Best for

Families, thrill seekers, walkers, great outdoor lovers

Enjoy a fun-filled family holiday packed with thrills from one of the UK’s best-loved theme parks with a stay at Alton, The Star Club Site. As the name suggests, this site is right on the doorstep of Alton Towers, but it is also ideal for outdoor lovers too, being a few miles south of the Peak District National Park.

Enjoy thrills or be still

This is a spacious campsite with modern facilities including toilets and showers, designated dog walk, and an on-site shop. A children’s play area will keep your little ones entertained between trips to the theme park, while super service pitches offer a little camping luxury. Despite being so close to Alton Towers, this site still has a rural feel with some pitches offering great views of the surrounding countryside.

Picturesque peaks

Walkers will appreciate this site’s proximity to iconic Peak District scenes such as Dovedale, Matlock, and Bakewell. It is also around a 30-minute drive from Carsington Water – a great place for walking, fishing, or even trying your hand at water sports. After a long day of sightseeing, nearby pub and restaurant The Star at Cotton is a cosy place to put your feet up, while nearby Stoke-on-Trent is also home to great dining and pubs.

Enjoy the trill of a theme park with the comfort of a campsite by booking a stay at Alton, The Star Club Site – ideal for families or walkers.
