About Pitch and Canvas

Previously Camping, Glamping and Holiday Park of the Year by Marketing Cheshire, this site is a hidden gem nestled in the heart of the Cheshire countryside. Quiet and friendly, it's perfect for relaxing in the summer sun or strolling the quaint streets of historic Chester. The site offers a wide variety of accommodations to suit your needs, from cosy pods or spacious hardstanding pitches. There are also grass pitches, yurts and holiday homes - there really is something for everyone. Suitable for camping and touring, the pitches are spread across two fields. Hardstanding pitches are available with or without electric hookup. All pitches are located around the outsides, ensuring the middle area is open with plenty of space. Plus, you'll have fantastic views of the Sandstone Ridge. Oak and Acorn, the cosy pods, can house up to four people. Great for your weekend break away or your annual relaxing holiday, all year round. Oak pod offers you a peaceful night's sleep with a comfy double bed, a small fridge, a kettle and cutlery. Outside, you have your decking, tables and chairs, and a fire pit. In the autumn and winter months, there is an electric fire to keep you warm inside. Sleeps up to two adults and two children. Acorn pod, on the other hand, sleeps 2 people and provides camping without the canvas. This insulated pod includes two camp beds, a kettle and a picnic table. Remember to bring your bedding! There are also grass pitches, yurts and holiday homes available. You may want to explore the peaceful walks on the Sandstone Trail, followed by a drink in one of the many great coffee shops or pubs. With Chester Zoo, BeWilderwood, and other famous attractions just moments away, there's something for the whole family to enjoy. By night, after a fun-filled day, relax under the stars toasting marshmallows on one of the firepits. The staff here understand the importance of quality time and endeavour to make your stay memorable, after all, you don't get many holidays a year so when you do you want it to be the best! You can get away from your daily routines and take a step back in time to a place of bird song and magnificent views to create lifelong holiday memories.

The site is open from 28th February until the end of November. The grass pitches and Willow yurt are available from Easter.

A note from the site themselves...

The site was born out of my love of all things camping. As a child, all my family holidays were spent under canvas. My mum and dad, brother and I, would head off for our two-week holiday, come rain or shine. It didn't matter. Every year, without fail, we would come back and say, 'that was the best holiday ever!'.

This is exactly what I want our guests to say and feel when they have stayed with us.

It's more than our family business. It's a passion to show people just how great quality time is and that you don't need to spend a fortune to make lifelong memories.

Toasting marshmallows around a fire pit at night is magical and memorable. Playing cards in the tent when the weather isn't great with a nice cup of tea is fabulous family time. Playing rounders when the sun is shining and making friends with the people in the next tent is so enjoyable. Of course, visiting the gazillion places close by also adds to all the wonderful memories and talking points.

We welcome people to come and experience quality time with loved ones and see why I get so passionate about it! At the weekend, you can join Smudge (my fur baby) and I on our walk on the ridge and I can show you 1st hand a great walking route and the magnificent views to be seen.

Single Axle Caravan - Electric Hardstanding PitchesAug 2024

Excellent location as a base to visit other places, we went to Beeston castle, Chester, Oulton Park, still plenty more places we could have gone to. Owners and staff were fantastic, really friendly. Pop-up bar and Pizza van were an added bonus.
