 Having friends come to visit from a distance, myself and my husband decided that it would be nice for the four of us to spend a night away, camping at Quarry Walk Park. Although this site is only around twenty minutes drive from our home, we had heard many great reviews and going from their website this place looked wonderful.
We emailed to make our booking, and everything went fine, until we were told that they must receive payment prior to arrival, over the telephone but they do not accept Visa Electron which is the only card myself and my husband have access too. Now this started to worry us as we were unsure of whether this was going to jeopardise our visit. Luckily our friends had an alternative card and were able to pay the week before we arrived so that was ok.
When we arrived at the park on Tuesday morning we were very happy with what we saw. The staff were friendly and helpful, the campsite quiet and spacious, there was a shop onsite where we could buy any essentials we may have forgotten and we were looking forward to a relaxed Tuesday and Wednesday.
We drove to the area of the site we had been told to, pitched both tents and set up our little BBQ for a spot of lunch. We were surrounded by hills and trees, the setting was magnificent and we were all very relaxed and enjoying our day. After lunch we went for a walk around the site. the toilets are a bit of a trek from the tent area. We went and bought a few things from the shop to amuse ourselves with and then headed back to our tents and just sat down to relax with a glass of wine.
No problems up until now and we were having a most enjoyable day away from the chaos of normal life. That was until some gentleman (campsite staff!) approached us and told us we had to move our tents and cars to a different area as there was "a party booked in for five nights" who wanted this space. His manner annoyed both ourselves and our friends, and we felt that we were being treated inferior as we were only staying one night. Did it really make so much difference whose tent was where? Anyways, not wanting to spoil our peaceful days, we moved as instructed to the adjacent area and re-set up our belongings for what was hopefully the last time.
This time we stayed where we were. Enjoyed our day and night relaxing with a quiet drink, playing cards, and generally doing what friends do, enjoying our surroundings, the local wildlife (birds, sheep and rabbits) and the peace and quiet.
The only real negative issue we had with this site was how far the toilet/shower block is located from the tent area and the fact that after dark there was no lighting whatsoever surrounding our area or leading to the toilets, especially when the road/path is lined with trees on either side. Personally, neither my friend or I felt comfortable walking from our camping area to the toilet blocks alone. I would suggest that this may be a safety issue with room for improvement.
All in all, this was an enjoyable break, even taking into account the points we have raised. The one thing I will say is that it is fairly obvious that tents are not treated with the same respect/importance as caravaning visitors. Either that or they saw two couples in their mid-twenties and assumed that age would be an issue.

We have just returned from a fab weekend at this site. A small group of us (4 tents) camped in the lower tent field. Very sheltered by the birch trees which was a welcome relief from the blistering sun. Bit of a hike to the toilets but they were very clean, as were the showers.
Nice to have bins provided close to the pitching area and the picnic benches were a bonus.

First camping trip with a tent for me. My boyfriend has been camping several times - my only experience of camping under canvas was when I was younger in the South of France.
My first experience of camping was great. The proprietors of the Quarry Bank are very friendly and helpful; the site itself is set in some beautiful countryside - lots of walks; the site is clean and the toilet/showers very clean. We are now planning our next trip and we will definitely be returning to Quarry Bank

A group of us selected this site for a bank holiday get away. I have to admit that the site wasn't our first choice, but as we had left it a bit late to start booking, this seemed to offer most of the things we wanted (location wise).
The site is relatively remote, down a single track road for about 1 to 2 miles, this means that things like pubs and reasonable sized shops are a few miles away, probably by car. The site does have a small shop at reception with a selection of the basics.
We were pitched on the first small field by reception. When we arrived we pretty much had the choice of where to pitch (no marked pitches) but it was a tough choice as the ground was very boggy and puddle ridden in a few places though bearing in mind that May had been pretty wet that may account for some if it. As the name suggests, its a former quarry, with a few steep cliffs about the place, which might be worth taking into consideration if you have children. The stand pipe on the field also seemed to have an intermittent supply of fresh water, which we never did quite figure out why, but never caused us any great problems.
The facilities for the top field were quite lacking. The closest facilities were a single toilet / washbasin / shower all in one room, so if someone was having a shower, a queue formed for the loo. Timing was everything to ensure you didn't end up in a queue of 5 or 6 waiting for this single facility. There were other facilities on the site, but we were informed they were a good walk away, and we never ventured looking for them.
The site seems to be tailoring itself more towards statics and holiday lodges. It is relatively close to Alton Towers theme park, so if you are looking to take a break up there, and need some peace and quiet away from the park, then the site wasn't too bad.
In general, not a bad site, but also not a great site. Adequate would describe it well from a campers point of view.

A very attractive site set in woodland and only a short drive from Alton Towers. We were lucky enough to have the small tent field to ourselves which was sheltered and well drained. The shower/ toilet was clean and well maintained. The site owners were friendly and helpful.

Lovely site. Friendly owners. Very clean, warm shower and toilet facilities. Nice little shop on site - sells just the basics to keep you going but Cheadle only 5mins away by car for your Friday Big Shop! There are some beautiful walks around the site but be warned it is a quarry and there are some pretty big drops...
Definitely worth a re-visit.

Just got back from spending a lovely bank holiday at Quarry Walk, what a super site! So peaceful and relaxing. Clean toilets and showers had lashings of hot water. Great walks in the woods, rabbits, squirrels and birds all around. Rhododendron bushes and blankets of bluebells looked very pretty at this time of year! Plenty of artistic photo opportunities. Will definitely be back again and just recommended to some friends already.

We stayed here over the May Bank holiday and given that it was the only campsite in the area with pitches available we were pleasantly surprised. The tenting fields are away from the caravan areas and are very natural. No regimented pitches. We stayed in the top tenting field which was in a copse of beautiful silver birches - especially when the sun went down. We were a stones throw from the (clean)toilet and hot shower near reception. The kids (7 from 2-12 in our group) had a wonderful time making dens in the trees and loved the sandy play area down in the caravan area. It was a little bit far from the tent field but worth the walk. The kids got filthy but it was a perfect weekend for them!!!
The campsite managers were friendly and accommodating - would recommend this campsite!

This is such a quiet tranquil site. Each caravan has a screened pitch and must feel secluded.
The tent bit we pitched on was near the entrance and we had use of the toilet and shower there. It looked like they were having this extended. It was clean, and loads of loo roll and soap and papertowels.
It was a fair walk down to the other toilet block with the dish washing facility but I guess they will incorporate this in the new building.
We felt totally relaxed here even after being at Alton Towers (which is very expensive).
Would stay here again if we are in the area.

This site is great for anyone wanting a stay in a natural environment. Though it seems mainly to cater for caravans there are several large grassy areas reserved for tents. Don't let the fact that it is an old quarry put you off - the camping areas are quite soft with no problems re stoney ground!
The site has an abundance of trees, silver birch, broom, dog rose, with the odd oak and beech here and there. There are quite extensive nature walks which are great for kids. The quarry is very much returned to nature and quite beautiful.
Toilets and showers are quite a walk from the tent areas but are very modern and clean and pleasant to use.
Looking forward to another visit.
