Fully-serviced grass motorhome pitch

Liked: Love this site. We received a warm welcome upon arrival and then enjoyed a lovely relaxing evening. The pizza van and bar are great and there was a friendly atmosphere amongst staff and customers. Pizzas also delicious! The site is well organised and in a very pretty spot. We'll be back again soon!

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked: The owner and staff were so lovely! They made the atmosphere relaxed and friendly and went out of their way to be fun and helpful with the kids! The area is beautiful. You have your own designated space, the grass is cut into areas so each pitch is slightly separate. The tiny pub was cute!

Disliked: The only negative I would say is the onsite cafe was quite expensive. £4 for 2 slices of toast. But that is completely optional of course.

Excellent site, clean facilities, open spaces. Highly recommend.

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked: The best camp site I’ve ever stayed on! We wanted a weekend break for all the extended family; grandparents, parents and grandchildren and hoped a first attempt at a whole family camping would be a success. It certainly was, thanks to the excellent facilities, tranquil surroundings (apart from the planes, which prompted much plane recognition!) and helpful staff. Our request for pitches together was honoured, a huge space with room for three tents and the ‘gathering’ tent. Easy access to toilets and washing facilities so the children could be independent, safe fields for them to walk and play rounders in, an easy walk to cafe, shop, showers and toilet block. A great pizza truck and barge bar, helpful staff who transported all the gear from cars to pitch so no cars necessary and well maintained mown pathways within lovely wild grass divisions between tent pitches. We all had a super stay at Oakwood and hope to come again soon.

Disliked: Nothing other than planes at nightfall but guess Oakwood can’t do much about them. We quickly got used to the sound.

Liked: Everyone on site was extremely friendly, and they accommodated us turning up with our bikes by giving us somewhere to lock them up. Fantastic breakfast at the cafe in the morning and very private pitching spots. The bar and pizza van were great for the evening

Bell tent

Liked: From the moment we arrived until we left everything was perfect. Firstly the staff were lovely and really helpful when we first arrived and we couldn’t believe how clean and well thought out the site was. The bell tent was clean, really cozy and comfortable and it also had lots of amenities to use like a kettle, camping stove and water container which was a nice bonus. The views around the site were beautiful and lovely walks nearby which was great especially for dogs. I can’t recommend this site enough, thank you for a relaxing break away, we will definitely be back!

Disliked: Nothing

Local attractions

Start off with some good old-fashioned industrial heritage at the Lion Salt Works in the nearby village of Marston (10 minutes' drive), or visit the Anderton Boat Lift (15 minutes) to see how ingenious Victorian engineers negotiated a 50-foot drop between the river Weaver and the Trent and Mersey Canal. The handsome market town of Northwich (10 minutes) and its bustling high street should be next on your agenda – especially if your stay at Oakwood Marina coincides with its monthly artisanal market. For cities where there's always something on, you could head to Chester (40 minutes) or Manchester (40 minutes), both of which have top museums, kid-friendly attractions, shopping opportunities and historic quarters to explore. Need a breather after all that? Fresh air – and plenty of it – is available at Marbury Country Park (15 minutes), Tatton Park (20 minutes) or Dunham Massey (25 minutes), a National Trust-managed property with a deer park and garden that makes the place well worth visiting all year round.
