There is a site right outside Alton Towers and a pub just down the road. It's a CCC site from memory.

Just checked, it's The Star, Alton. It says it's a mile from the entrance, I remember it as being closer, we definitely walked.

Oakamoor is about 3 miles away and there is a cycle track park where you may be able to park by the old railway station...go past the first car park (by Lord Nelson pub)then past car park with barrier then. left over the bridge.

Just a heads up that next weekend is bank holiday weekend and the start of schools half term so Alton Towers likely to be busy so check out fast passes for the rides you want to go on.

The Star https://www.campingandcaravanningcl...n-the-star-camping-and-caravanning-club-site/

Is the nearest place to stop for Alton Towers, it’s about a mile or so to the towers with the Star pub a short walk away from the CCC site

The next closest is Hales Hall which is about 3 or 4 miles away.

Stayed at the Star before and it is a beautifully designed site but ruled with a first of iron! It was too repressive for my (very well behaved) kids and my husband and I. A place that is a tiny bit further but a lovely family run site is the Lower Minklin Caravan Site.

They are soo lovely, a really nice family, plenty of space, We stay here when we go to Alton Towers. They have lovely back trails to a quaint village pub which serves delicious food. And at night the owls hoot and the rabbits and foxes come out. It’s lovely!!

Plus the bus goes right past the site, the stop is right outside and takes you all the way into Alton Towers! 10 minute journey. All the details re bus times and local amenities etc are on the above website.
