Here is a bit of information about our site and what is in the area..


As you have possibly been made aware... We have Fresh Water point, Elsan Dump... (Grey water goes on any tree`s or bushes..) We try to recycle as much as possible, there is a general bagged waste bin by the main gate, and a bin for Bottles/Cans/recyclable plastic and paper & Cardboard bin by the Tea-Shed...


There is a Campers WC/washroom.. (Unisex) which is cleaned twice a day...


We have a Tea shed which from 7am till approx 9am is open for early birds for a free cuppa Tea or Coffee, seating outside, just bring your own cup`/mugs... Help yourselves, but please take care the tea Urn sides get very hot..


Also in the tea shed is a fridge for guests use...


We ask that you use concrete blocks.bricks (Which we have)  for on ground and disposable Bar-B-Q`s, so as NOT to scorch the grass..


We are on our own private sewage system and ask that "Elsan Blue" "Wet Wipes and "Sanitary Aids" are not used in your Cassette or put down the toilet as it upsets our system..


There are a couple of nice walks in the area across fields... and there is a Cycleway/Pathway into Stafford along the old railway line... Out of our gate a and turn left and walk to the first road on the left which is Station Road... walk down there a short way and you will come across the old railway line, turn right which will take you into Stafford (4 Miles)... turn left and that will take you to  the next village "Gnosall".. again approx 4 mile...


Just up the road from us 2 minute walk on the other side of the road is the "Shropshire Arms" Pub/Restaurant.... the food is highly recommended... but a little pricey...... on up through the village of Haughton is "The Bell Inn".. meals are also served here.... but we have been told it has been done up modern and has no atmosphere..


In the village is a Convenience store/Post Office/Off license also a family Butcher and a ladies Hair Salon.... opposite these is an independent Motorcycle dealer..


Outside and a short walk from our gate is a bus stop which will take you into  the County town of Stafford or the other way to Gnoswall - Newport or Telford.. The bus is a number (5).. and runs frequently. Every half hour weekdays  (Please ask us regarding bus Time table...)


In the next village to us (Gnosall) are two Chinese and one Fish & Chip shop.... both Chinese deliver to our site for a small fee..


Also in the village of Gnosall are two nice Pub/Restaurants alongside the canal.. "The Navigation Inn" and "The Boat"... we have eaten at the Navigation Inn and the food was quite good and basic...


Nice walks along the canal are here...


Close to us is the old ruin of Stafford castle and grounds, numerous other attractions within a short drive away including The Stafford Show Ground...


Dogs are very welcome, and there are two dog poo pits either end of the field, and just by the white gate to the field is a pooper scooper, all other dog waste to be bagged and deposited in general rubbish (Green Wheelie Bin) by the main gate...


The nearest Doctors Surgery is in the next village "Gnosall"......... There is a Vet`s for Pets surgery approx 3 miles away on the left before you get to the town of Stafford..


We do NOT have EHU`s but do have two (2) Honda whisper quiet Generators for any one requiring a battery top up... just pay for fuel used.. Generators (Quiet) are allowed... within reason and thought for other campers... between 9am and 7pm...


We do have a 40ft x 20ft Marquee.... but this needs 10 - 12 strong men to erect and take down.... also a smaller one which only needs 4 persons to erect..


We can run an extension lead from our premises should you need for CD player/radio or speaker system..


Our reduced fee for Rally`s is £6-00 per unit per night...


All that remains is for myself and Judy to wish you all a pleasant and memorable stay at "Weston Croft Camping"


Should you need any other information... Please ask...


Regards

Maurice & Judy

Just spent a lovely few days at Old mo's, the grounds are lovely.  Judy and a Maurice are looking forward to meeting you all.  Just a reminder please be aware that they are on septic tank so please arrive with no  chemicals and no wipes to be used thanks in advance.. Weather is hopefully looking good.  We have the use of a small marquee if we want it if numbers increase we shall be putting it up.  If not we have our large pop up we can meet in.  We have the use of a fire pit so if you can bring some  wood with you it all helps.  . .

No news on the driving licence yet John?

No Ken, as been going on since January. Getting intouch again next week. If no answer I will have to see  about contacting someone to get it sorted. The van is due for it's MOT next month. If it runs out it will cause problems when I do get it back. 
It looks like you and Adele are having a great time touring about.
Looking forward to catching with you soon.

Hope everyone is feeling well this morning at Haughton, that Sangria looked serious stuff with all those spirits that were being tipped into it.
Thanks all for making us welcome on our day visit yesterday, it was nice to be able to get out of the house and have a chat with friends.
Hopefully I will be back to driving when Bakewell comes round so wil catch up with some of you there.
Dave.

Fingers crossed for you John, hope you hear something soon.
Are you without licence as well Dave?
How's the meet going? Hope your all having a great weekend

No Ken, licence all ok. Had a inguinal hernia operation last Tuesday and can’t drive for a at least a week but then depends if I can do an emergency stop without any pain.
Dave.

Hi Ken Dave and John our weekend is  nearly over   the weather has been Brill till this morning but brightened up for this  afternoon.   We have had a good time enjoying the sunshine and the company. Oh plus we  enjoyed the sangria which lasted two days lol.
We have been into Stafford visited the high house museum the gothic anglian church  ,  picture house wetherspoons and numerous charity shops.  Oh and McDonald's for an ice-cream treat.  Others here have walked the disused railway to Gnosall,  visited the ice-cream parlour and farm in Haughton.  Think Ken and Tony enjoyed the beer In the pub over the road.  Old Mo and wife Judy have made us very welcome it's a gem of a site which will be sadly missed when they finally close on the 1st of June 
.

Hi Everyone, Had a really excellent time at Old Mo's the weekend the site was fantastic (thanks Morris & Judy, hope i got your name correct Mo) the food and drink (rocket Fuel) were spot on and the gentle 2 mile walk that nearly killed me.. all added upto a superb weekend..cant wait now for the Bakewell bash...   thanks everyone for making us so welcome...
