Riverside camping near Stockport

·

In Stockport, river camping puts you right on the water’s edge—think wild swimming in clear streams and waking up to birdsong. With over 40 river-focused sites, you’ll find everything from peaceful woodland pitches to spots beside lively canals. Top picks include The White Lodge (33 reviews), Great Haywood Canalside Campsite (31 reviews), and Little Ranch Glamping (8 reviews). Facilities usually cover toilets and showers, and most allow campfires for evenings by the riverbank. Travellers come for wildlife-watching, swimming, and miles of hiking. Prices average £130 per night, but you can pitch up for as little as £17. Bring your wellies and a torch—the best river spots do get muddy, but that’s half the fun.

Guests to Rhos y Gallt describe the campsite as a little gem of a site - small, quite and tranquil with wonderful sunsets. The site can accommodate up to 5 caravans and 10 tents situated ​on a level 2 acre site within the beautiful rolling hills of Montgomeryshire in Mid Wales. There are hard standing pitches with electric hook-up as well as grass pitches with and without electric hook-up. There is also a field bordering a river which is used for wild camping - but you'll have to share it with the sheep! The toilet block has a family wet room with shower, toilet, wash hand basin and baby changing unit, a separate toilet, shower and kitchen area with freezer. The site borders a river meadow where visitors can wonder down and take a walk down with the river bank, relax by the water edge, throw a few skimmers, do a spot of fishing or even go wild water swimming (at your own risk!). ​Well behaved dogs are welcome (maximum 2 per unit). ​We were delighted to receive a nomination for The Camping and Caravanning Club Best Hideaway Site in 2021 and grateful to our wonderful guests for the nomination. ​

There's a variety of pubs and restaurants within a short drive, and the market towns of Rugby and Market Harborough area about 20 minutes away. Unwind in the hot tub, enjoy local beers and ciders or pick from our expertly curated wine list. Our Lodges have their own fire pits and BBQs, and all fuel is provided. Each lodge has its own hammock, and a designated private fishing peg at a turning point in the canal, meaning that you'll be largely undisturbed by passing boats.
