A Family Camping Road Trip in Staffordshire

  • 16th Feb 2018

Camping holidays can take you to explore all corners of the UK and are a great value option for individuals, couples, families or friendship groups. This road trip route round some of the main attractions in Staffordshire could be the perfect way to enjoy a short time away. Check out the campsite listings on this site to explore your accommodation options as you visit these following family-friendly attractions:

Peak District

You could start your adventure in the north of the county in the Peak District National Park, where there are almost endless options for outdoors exploration. Enjoy hikes, bike rides and delightful countryside views as you make your way between charming little villages.

Alton Towers

Head south from the Peak District to reach one of the UK's premier theme park attractions. This adventure park is home to a wide range of exciting rides and roller coasters and there is plenty to entertain kids (and big kids) of all ages.

Twycross Zoo

Animal lovers may be interested in a visit to this zoo, which houses the largest collection of monkeys and apes in the Western World. This is a 'World Primate Centre' and is certainly one of the best places in the UK to get to know some of our closest relatives in the animal kingdom.

Drayton Manor

This is another of the UK's main family attractions. This theme park includes a huge adventure playground with twelve rides based on Thomas the Tank Engine, indoor play options and parklands. Visiting this second theme park could also help to give kids a holiday to remember.

Weston Park

This lavish country house and highly regarded gardens offer a different sort of family day out. The grand mansion dates from the 17th Century and is surrounded by grounds designed by Capability Brown. There is also a restaurant and cafe where you can grab a bite to eat after exploring.

Shugborough Hall

Families can really engage with history at this preserved Georgian mansion house and estate. As well as the historic property, visitors can also enjoy costumed staff bringing history to life, period exhibits, garden trails and a farm.

Stafford

This historic town lies at the heart of the county and offers a number of attractions, foremost amongst which are the Stafford Castle, and the Ancient High House – a Tudor period museum with Edwardian shop, civil war room and Yeomanry collection.

These are, of course, just some of the many attractions that can be enjoyed in this part of England. On a camping road trip, you can discover far more than you might have imagined, in areas that may lie close to home.
