 We stopped off here for 2 nights on our journey up to the lakes and were well pleased. It's got all the standard facilities of a C&CC site and is set in a lovely area in the forest. The wardens are very welcoming and work hard to keep the site looking in good condition. We did a couple of walks direct from the site, one of which (starting from the station) climbed Old Pole Hill to a brilliant view point with a standing stone circle indicating the 7 counties you could see from the spot along with 20 or so other points of interest. Didn't explore much further afield but if you want to visit Chester the station is a 2 minute walk from the site.
Others have commented on noise from the trains and the road - we were backed on to the railway line and can't say we noticed much disturbance form there at all. There is a little road noise at times but again nothing to spoil your stay.
An excellent site and we'd certainly return if in the area again.

Helpful staff on site, whole site was very well maintained and toilet and shower facilities clean. Easy access direct to the forest and had a great breakfast at the restaurant by the station about 3 minutes walk from the campsite. Dog friendly campsite. Although it was raining, the grass wasn't soggy and fields weren't too muddy. Hope to return soon.

Stayed here for 2 nights with partner and baby. Overall we were pleased with the site and enjoyed our stay. The toilets were clean but it was annoying to have to key a code in to access them. We used the baby bathroom and it was great- had everything needed for baby or child.
The location is good and we had a nice day cycling in the forest. Ventured to the local shop which was well equipped which was a good thing as there is no shop or bar on site. We are used to Dutch campsites which often have shop, bar, playground, pool, cafe etc and fresh bread in the morning for the same price we paid at Delamere. We don't camp in the UK much so I can't comment on whether this site was overpriced. The pitch size was fine but there wasn't any privacy eg bushes to separate us from our neighbours. The noise level was also fine.
I would have liked to see something for children to do such as a sandpit or playground. There were signs everywhere saying no ball games which seemed odd.

Recently visited Delemere Forest C&CC site to find the site staff most helpful and obliging. Good location for visiting Chester using the park and ride facilities. Just to warn users of camper vans there is a height restriction on the P & R car park. This is a great site for those who love walking or mountain biking as there is direct access to the huge Delemere Forest complex. A fish and chip van visits the site twice a week and well worth a try. The nearby Station Cafe is well worth a visit for breakfast. The facilities are excellent and always kept very clean. The only down side to this site is the lack of TV reception on a normal caravan digital aerial, you will need a satellite dish to receive your favourite channels. Will be returning to Delemere Forest in the near future.

This site is really popular and can be hard to get booked on to. We are frequent visitors as our family live in the area. The facilities are very good, always warm and clean and I believe they are Eco friendly.
The couple that run the site are always very friendly and willing to help, I had some issues with my car alarm during this visit and the manager was quick to lend a hand.
There are no child facilities as such but the forest is one big playground for kids, dogs and adults alike.
The only minor point is that TV reception can be a bit marginal and seems a bit dependant on where you are pitched.
Overall a great site.

A lovely site bordering the forest. The railway station is a couple of minutes walk away with trains to Manchester or Chester every hour. There was some noise from the trains when they were leaving the station and some traffic noise from the adjacent road. This was not a problem to us but may be for tent campers. There is a motorhome service point with a drive over grid for waste water and the chemical toilet disposal is next to it, which was very convenient. The toilet block was warm and clean and the showers lovely and hot. The wardens were very friendly and helpful.
We used the trains to Manchester and Chester and found both worked well. Chester station is about 10 minutes walk from the main shopping street and Manchester further away but a free metroshuffle bus operates every 10 minutes taking you into the centre of Manchester. We used the number 3 purple bus to take us near to the science museum. There is also a large car park in Chester (Little Roodee) without a height barrier, which is about 10-15 minutes walk from the city centre.
This site is in a lovely location, open all year, and we would definitely use it again.

Very nice site and in a great location. The railway station to Chester or Manchester was about 50 yards away (didn't hear any noise though). The forest had quite a number of marked walk / run / cycle paths. Surprised it didn't have a little more for families really.
The toilets and showers were very clean and tidy. Also located next to the reception so it might be a little trek for some but fresh air and exercise never killed anyone.
Those looking after the site were helpful and friendly but weren't exactly overly keen when we enquired about checking in early (despite it being the 3rd weekend in September so not exactly busy).
So would happily revisit and recommend to others.

What fab location sort of. Adjacent to the forest which has miles of walks, cycle tracks Go Ape and much more. If you have dogs it is heaven. Staff as usual with this club really friendly. Facilities are ok but very clean. Downside well it is next to a very busy straight road which seems to be a challenge for every motorbike in Cheshire to go faster than the previous one. Also it is next to the train line and station which again you will hear although not many trains. So absolutely fab forest on two sides and noisy train line and road on the others. You decide. Nothing close by so as we do not drive out in the motorhome once we have parked at a site make sure you take everything with you. We would return for forest walks. Oh yes you must try Hollies farm which is about 4 miles away and has a superb farm shop and cafe - would drive to Cheshire to visit this place anytime

Hi all. After deliberating as to book this site in spite of me personally thinking £17.00 a night for a solo camper, a small tent and no ehu was a bit steep, I went ahead and decided to try it out. Well. I still think its way to dear. For instance a lad next to me and his young son were charged £25.00 a night for a small tent and no ehu. We were on field right opposite the site office and the way in and out for motorhomes and caravans plus we were near the main road although not too busy you could hear every car and motorbike or wagon passing by. In hindsight for what I paid I should have asked to be moved into the main field it may have been a bit quieter. Also if your thinking of taking a gazebo. Stand alone shelter. Cooking area. Forget it as they are frowned upon. For the size of pitch. A corner of a field I squeezed into I think that for the silly money I should be allowed to put up a gazebo etc. On my way there I bought a small tarp from decathlon. I was allowed to put it up. But on condition it went partly over my tent only and not away from it. Would I go again. Yes. But only if I had to meet up with friends and the pricing policy was looked into. Now the positives. Helpful male and female wardens. Clean toilet/shower block, , friendly caravanners and campers. The negatives. Too dear. Near busy (ish main road).

Usual friendly greeting from the wardens that you get from a camping and Caravanning Club Site. That was the first and last time we saw them.
It’s location in the forest is pretty and the lake is a beneficial walk. As the site is C&C Club spotless toilet facilities, flat and well groomed pitches have become the norm and this applies to this site. There is not a lot pubs or shops within a mile so go prepared with your eggs bacon sausages and wine/beer IE. essentials.
This site is next tio the railway station with direct access to Chester and Manchester. Trains run every half hour and return to Chester was about £4.00. Chester was a great couple of days out. Open bus tour very good for history well told with humour ten out of ten. The train noise did not worry us at all in fact did not notice it. Overall a very good stay for three nights and if we were going to this area we would certainly stay here.

Visited for bank holiday weekend, wouldn't normally have used camping and caravan (we tend to prefer something with fewer satellite dishes) but it was all that was available in the right location.
It is a beautiful location, the forest is pretty and the lake is a worthwhile walk. The site itself is standard c&c - clean, safe and secure, short grass and level pitches are guaranteed.
Facilities are clean and reasonably abundant, there isn't a lot by the way of pubs or shops within a mile or so and the site shop was a bit sparse. The chip van that visits on a Friday was just ok.
What was really interesting was the enthusiastic application of the large number of site rules by the staff. On arrival we were escorted to our pitch by two staff who gave us a precise location, which we did our best to adhere to. We were visited during pitching to see how we were getting on - and were advised that we were half a metre too close to our neighbours but that they would 'let it go this time'.
On our second night, we were visited by an 8 month pregnant family member who, understandably, wanted to park near our tent to join us for a bbq. She had been on site less than 30 seconds when a staff member appeared, like mr Ben´s shopkeeper to advise us that she could not park on site. Anywhere. So we had to move the car to an off site, public car park, at night. Not an unreasonable request I know, but they could have been a but more accommodating especially given the circumstances.
The site overall is not unpleasant, but the over application of rules could easily make it so. For us, the ambience is not improved by signs reminding campers of the rules (and sinisterly autographed HSM, like some Orwellian leisure organiser) on every surface.
Of course the best kind of fun is safe fun, but at Delamere they have gone little too far.

Not the first time to this site but the first review. A Camping & Caravanning Club site located in the heart of Delamere Forest. Although the site is located next to the Manchester / Chester railway line, don’t let this put you off visiting this site; trains are infrequent and noise is not an issue.
What to expect when you arrive. ? Basically what you’d expect from most other club sites – the site has all the usual facilities: toilet / shower block, washing up & laundry facilities, chemical disposal and drive over motor home waste disposal, all maintained to a high standard by the friendly wardens who can’t seem to do enough. There is no children’s play area on site or dog walk but due to the proximity of the forest (you’re in the middle of it), these are not needed.
Pitches are a mixture of grass or hand-standing with electric hook-up with an area in the middle for tents. If I had to make any criticism at all, the showers block could do with being bigger but having said that, it didn’t cause me a problem during our stay. As a side issue, a mobile fish ‘n’ chip van visits on a Friday night (saves cooking).
Within the forest itself, there are miles of tracks for exploring both on foot and by bike or you could always catch a train to visit further afield. There is also a high rope activity course located within walking distance from the site and a cafe located next to the train station and also one at the nearby visitors centre.
Final comment – can’t wait to be go back. !

As already said great site clean and on the forest doorstep. Great for walkers and cyclists.
Yes showers need to be pressed very often but clean and hot.
The only negative and this is not the sites fault is that it is situated next to an unlit busy fast road! In the summer it would not be so bad to walk to the pub down the road or the Chinese but in the winter when its dark at 4 its very dangerous. We went to Chester on the train £8. 40 return for two adults, trains run every hour, this was good value and an excellent day out a must if you have never been. However when you arrived back at 6. 00pm in total darkness you still have a short walk of about 75 mtrs along this dangerous road to the site entrance and you WILL need a torch !
This is the only downside to this site but we will be returning again very soon.

We had a short four night stay here at the end of October, but will try to return again soon as we loved the site and the location.
Really clean well tended site with friendly and helpful staff. Good showers with plenty of hot water and a squeegee plus mop and bucket, unfortunately these seemed too technical for some members judging by the number of people who walked away without cleaning the floor after their shower.
Great location for exploring the forest on foot or on a bike, or you can catch a train into Chester and explore the city.
If you fancy eating out there's a Chinese restaurant a couple of mins up the road, we had good food in nice surroundings, or you can ring up and collect a carry out. There is also a pub which does food a little further up, but we didn't try it so cannot comment.
The station cafe is well worth a visit, nice food at a reasonable price and it is much friendlier than the cafe in the forest.
You can have an active break or a relaxing one at this site, the pace is up to you, but it is well worth a visit.

Pleasant site with well maintained facilities. I would echo the comments about the timing of the shower push buttons, you almost have to keep your hand on all the time.
Large site with plenty of sizeable hard standings. Although quiet when we arrived, it filled up for the weekend, even in the low season.
Excellent Chinese restaurant not far from site and useful village shop in the other direction. Site is also visited by a fish n chip van and a Mobile Pizza van on regular nights.
