Why stay here ...

Our CL is extremely quiet and sits on the edge of Bateswood Nature Reserve in the Borough of Newcastle under Lyme Staffordshire.

We are 2 miles from junction 16 of the M6 being convenient for over night stops for journeys going North or South.

Adults, children and pets are very welcome.

The site is on an acre lawned paddock which is very flat and firm even in wet weather.

The pitches are large and individual hedged with Canadian Spruce and have electric hook up.

The site is a perfect base camp to explore Newcastle, The Potteries outlet, Nantwich, Bridgemere Garden World, Little Moreton Hall, Biddulph Grange, Trentham Gardens and Tatton Park.

We have a coarse fishing pool on site which is well stocked with carp, tench etc.

There is a shop, Post Office and pub within walking distance and some good places to eat 5 minutes away.

Dog walk on site. Adjacent Bateswood Nature Reserve.

Facilities on site ...

  • Coarse fishing
  • Dog walk from site

Excellent Stop Over

This is a great site to stop over. The Wardens were very friendly and helpful. The area had great history of the old mining village and a great walks around the lakes for the dogs. Lovely nature reserve. I would recommend this site.

Brilliant stopover site

Excellent stopover site.

We stayed just the night, similar to others, very convenient when travelling from Scotland to Cornwall. As it was just the night then can't comment on local facilities, places of interest etc. There is however a cracking little nature reserve next to the site that's good for a wander. There...

A gem

We stayed here for two nights to break our journey from Cornwall to Scotland as it’s about halfway. Conveniently close to the M6 and easy to access, but you can only hear a faint hum of traffic from the motorway, certainly not intrusive or disturbing at all. The... Show more

First start to Motorhoming

Our first venture out in the Motorhome, what a perfect first start. Communication with the owner was so easy. Wardens looking after the site were extremely helpful. Fabulous walks from the site around the beautiful Nature Reserve. The local Indian take-away delivers right to the gate and... Show more

Fantastic site.

We have stayed at "The Lodge" on many occasions. It is extremely easy to get to being a couple of miles from the M6. There's a warm welcome when you arrive and a pitch is allocated. It's a very quiet and peaceful site with grassed over hardcore pitches which are... Show more
