What’s not to love about this campsite? Forest View Inn Caravan Park has a mini-farm chock full of friendly animals just waiting to welcome your kids – and there’s something for adults too, as the site has its own pub. Set on the outer edges of Delamere Forest in Cheshire, pitching up here also gives you access to all the forest’s walking and cycling routes. On this friendly, family-run camping and caravanning site, there is a scattering of large, non-electric grass and gravel tent pitches, all with spectacular forest views and surrounded by seasonal wild flowers. The pitches share facilities with the main campsite – they’re no more than a couple of minutes’ walk – and The Forest View country pub is about the same distance away. It opens for food from late afternoon during the week, and from lunchtime onwards at the weekend. Kids are welcome, and there’s always a traditional guest ale on tap. If the weather is playing ball, sit outside on the terrace, and if not, there’s plenty of seating inside. Of course the kids will want to meet the emus, chickens, pigs, goats and donkeys on the mini-farm too, so the chances are you won’t get to stay for long in the pub.

Adam B. The reviewer booked through Pitchup.com

Non-electric grass and earth tent pitch

Liked: Location to Delamere Forest, pub on site, friendly staff.

Disliked: Showers were very dirty, grass for tent pitch we were given was poor and unmaintained with lots of dirt patches. For £20 for a 1 person tent for 1 night I expected clean showers and a decent pitch.

From the manager: I am sorry you were so disapointed. I accept the toilets and showers could be better. but it is interesting how some love it and others don't. Its not for every one I accept that. but its also not a lot of money. Mike

Non-electric grass and earth tent pitch

Liked: Amazing views, helpful staff with all amenities available. Local pub with a weekly trip from the chip van and a daily visit from the ice cream van! Kids loved the small on site farm too.

Disliked: Size of pitching areas were a little small and slightly uneven but could just be us being fussy?
