  • Family-friendly camping 15 minutes’ drive from Crewe in rural Cheshire
  • Chester Zoo and Blue Planet Aquarium both 50 minutes’ drive
  • On-site basics shop; dog-walking area; pubs within 10 minutes’ drive
Neat as a new pin, spacious, level and divided by young saplings. That’ll be the hardstanding and grass pitches at Oakwood Campsite, a family-friendly spot bordering farmland and set 10 minutes’ drive from the conservation village of Church Minshull in rural Cheshire. All the requisites for a relaxed break with family and friends are on hand at this well-maintained site: a modern shower block with baby-changing amenities and a wet room for the mobility impaired, pot washing, water stations, chemical waste disposal, recycling bins and charging points. Left something essential behind at home? Chances are you’ll be able to pick it up in the small site shop at reception, which is open in the morning and early evening. You can eat breakfast and lunch at Minshull’s Garden Centre (10 minutes’ walk), and if you fancy dining out in the evening, there are several pubs within 10 minutes’ drive, as well as takeaways and fast-food outlets in Crewe (15 minutes’ drive). Your canine companions are welcome, and there’s a dedicated dog-walking area on site – please keep them on leads around the pitches. You can also exercise them (and yourselves of course) on longer expeditions down the Shropshire Union Canal towpath.

Primitive grass tent, travel trailer or trailer tent campsite

Liked: Beautiful and clean. Owner was very pleasant and the site even though it was busy was quiet during the night. Could not find the Elsa point but not urgent enough to contact the owner. Would stay again

Disliked: Shower not as powerful as I would like but perfectly functional.

Powered cement/asphalt and grass travel trailer campsite

Liked: My wife myself and 2 grand-kids have just returned from Oakwood campsite, after a lovely stay over the May Bank holiday weekend. The site is spotlessly clean well maintained and well laid out in an oval shape. The pitches are large either grass or some hard standing, the only small issue we found was that they seemed quite close together. The site is very new and after speaking with Andrew they are still learning what does and doesn't work, but they seem to have got all the major points bang on. The shower/toilet block is first class if possibly a little small if the site is full but has great hot showers. We were met on arrival with a warm greeting from Lucy, she confirmed our pitch number and directed to it, literally just behind us. The little on site shop stocks most things you might have forgotten including fresh milk straight from the cows on the farm, as well has a freezer stocked with local produced meat . There is a large central grass area great for the kids and adults to play on. There is an Elsan point at one end of the site near the entrance with water points scattered around the site easily spotted in the huge upturned concrete pipes. Grey wast is disposed of in the bushes to feed the plants . There is a walk from the far corner of the site through the gate which leads down to the canal where you can walk up to Aqueduct Marina and enjoy food and drink in the cafe .There are 2 pubs within walking distance but we only visited the Badger Inn on our stay which is aprox 45-60min walk along country lanes , but is well worth a visit. Lucy and Andrew were fantastic hosts, nothing was too much trouble for Lucy, even getting their tractor to help someone who was stuck on their pitch, and Andrew was a great source of local. information which made our stay all the better. Hope to visit again soon.

Corner powered grass tent, travel trailer or trailer tent campsite (large)
