    Overview

    Enjoy the thrills of camping near Alton Towers Resort and the Peak District from this Club Site.


    The Peak District National Park is right on the doorstep of our Alton, The Star Club Site. If you are looking for Alton Towers camping, this attractive, well maintained family-friendly site is perfectly placed, being just a mile from the theme park.

    Carsington Water and Visitor Centre, north east of the campsite, offers a wide range of activities for all the family on and off the water including miles of footpaths and bridleways to explore, a children’s play area, fishing and many water sports.


    While Stoke-on-Trent may not be an obvious tourist destination you can see the Anglo-Saxon treasures of the Staffordshire Hoard at The Potteries Museum and Art Gallery here. There’s also the Wedgewood Visitor Centre full of artefacts, some dating back to Josiah Wedgewood – the man who started the pottery industry as we know it today.
