  • Spacious family site under 10 minutes' drive from Chester
  • 15 minutes' drive from Cheshire Oaks and Chester Zoo
  • Campfires and barbecues allowed on pitches
Take a swift exit from the end of the M56 and pitch up within minutes: how’s that for easy access? And with the M53 and A55 nearby as well, Oakwood Farm Touring Park is spectacularly well located for travel from Liverpool, Manchester and north Wales. A few miles from the fably handsome city of Chester, this site has loads of things to do nearby: a 15-minute drive will bring you to the zoo, the racecourse or a designer shopping spree. Head north a little and on a warm day (or less warm if you’re feeling brave) you can be dipping your toes in the sea at the beaches on the Wirral, half an hour’s drive away. You’re welcome to light a barbecue to cook your dinner; a supermarket 10 minutes away if you need to stock up on sausages. If you’d like to go out, a couple of pubs are a mile or so away and a wide range of eats are available in central Chester.

Mia B. The reviewer booked through Pitchup.com

Fully-serviced hardstanding touring pitch

Liked: Neat, good size stands. Secure.

Disliked: Only 1 shower and 2 WCs. Right next to ring road so very noisy, and very bright street lights. Good for neighboring Chester and the Wirral though.

Electric grass tent pitch

Liked: The stuff we’re so friendly and we’re there is we needed, for example I called the office on the way to the site as we got lost and he called back two minutes later to ensure that we had got to the site safely. The facilities were very clean. We were shown around the site/ to our pitch by a lovely lady from the office who left us to have a wonderful nights stay after a nice chat :)

Disliked: That we had to type in a 5 digit code every time we went to the toilet.

Fully-serviced hardstanding touring pitch

Liked: The park was tidy and clean with plenty of room between pitches so i didnt feel on top of others.

Disliked: Road noise, we had a "Boy Racer" causing mayhem which the park could not do anything about.

Local attractions

Oakwood Farm's location puts it within easy reach not only of major cities but also lots of family-friendly attractions. A perennial favourite is Chester Zoo, 10 minutes' drive away – the 125-acre park is home to more than 15,000 animals, many of them exotic and endangered species, so there's plenty to keep you entertained for a full day. For animal life of the marine variety, head to the Blue Planet Aquarium, four miles away, where you can walk through a tunnel of sharks or sign up to don a wetsuit and get in the tank (advance booking required). Walking around the city of Chester, four miles away, makes a most agreeable day out too: stroll on the city's ancient walls, visit the cathedral's falconry exhibit, take a boat trip on the River Dee and admire the famed black and white buildings in Chester Rows. Half an hour's drive and you're on the Wirral and its beaches: go for Red Rocks beach for birdwatching or head to the North Wirral Coastal Park to climb among the sand dunes. Also on the Wirral is Port Sunlight, a village built for local factory workers in the late 19th century: there's lots to see here including a park, museum, art gallery and heritage tours.
