Great location and helpful wardens - Don't forget the sausages!!

This is a flat easy to pitch site , just off the motorway, so very easy to get to. The Wardens are super friendly and helpful, which always makes a difference. If you need help or advice, they are happy to help. The site is superbly located to visit Chester and the surrounding area, and North Wales. When you book in, do remember to ask for some sausages. The warden recommended them to us , and they are as good as they say!! Thanks Dominic and co, we will be back soon.

Lovely site - can't wait to return.

We have just returned from a 4 night stay at Chester Fairoaks and we have had a wonderful time. We arrived quite late about 7pm but we had several pitches to choose from, all a good size with plenty of space for car, van and a large awning. The Shower/Toilet blocks are spotlessly clean as are the pot washing area and laundry room. The location was fantastic for us, only a 2 minute walk to the nearest pub/restaurant 'The Rake' we had a drink in here one evening and could see the restaurant was packed. Further up to the main road, about another 5 minute walk there is a Carvery pub and Harvester. Both of these were extremely busy over the weekend period, especially Sunday, so we decided to visit The Harvester again on Monday evening - and the food was lovely. Also only a 5 minute drive or 15 minute walk is Cheshire Oaks Outlet Shopping Mall, hundreds of shops offering discounts and this is also were you get the local bus from to go into Chester or Liverpool, I believe the cost is £4 per person return. We got a taxi from the Caravan site to Chester and this was £12 one way. On site on a Monday and Thursday there is a Fish and Chip Van at the site entrance between 5pm-7pm, this was very popular on the Monday night with our fellow campers. The wardens are very friendly and informative, and always on hand around the site if needed. Overall we had a fantastic time and we will booking again soon.

Stayed here for the first time with my Granddaughter.

We stayed for five nights, the site is ideally located and very clean throughout. The staff are very friendly and helpful. During our stay an altercation occurred when a mobile home turned up very late with a (commercial) trailer intow, the staff remained very calm and polite despite being verbally abused, the motorhome occupants refused to move their vehicle denying returning members access to the site. The wardens are a credit to the club

A Premium site in the network

We paid Chester Fairoaks our first visit in 9 years of caravanning and wonder why we left it so long! Yes, it is on the upper end of the price range but the facilities cannot be faulted. We will be taking our bikes next time and cycling into Chester along the canal towpath - just 1.5 miles away from the site. The wardens were friendly, helpful and unobtrusive. Our favourite warden looked like he was in his dream job, a smile never left his face - it's amazing how positive people react to a smile! The site fully deserves it's 5 star rating and we cannot wait to go back

An Excellent Site

Smallish site well laid out and maintained. Stayed 4 - 9th August. Well located for Chester and its attractions; there's also plenty more to do and see further afield. The staff were very friendly, cheery and helpful. Cannot fault the site or the staff; but the behaviour of one male 'guest' was truly disgusting. The female member of staff who had to clean up the filth left distributed around one of the toilet cubicles deserves admiration and sympathy. There are people out there who are prepared to leave behind them a disgusting mess that someone else has to clean up. Well done the staff and shame on the perpetrator.\ Don't let this put you off the site, which as I say is excellent; I am sure that the problem is rare and dealt with with good humour.

Annual Visit to a great location

Just spent 10 days on site. We go there regularly. It provides great access to the North West and North Wales. Site is obviously a great 'cash cow' for the club as the site is pretty full on most nights. However, given that the site is full, and that in peak season it is expensive (I was paying £36 per night for 2 adults and 1 child), I would expect a little more for my money. Sure the toilet block is good, but access is only from one side. If you are old or disabled you need to pitch on the office side or be prepared to walk all the way round. TV is quoted as good, but there are many pitches where TV reception is less than adequate mainly because the club seems obsessed with allowing trees and hedges to go un-pruned. Pigeons are also a problem especially on the side straight up from the office in the confier hedge. They regularly land on your roof/awning and mess. You should also take strong waterproof shoes if the weather is likely to be inclement. The road surface develops massive puddles when rain falls. However it is still a site we will continue to visit.

Entertaining the grandchildren

We have just spent a full week at Chester Fairoaks with three of our teenage grandchildren. The site is in an excellent base from which to take maximum advantage of the many local attractions available to keep a young family entertained. The wardens provide a first class welcome and are constantly busy maintaining the facilities in excellent order (bins emptied twice each day). The newly refurbished shower/toilet block is state of the art as one would expect and the pitches are generous. Being so conveniently located between two busy motorways and serviced by the fairly busy Rake Lane there is inevitably background traffic hum throughout daylight hours. This is supplemented by airplanes from Liverpool's John Lennon airport, depending on the wind direction, but we didn't find this to be obtrusive and the appearance of the enormous 'Beluga' aircraft transporting A380 Airbus wings to Toulouse from the nearby Broughton factory was a point of particular interest. All in all I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this site for its facilities, its location and its wardens but it isn't a peaceful haven to listen to the birds!

Happy to support such a friendly site

We come to this site often as it is close to the ferry ports for the Isle of Man. It is always a well run and pleasant site, however I have to say the present staff are a delight they really made us feel welcome from the begin to end of our stay. I can't recommend this site enough, so much so that we are returning in a couple of weeks for another visit.
