Caravanners looking for accommodation close to the Alton Towers theme park may be pleased to know that the Camping and Caravanning Club has purchased the Star Caravan and Camping Park in Cotton.
The rural site in the heat of the Staffordshire Moorlands is just a mile-and-a-quarter from the popular family attraction and is home to 195 pitches.
As well as two full-operational toilet blocks, a laundrette, a chemical toilet disposal point and electric hook-up points, there’s also a large children’s play area and a parent and baby room.
Bob Hill, sites director at the Camping and Caravanning Club, said: “To secure a site in such a prime location and at the same time strengthen our ties within the Peak District and Derbyshire is another major coup for the club.”
Alton Towers opens for the 2011 season on March 26th, boasting numerous thrill rides, such as Nemesis, Oblivion and Thi3teen, as well as gentler family rides like the Congo River Rapids and the Runaway Mine Train.
