General Comments

The Cotton Arms campsite in Wrenbury is quite a large site. There are 2 large fields where you can take your tent / campervan or caravan. I'm not sure if the price fluctuates throughout the season, but we paid £8 per tent per night without electricity which I thought was reasonable.
The village is very small but pretty, the canal runs right through, there is a gift shop and restaurant by the canal. If you need food supplies, you have to go to the village post office which is in the opposite direction of the canal (past the cotton Arms, well within walking distance.)
The only thing I would suggest is take breakfast supplies (we foolishly didn't and ended up having to wait for the pub to open at 12) We thought we could get a big breakfast from the cotton arms but didn't notice it on the menu (Not sure if this was because it was bank hol and it may be to busy to do a breakfast) Anyway, we all ended up eating things like fish and chips, or duck for breakfast, but is was lovely. The average price for a meal in the Cotton Arms is about £10 per head.
The pub on the corner by the canal looks lovely, we had a couple of drinks, but did not sample the food, it is mostly restaurant food, although there was a small selection of cold sandwiches too.
My only gripe about this place is that there is only 1 toilet and 1 shower block to serve the whole site, which I can imagine in the height of summer can get a little smelly and messy. During pub hours you can use the pub toilets (12-11). There isn't anywhere in the toilet to plug hair straighners or hair dryers in girls, so do be warned if you have booked without electric!
Another word of warning, you are not supposed to use BBQ's unless they are gas, this is mentioned in the rules, although we only had a normal one which we used, but nothing was said by the owner, another couple mentioned that they had been told off the previous night tho for having a charcoal one.
