FHU grass RV campsite

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!

Primitive grass tent campsite

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.

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.
