilets and showers very clean but when showering it was difficult to keep your clothes dry. The only other drawbacks were duck mess everywhere and the main A road right outside the camp was very noisy until quite late at night, we didnt find parking too much of an issue has it was quiet when we got there but probably difficult parking if it was busy. The pub nearest is a two for one all day but we found that the two pubs further down the road over the bridge much better.
On arrival we were shown to the pitch, taken through an obstacle course with about 2 inches either side of the van and told to stop. I said thanks and was about to reverse onto the pitch, told NO! Don’t, ok I will use the motor mover NO! don’t. With that two of them (one being the owners husband) just about forced the caravan off the Land Rover, ripping the spare wheel cover with the stabiliser arm, pushed it onto to pitch then rushed off. On complaining to Mrs Done she just shrugged her shoulders and walked off. We originally booked to have the awning up but thought better as it would have only been about 2 ft from next doors caravan tight up to their aquaroll. The toilets are clean at ground level but don’t look up. DON’T fill your waste container too full as you have to lift it up about 18 inches onto the chemical disposal point to empty out, which by the way has no flush only a low pressure short length of hose which does no good washing anything down the 6 inch sewer pipe. Park your car in the car park, and get blocked in as its not big enough for a third of the Seasonal and Static’s let alone tourers. £17.00 a night another £1.50 for an awning. Good location is about my only good comment.
This is a beautiful campsite, on the banks of the River Weaver. Well maintained and very clean toilets / showers. There isn't any heating in the toilets / shower block, so could be cold at certain times of the year. Owners prefer you not to take your car on to the grass, which means parking can be a bit cramped. There is no specific area for tents, and we felt that they preferred caravans. There didn't seem to be a lot of pitches for caravans either as most of the caravans looked like they were pitched there all the time. They do accept dogs, but they have to be walked off site, but there is a grassy area just outside the gates, keep the dog on the lead though as it is a very busy road. Pub just along the road which we didn't find all that friendly, food wasn't up to much either. Further along the road there are another 2 pubs they were great. Site is well worth a visit.
Immaculate toilet block and showers all in price of £12 for the night. Lots of pride in the site. Very friendly people on site, lots of tourers there for the season, space for small tents really. Siting right by the river at night was lovely. One pub within striding distance, another two pubs 10 minute walk. Lots of nice flat walks along path by river. Would definitely go back.
Just returned from this fab site, the owners could not have been more helpful. They helped us park our van and gave us all the info we needed. There are only a hand full of touring pitches which are along the river bank, so early booking is advised. The site was spotlessly clean as were the toilets and showers, a real credit. There are plenty of nice walks and bike rides close by, and three or four good pubs within walking distance ( one being next door)only slight down side is the noisy road , but being by the river we didn't here it at night.
This campsite is an absolute gem. Stayed Friday-Sunday and didn't want to leave! It's located on the A49 between Acton Bridge & Weaverham right next door to the Riverside pub. The owners, were very polite and helpful and escorted us to our pitch then helped us manoeuvre our caravan on to our pitch which overlooked the River Weaver, the jockey-wheel being literally inches from the edge of the riverbank! There were boats moored along the river and barges and river cruisers going up & down all day long. Facilities were fine, pretty basic but clean.
Small laundrette and two sinks for dish washing, plenty of water points and a chemical disposal point. Toilet block looked a bit dated but was kept clean and tidy with two hot showers which were also very clean (and free). Small play area for the youngsters and an information point with loads of leaflets on things to do and places to visit during your stay. There are three pubs within five minutes walk of the site all serving good grub (booking recommended at the Riverside Inn). Nice walks along the tow path, we had a lovely stroll from Acton Bridge down to Dutton Locks and back which is about four miles in total.
The only minor drawbacks with this site are there is no shop on site, not even for the basics so it was a trip to the filling station about a mile and a half away for papers, bread,milk etc. The site is right next to the road which can be quite noisy, especially from the speeding motorbikes doing about 90mph (had the obligatory ear-plugs in at night) and you can't park your car next to your unit, so once we had unpacked, we had to move the car to the small car park where the cars were parked willy-nilly. We were told to park behind a certain car because the owners must have known that car would not be moving that day, but next morning the car owner had tracked us down via the number plate and asked (very politely) if I could move my car to let him out (don't know what he would have done if we'd had gone out for the day without the car). Maybe they operate or should adopt a system where if you are going off site without your car, you could leave your car keys with the owners so they could shuffle the cars around accordingly! These minor drawbacks are certainly out weighed by the plus points and would highly recommend a stay here.
Would we go back? We certainly would, in fact I'm just about to ring them to see if they've got any pitches available for another weekend in a fortnights time.Brilliant!
