When Can I Arrive / Have To Depart?

Earliest 2pm on arrival and no later than 12 noon on departure.

Can I Bring A Commercial Vehicle?

We do not permit commercial vehicles on the pitches. If you must come in one, it can be parked at the bottom car park.

Where Am I Going?

Our address is Marbury Camp and Lodge, Mount Pleasant, Hollyhurst Road, Marbury, Whitchurch, SY13 4LY.  If you just go to the post code, you will end up at Grange Farm (wedding venue), which is about a kilometre down the road.

We would therefore suggest following the Google Maps link below.

Hollyhurst Road does have passing places for caravans, but we would suggest that for ease of access you enter from the north, through the village of Wrenbury (CW5 8HG). You can also stop off at the small local village shop to stock up on supplies.

Where Do I Sign In?

We are only a small site so there is no formal signing in process. It’s all done before you arrive. Should you need us, just call 01948 50 22 50.

Otherwise, just get set up, feet up and a brew on.

What Pitch Am I On?

All pitches, whether for glamping, camping or caravans/motorhomes are through the gate and up the field.

The first pitches on your right are for glamping pods. We will let you know beforehand which pod you are staying in.

For campers, caravanners and motorhomers (not sure that’s a word), follow the road to the top of the site. Caravans and motorhomes to the right. Camping is in the field on the left of the road. Please maintain a 6m gap between all units.

At present we do not allocate pitches/pitch numbers. If you are in a tourer (caravan, motorhome, trailer tent or camper) please choose a free pitch in front of the loo block. If you’re camping, pick anywhere in the field to the left, across the road from the tourer pitches. We’re a tiny site, so if you ask us to pitch together with another family, we would simply recommend that you arrive early and see what spaces are available. We will send you a reminder of where you can pitch the day before you arrive by email.
