Camping trip

Had a real nice stay! We had things booked for the next day so it was a real early start. There was a really loud couple on site until 3am, so hardly had any sleep, but a fantastic site.

Lovely site

The location was great for us wanting a one night stopover. Short bus ride into Chester from right outside the park. There is quite a bit of road noise but it didn't particularly bother us. We were met on arrival by a lovely lady who was very helpful and gave us all the information to get to Chester. Wi-Fi on the park was a bonus as many charge extra for this. It was a quiet and friendly site, with a mixture of camper vans, tents and caravans. The only downside were the toilets and showers. There is a new block of showers but this was not finished when we went so was not open. The only available shower is in the toilet block which I didn't find very clean so didn't use. We just used the one in our van. I understand there have been delays in the new block which was a shame. We would stay again though as the location suited us.

Hi Tracey, thank you for your review, we're sorry the new shower block was delayed in opening, we are hoping it should be finished within the next few weeks. Kind regards, Oakwood Farm.

Lovely little site

Lovely site. Very well run. Lovely and clean facilities. Very handy for travelling into Chester. Great communication from the staff, emailing details and instructions promptly. Very helpful. Would definitely stay again. Thank you.

Our stay

Nice, clean, site. People are really friendly. No ladies or gents on toilet doors so not to sure which one to go in, men were going in ladies and vice versa so didn't use them. Road very busy, but quietened down at night.

Standard

Great base camp, there's a local bus which runs every hour into Chester which we used and was super friendly! The busy roads either side are very noisy at night, and if sleeping in tent/awning expect to be woken up by loud lorries! The toilets and shower block, one shower in men's and one in women's with two loos, is not an actual block! The cleanliness was not great, but usable if desperate! We got the impression there's a new block of showers and toilets coming, as there's a new unused building which looks like it should be showers/toilets. There's nothing in walking distance so if you like a drink you're stuck in one place! There is a cafe on site, which was lovely, but very expensive! There's also a pet shop on site which was amazing for our spoilt pooch!

Hi Beckie, thank you for your review, we are sorry you did not enjoy your stay. As you say in your review, we are a great base camp for the local and surrounding areas like the Wirral, Liverpool, Manchester and North Wales which does however mean we are subject to road noise. We are in the process of building a new shower block which will be open in the next few weeks. We are sorry you did not find the toilets up to standard, they are cleaned thoroughly daily and we encourage guests to inform us of any problems. There are a couple of pubs within a 15-20 minute walk of ourselves. Kind Regards, Oakwood Farm.

Nice peaceful site

This is a neat, clean, peaceful site. Large hard standing pitches surrounded by manicured grass with EHU and water provided for each pitch. Secure site, protected by electronic gates with entrance and exit controlled by code. Toilets, showers and washing up facilities do need upgrading, though. Only a short drive into the beautiful and interesting historic city of Chester. Shop, Greggs and Starbucks only a five minute walk away. Cafe on site, but this is not open on Mondays.

Nice little site

Lovely little campsite. Tents are on grass, in the middle of the site. Large pitch sizes with electric and water. Staff very friendly, toilets are basic but very clean. Looks like they are building a new shower block which would be a great asset to the site. Yes, you can hear the traffic at night from the busy road behind the campsite, but it didn't bother us at all, we slept really well. Dog walk straight off the campsite and Chester is only about a 7min drive away. We will definitely return.

Thank you so much for your review Brian, we are so pleased you enjoyed your stay. It was a pleasure to meet you both and of course your 2 lovely dogs. We hope to see you here again in the near future.

Handy place for a stopover

Excellent experience. The only downside is if you don't like traffic noise, it's not for you. There is a main road and motorway nearby, I'm deaf as a door post so it was OK for me! Café onsite did a great breakfast.

Site's response

Thank you so much for your review, we are pleased you enjoyed your stay here at Oakwood Farm, Anthony. Unfortunately we can not control the traffic noise (although we have tried to minimise where possible, extra fencing, shrubs) and we do advise guests of our location, ideally situated for Chester/ North Wales/ Liverpool so some road noise is to be expected. The food is excellent in the onsite Café, the breakfast is a great choice, glad you enjoyed it!

Very good value

Lovely site, great staff, very helpful. Easy access to cycle path and bus stop is opposite if you want to visit Chester. Would definitely recommend.

Lovely little site

Lovely little site. The lady that greeted us was very friendly. Toilet/shower block was clean and lovely and warm, which was a nice touch at this time of year (February). We had read that the site was quite noisy with road noise but, although road noise was present, we didn't find it disruptive or excessive. All in all, a great little site and at £30 a night, very good value for money in the current climate. Bus ride to Chester was £2 each and took about 15 mins. We would definitely stay here again 👍

Very noisy road

Pleasant place to stay. The road is very noisy, we didn't sleep well. Felt it was too pricey at £30 a night with all that noise from the road. Breakfast at the onsite café was nice but felt it was also a bit pricey.

Thank you for your review, Leigh. Oakwood Farm.

Nice site

Very nice site. Pitches are nice and level and the site seems well looked after. Nice, clean café, the food we ate was decent. Only criticism, and it's a very small one, would be the noise from the adjacent main road.

Thank you for your review, Tony, we are pleased you enjoyed your stay. Kind regards, Oakwood Farm.

Noise

Nice area for camping, although the ground was very hard compared to when I went here in the 2023 summer. Unfortunately traffic noise is constantly going 24/7 so I won't be coming again. It is stated though on the sites listing.

Site's response

Hi Joe, thank you for your review, due to our close proximity to Chester/Wirral/North Wales we do have road noise. Kind regards, Oakwood Farm.

Site was nice

Not worth £30 a night. Site was nice but for £30 a night, I would expect better shower and toilet facilities. Plus, signs stating you clean the toilets everyday next to 3 month old cobwebs was a stretch.

Site's response

Hi Shaun, we are sorry you did not enjoy your stay. We are due to start work on a new shower block at the beginning of October. Our shower block is cleaned daily and we encourage our customers to report any issues they have to us. Kind regards, Oakwood Farm.

Traffic noise

The site is sandwiched between a motorway and a really busy A road. With only a fence and hedge between us and lorries all night long, we could not sleep and had to abandon our stay after 2 nights. I understand that the campsite cannot change this but it is nice to know upfront what to expect.

Site's response

Hi Margaret, thank you for your review. We are sorry you were unhappy with the road noise. This unfortunately is out of our control. We are located near the motorway which provides great links to Manchester, Liverpool and North Wales and many local attractions in the area. Kind regards, Oakwood Farm.

Good stay

Really good stay with my partner and three children.

Quiet campsite

The campsite was quiet and secure. Well kept grounds. Our only concern was the toilets and shower. Only 2 toilets and not always clean.

First time campers

Easy to find campsite and the campsite owner was very helpful. Clean facilities on a nice peaceful site, with a nice place to walk your dog at the back of the campsite. Café onsite and the petrol station on the roundabout are helpful. Would definitely use again!

Last minute, local Easter break

We stayed here purely because campsites in the Lake District were flooded and the children were so excited about camping, we felt we had to go somewhere, so this was very much a last minute booking. We weren't bothered about the traffic noise as it is what it is and we know the local area as we are only 30 mins away. Being 30 seconds away from the cycle path is also great for exploring. What I am unsure about is that the campsite says the toilet block has recently been refurbished? I really don't see how as it was very dirty all of the time and certainly not somewhere I would shower or have my children shower. For example, the flush buttons on both toilets were missing, there was a crack in the shower tray which looked like it had never been cleaned and the area was generally mucky. I know camping is camping, but it can certainly be improved upon. Even the patio outside the shower block was uneven with the paving being wobbly.

Site's response

We are sorry you did not find our facilities to your liking, Lucy. Our shower/toilet block are thoroughly cleaned by our in house team every day and monitored throughout the day and we do ask all guests in our arrival information to leave the facilities clean and tidy ready for the next guest to use, we also welcome guests to let us know straight away if there are any problems so we can rectify in a timely manner. We do realise wear and tear is starting to show and unfortunately our plans to rebuild a bigger shower/toilet block during the winter season have had to be put on hold due to unforeseen circumstances. Because of this, on the Wednesday and Thursday before your arrival, a new coat of paint was applied to all the walls, the doors were all varnished and the floors jet washed and cleaned with an industrial strength cleaner and coating. We are hoping to start the new facilities as soon as we get the go ahead without causing too much disruption to guests. We would like to reassure you that guest satisfaction is always our top aim, happy guests makes a happy Oakwood Farm.
