 Situated a short walk from Chester along the river. The site is nice and quiet and pitches are big.
All grass so depending on what time of year you go it could be muddy or not. Facilities are right out of the 70's.
No heating that I could see, very basic, toilet in the mens wobbled when you sat on it and you have to get tokens from the farmhouse for the showers (we used our van).
Grey waste disposal was difficult, you have to lift your waste water up to waist height to drain it, a bit odd and not easy to do. The chemical waste is very rudimentary, basically a hole in the ground with a loose metal plate over it.
I've had to give a rating for customer service, but never saw anyone when we were there, so can't comment so I've scored it down the middle.

Great location to visit Chester. Clean facilities. Well kept grass. Nice to have a shower token included.
The tent area is near the horse field and training area which I love but if you are not fir horses and early morning sounds chose the area farthest from the horse gate.

Welcome from Jo, shown the available pitches. Good clean facilities.
A long walk along the river into the city centre whilst being very warm sunshine.
Liked watching riders practising their skills.
We would stay again, but would need bikes next time, or just use buses.

It’s a fantastic camping site - so close to Chester and yet you feel you are in the countryside with Badgers, owls, lovely vegetation and lots of birds. It’s also run as a horse stables.
The toilet facilities are kept really clean, there are nice hot showers and dish washing facilities. The sorting for the recycling is really good. There is a separate area for tents and then a hook up area.
It’s amazing as you are literally minutes away from all the Sealand road retail parks with tesco, aldi, Lidl and Asda plus loads of other shops and going the opposite direction towards queensferry road the Winfields camping shop is less than 5 minutes drive.
You can also follow the lane towards the river and you can cross over the bridge on what was a historic ferry crossing. It’s very popular with cyclists as well with numerous cycle paths going in all directions.
If you cross the bridge and walk towards Saltney there are some amazing stainless steel sculptures and interpretation boards and then Go Outdoors is there. If you stay on this side of the river you can walk into Chester past the sewage works and a children's park and you end up near the University or the race course.
Going the other way you end up walking past British Aerospace and if you are lucky you get to see the incredible Beluga plane taking the A380 wings land or take off. There is also an amazing cafe on the airfield where you can really get up close.
The location is amazing for a camping and caravanning site. The owners are very friendly and email you straight away for any enquiries and the price is very excellent.

Lovely quiet site, well spread out.
Facilities need updating but for £15 pn they were adequate.
Nice walks for the dogs from the site. Lots of horses which were lovely to see.
Handy for Chester with a good bus service from the bottom of the road.
Enjoyed our stay.

This was our first ever CL site and what a lovely place to pick, lovely spaced pitches well mown grass, electric hook up, toilets and showers and plenty of wild life birds especially.
You get the air traffic from nearby Broughton but didn't bother us at all.
Overall thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will definitely be going back.

I stayed here while visiting my daughter at the Countess of Chester Hospital.
It's a really lovely, peaceful little site at an equestrian centre.
Facilities simple but everything you need and spotless. Location rural but very handy for Chester.
Thanks to the helpful and welcoming owners

We had a lovely four nights at Thornleigh Park Farm.
Great location, less than 3 miles to Chester, around £7 in a taxi.
Very friendly owner who met us as we arrived and provided us with all the information we needed.
We look forward to visiting again next year 👍

Rang to book. Very friendly and helpful I thought. Told me park and ride was nearby. Or could get Uber into Chester. Sadly no Uber wanted to pick us up and park & ride closed.
Buses 15 minute walk along very dark lane. No lighting. Buses running until late every 20 minutes. (Uber back from Chester in the evening was £20 had we used it. ) Sited ourselves on grass, level pitch.
Didn’t use facilities so can’t comment. Never saw anyone, except other caravanners. Very quiet. Depends what you’re looking for.
Very reasonably priced. £15. 90 with EHU. No charge to stay late next day.
