Somewhere to "wild camp" in the van near Chester

Need to be in Chester (specifically Saltney) early tomorrow for an appointment.

Anyone know of a decent, hassle free spot where I could park up for the night?

Cheers in advance….

Little Roodee car park.
Couple of quid for the night, perfectly legit and the right side of town for Saltney.

As the Captain said, plus Hickorys BBQ is a short walk away if your into that.

Blacon is pretty wild at night.

If you see a big, all black VW T5 with German plates give us a wave…

Cheers!

No it doesn’t, that’s what it says but I’ve never seen it closed or locked (waits for sod’s law to kick in).
It’s also just around the corner from the Brewery Tap, great food, great beer and the staff are the best.
Off Castle Drive.

Off the A55, heading from chester, opposite British aerospace factory

Couple of hundred yards from the welsh border, lovely views, curlews, marsh harriers, sea air – perfect

Truck stop, 6 quid on Broxton roundabout, A41, 8 miles from Chester though.

Chester zoo car park.

Cheers guys, especially Marcus…!

Unfortunately our plans have changed and we need to spend another night in Preston… Tomorrow will be a long day….

Commander – you do know what happens at Broxton at night don’t you?

I’m not convinced you can call sleeping in a van ‘wild camping’. But whatever floats your boat.

camping at broxton will certainly rock your boat

Down the road in Caia Park is pretty wild, too ;)

Olly, yep Broxton is the infamous dogging centre of this area, or rather it was – the car park there has been taken over by someone or other and now has all night security, chanrges £6 a pop to stay, all the tree cover has gone and the doggers have moved on.
We’re only down the road and glad to see it changed, driving past some nights it was ridiculous (especially on the third time we passed…).
That said – they moved to the golf course over the road for a while, that was worse, running down the golf tracks late one evening I was met by two males in a scene that lives with me til this day.
I’ve had all the obvious hole in one etc jokes so don’t bother…..

Wow…. I love STW!

Don’t tell them that!

Someone from here will come along in their Mazda Bongo and start going on about how much better value their van was.

But you went back how many times?

Oh on the third time we pulled in and stayed……

Commander: what’s the Egerton Arms like now? I remember going there as a little lad with M&D on Boxing Day when we lived in Handley – it was always packed and great fun.
Not been for about 20 years I guess!

What a lovely, lovely,pleasant place Chester is…. Spent the day getting lost down the alley ways. Quite a contrast compared to Blackpool the day before!

Cheers for your help guys!

sharkbait, it will have changed since your last visit then, weve lived here 17 years and remember it as a family pub place and its all gastropub now, very nice though ~ a warm welcome and ace food. Best bit is its within a 20 minute stumble of the house. absolutely chokka most the time so must be doing something right.
