 This site is 12 miles east of Chester by road; if you want to visit Chester, I suggest either using the park-and-ride, if you want to drive, or a train from the station close to the site.
The site itself abuts a road which is not especially busy but can be noisy if you are close to it. There is the usual mix of grass and hard standings.
Not having been to the site before, we had booked a hard standing as the 'safe' option in case the weather was wet - we like grass, but if it's wet some sites can be messy. This turned out to be a bad move. The pitch we had, and several other hard standings, do not drain well and in fact we had a 'run off' through our awning after a prolonged heavy shower and the pitch never dried out after that - we had to take the awning down early. The pitch became somewhat muddy as well, so if you do go for a hard standing choose your pitch carefully if you are given the opportunity.
The wardens were very friendly and helpful. They constantly mopped the floor in the facilities, without which they would have become quite muddy in the wet conditions - all credit to them. In fact I cleaned it myself on a couple of occasions too. The facilities themselves were adequate and in good condition (the site is only four years old) but I do not like the push button showers - especially when the 'push' only last for 7 seconds! There are laundry facilities, but no playground - children on bikes were a hazard at times.
Given that it is a newish C&CC site, we weren't bowled over with it. Our visit was spoiled by the unserviceable pitch and the 'flood'.
We tried a nearby pub, the Red Bull at Kingsley - the local CAMRA pub of the year in 2010. It's a friendly pub with good beer, and the fish and chips were excellent in quality and quantity.
If you like visiting National Trust properties, one of our favourites is at hand - Little Moreton Hall near Congleton, a Tudor house as near unchanged for 400 years as can be found anywhere. There's also Dunham Massey, a palatial Capability Brown job, and Tatton Park nearby - if you only visit one, make it Little Moreton.
Chester itself is a 'black and white' town with many old and more or less picturesque buildings, but we didn't find too much of interest on our brief visit after we had walked all the way around the walls (allow an hour or so). Had we had longer we might have sought out a museum, or visited the cathedral.
The point of the location in a way is Delamere Forest itself. We weren't there long enough to explore it unfortunately. The site is perfectly located for it, and provided you get a decent pitch (or dry weather) it's OK. If you want to be at this location, give it a try - otherwise, the C&CC has better sites in our opinion.

I stayed here one night after Cycling across the Cheshire Cycleways. On arrival I found the staff very friendly and helpful. As I was In a one man Tent ( Classed as a Backpacker. ) I was given a pitch facing the office and entrance. On a small triangular grassed area.
The Facilities are kept spotlessly clean. The Showers ( Need a longer Timer for water Flow ), washroom toilets. Lovely decor. In the same block is a laundry and washing up area with adequate sinks.
Also there Is an Information hut, with plenty of leaflets, In the wardens office there is food, & commodities sold as well. The Site Is lovely and clean and well laid out.
Surrounded by trees and paths leading to the Forest walks. The road noise Is tolerable and not much noise from the Main railway track.
The Staff on site work very hard to achieve a very high standard. And are very accommodating and attentive ( They are a credit to The CC)
The Campsite Is Set in a beautiful area. And has a lot of places to visit nearby. ' I would Highly Recommend '.

Very well laid out site with large pitches, modern shower block and w/c's, all very clean. Poor tv signal if you're down near the exit next to the woods, no road noise down there, great walks with the dog in the woods. Didn't like the hardstanding as when wet it was very was dirty, unlike the washed gravel on some other sites. Friendly staff, can get very busy, didn't eat out so unable to review pubs. Motorhome service area. Only negative comment is, lots of unsupervised children of all ages using site roads as a race track, no fault of the site staff.

Our first visit to this site and our first to a C&CC site.
The site was very good and level. Toilets blocks were clean and very nice. Showers as previously mentioned by others are of the push button type and could do with a bit longer for each push. Plenty of hot water.
The warden was very helpful and always smiling.
Great access to Delamere Forest from the edge of the site.
The site is next to a main road and seemed noisy at first but soon forgot about it. Same with the trains which never bothered us at all(About one every half hour or so).
What I didn't like was that our trailer tent had to be inch perfect on the plot and our friends in a neighbouring plot were requested to move thier tent by about two feet as it was out of place.
We were not allowed to burn logs in the BBQ. There is no children's play area. You are not allowed to play ball games, frisbees, kites or model airplanes ('expensive caravans and motorhomes around').

We had a lovely time here and the weather was good. Our pitch was large and sunny although we were close to the railway station it did not bother us to much.
There was some road noise and also planes overhead. Great for going to Chester on train.
Toilets and showers were clean and tidy. Pub was not to far away and meal was good but not cheap.
The site does have recycling bins but were overflowing. Tv reception was good we got all the digi channels.
This site is very popular so book in advance.

This is a nice site, with clean shower/toilet block sited next to the office.
There was some road noise, but this was not a bother once tucked up in sleeping bag!
Great walks from the site, miles and miles of forest tracks.
Or if you don't want to walk, take the train at the station next door!
A walk along the Sandstone trail is a must.You come to a village where there is a lovely pub called The Boot Inn.
Shop at end of road, sells essentials. Fresh fruit and veg etc and hot pies! Chip van £2.10 chips.
Next to the site is a lake where birds were nesting and at dusk squawking for all they were worth- an amazing sight and sound!
The station next to site has a cafe and also sells lovely ice-creams, refreshing after a walk up to Old Pale and back.
We drove to Chester, about 9 miles away and then on to Talacre beach in Wales. A fantastic day out

I loved this site. It is literally on the outskirts of the Forest, you just walk through the gate and there is 70 miles of tracks to enjoy, plus a Go-Ape, if you like that sort of thing!
There was a wee bit of road noise but not intrusive and the trains from the adjacent station bothered us not at all. Wardens really friendly. When we arrived it was fish and chip night, delicious chips, the next night was pie night! We only stayed 2 nights but I understand Saturday is pizza night!
We caught the train to Chester (about 20 minutes and really cheap) and had a great day out. Loads to see. You can also catch the train to Manchester if you prefer.
There is lots to do in the area so we will be back.
The only minor gripe was that the showers were the push button variety and the flow seemed to last only for a few seconds. It would make a more comfortable bathing experience if these were adjusted but that is just a minor niggle. Go.You will enjoy it!

This is a very nice site, just a little near to the main road. The adjacent railway line produced no noise at all. The staff were very very helpful and friendly.
The toilet block was very clean if a little small and a nuisance when you have to push shower control every few seconds. Chip van on site on Fridays, get a free raffle ticket and the winner gets money off to spend on chippy van. All in all 8 / 10.

Just returned from 5 nights at this site and what a great site it is. The people who run the site are all very friendly and helpful. The facilities are spotless and the showers were always piping hot. A fish 'n' chip van visits the site on a Tuesday & Friday night and Thursday is pie night. Oh yeh pie night.
It is a 2 minute walk to Delamere station were you can get the train into Chester, Manchester or Liverpool, just use the cafe or get a lovely clotted cream ice cream.Great after a long bike ride. There is direct access to the forest from the site for cycling or walking so no fear of having to cross busy roads with children.
I do feel the site would benefit from a small play area for the kids as no ball games are allowed anywhere on the site other than a small wooded area, which for the more paranoid amongst us does not feel like the safest place for kids to be. There is a bit of noise from the road outside the site but you soon get used to that. All in all a lovely site which we will be visiting again.

This site is well worth a visit. The staff are really friendly and helpful. Pitches are very adequate we had a hard standing.
We also have a very long unit but it fitted onto the pitch well.
We backed onto the woods and didn't really notice any road noise. We went for long walks in the woods and relaxed on site.
There was a fantastic pizza van on Saturday night all cooked fresh in front of you, delicious.
The toilets were very clean and the showers were nice and warm although could do with a longer auto switch off. You also had plenty of hanging space on the back of the door. Something many sites fail to allow for.
If you can get a pitch it's well worth the visit.

It has taken us two years to get a pitch on this site, and it was well worth the wait. The site facilities were excellent and site well maintained.
Being within Delamere Forest there is a lot of walking/cycling activities and the highlight of our stay was completing the Go-Ape just 5 minutes from the site. The staff at the Go-Ape were top-notch, friendly and professional - strongly recommend.
There is a train station again 5 minutes from the site with hourly trains between Manchester and Chester - well priced tickets and our first visit to Chester was brilliant.
Site staff were very friendly always making you feel welcome, and the campers were really friendly too, we enjoyed the England v Germany match with a group of campers age ranging 21 to 74 - fabulous night. We will be returning.

Just had 3 nights here. A nice compact site, staff very friendly and all facilities clean and tidy. Be warned though, if you are a light sleeper the noise from the road etc will be a problem. Pitched on the grass, we had loads of room.
Great location for the kids, right in the forest, ideal for Chester etc. We will be going back hopefully this year.

Our second visit to this superb site, and we will be visiting again. We have stopped on both sides of the site and have not been bothered by any noise from trains or traffic.
The facilities are well kept and up to the usual club standard. For dog walking the whole of the Delamere Forest is available from the site without having to walk along any roads. Beware pools in the woods that are covered in duckweed if your dog has not seen it before, our dog thought it was solid only to find five feet of water underneath.
The 13 mile footpath, the Baker Way, starts from the station alongside the site and ends at Chester station, an interesting and varied walk through woods, fields, quiet lanes and canal towpaths with a convenient 20 min train ride back to the site.
For those wanting to stretch their uphill muscles, Old Pale, the highest hill in Cheshire is nearby and has a surfaced footpath to the summit as well as a more interesting route through woodland.

My wife and I loved this site great staff great for dog walking, some of the pitches were a bit small and tv reception is poor but all in all we loved it.
The mobile pizza van comes on saturday evening and is the best pizza I've ever eaten in the UK bar none and I've eaten a lot of pizzas.
The toilets and showers were spotless it is one of my favourite sites.

Visited for a weekend to combine trip with kids to Chester Zoo and to wander around the forest.
Would agree with the comments of the majority in that it is very clean and well maintained.
Special mention for Steve who was very understanding when we turned up and wished to use an extension which made us slightly too big for a standard pitch (they do not have Jumbo pitches). He happily sorted us out.
For tents it should be borne in mind that the noise from the road and train line is a factor late at night.
