  • Small adults-only site on the Cheshire/Shropshire border
  • Half an hour's drive to Chester; just under an hour to Liverpool
  • On the Bishop Bennet Way for easy access to walks; close to the A41
Boots at the ready… Bluebell Wilds is just next to the Bishop Bennet Way, a popular long-distance trail that leads to the equally splendid Sandstone Trail and a number of other footpaths. That puts a whole range of walks within easy reach – along with a canalside pub 20 minutes’ stroll away for those post-walk pints. This adults-only site is part of a small farm close to the Cheshire/Shropshire border, about 10 minutes’ drive from Whitchurch. There are lovely rural views all around, and the site is often treated to some spectacular sunrises and sunsets. Whitchurch has plenty of places to pick up picnic bits to nibble while you watch the sky, and it also has takeaways that will deliver to site. Facilities on site include a washing-up area, chemical disposal point and modern toilet block with separate male and female toilets and a couple of wet rooms with showers. When you’re not out walking, there’s plenty more to do nearby, including castles, a gin distillery and a watersports lake; expand your horizons a little further and you can make day trips to Chester, Shrewsbury, Liverpool or Manchester. Getting out to all of these should be straightforward as the site is only a short way from the A41 for speedy journeys.

JANE T. The reviewer booked through Pitchup.com

Electric hardstanding and grass touring pitch

Liked: Bluebell Wilds is such a peaceful campsite. Set in the Shropshire countryside just off the A41. It is at the side of the Sandstone Trail so easy to pick up the walk. There is a map on the roadside. The amenities are excellent. Showers, toilets and washing up facilities. There is a dog exercise area. All the pitches in the campsite are large. Kim and her husband are friendly and always available to help with any queries. Whitchurch is a ten minute drive away and there are a couple pubs nearby serving food. Also we found the Lock Cafe, delicious homemade cakes whilst sitting next to the Llangollen canal. We will definitely visit again.

Disliked: Nothing to dislike

Sharon A. The reviewer booked through Pitchup.com

Electric hardstanding and grass touring pitch

Liked: Very well maintained site the pitches nice and level , loved the fact it had a dogfield ( even though very muddy due to weather ) it’s always a selling point for us to have a dog field , Kim the owner was fantastic and always on hand if you needed anything, not much to see off site on foot but a nice walk to the pub but if you don’t want to walk along the main road then go straight across at the junction and walk up Willeymoor road and it brings you out more or less across from the horse and jockey a good half hour walk . A lovely peaceful site lovely clean facilities

Disliked: Not so Much of a dislike but the toilets lights time out very quickly so a torch is needed as no windows

Lovely warm welcome from Kim. Spotless site and facilities. Ideal location for local walks…

Kevin R. The reviewer booked through Pitchup.com

Electric hardstanding and grass touring pitch

Liked: A great small gem of a site, very level pitches for motor home, all sites close to water, waste etc. Secure entry and exit with coded gate ensures that vehicles are nice and safe. Site is set back away from A41 and so there is no road noise at night, lovely views, and a warm welcome. Excellent new facilities, all accessed via coded locks, separate toilet and shower block. Ladies and Gents toilets in excellent condition. Shower block consists of 2 unisex showers in a wet room style, super large with hanging space and for a small site they are more than enough to cope, and were kept in immaculate condition. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would recommend to anyone wanting a quiet peaceful, small site with excellent facilities.

Disliked: Only small point and not a "Dislike" more of a heads up, the light did time out in the toilet block when sat on toilet after a minute or 2 and could only be switched back on by opening toilet door - maybe a sensor in each toilet stall would prevent this.

Local attractions

This may be an adults-only site, but there are plenty of ways to indulge your inner kid nearby… You might like to start by bouncing across the inflatable obstacle course at Alderford Lake (10 minutes’ drive), which also has wild swims and watersports, before going wide-eyed at the prospect of all the flavours on offer at The Ice Cream Farm (20 minutes). More grown-up days out are on hand too, including wanders around Cholmondeley Castle Gardens (10 minutes) and Beeston Castle (20 minutes) or seeking out the (not very) secret location of Hack Green Secret Nuclear Bunker (25 minutes). And maybe you’d also like to try the tipples at the Three Wrens Cheshire Distillery (15 minutes)? A little further afield, you might like to head to Chester (half an hour) for a wander among the half-timbered houses, a bit of retail therapy at Cheshire Oaks shopping village or a day of animal encounters at Chester Zoo. Liverpool (55 minutes) is also a great place for a day out.
