What visitors say
5 star and recommended !! Great location and lovely views from the site. Staff are very friendly and helpful. The toilets are very clean, along with the very spacious and modern showers which are cleaned on a regular basis. The bell tents are also very spacious. I stayed last week with my two children and came back a week later as we were so impressed. It was a lot better than a lot of campsites which we have previously stayed on. Excellent value for money too! We will certainly be coming back too!!!

Campsite good Toilets bad We went August bank holiday weekend with a group of families with young kids. Lots of space as there were a lot of groups so many tents were close together in groups creating lots of open space. 10/10. The shop was good and the temporary facilities they’d created were good. Apart from the toilets. For men there were 3 urinals and 2 toilets. They didn’t work well and became a state. It’s a shame as the rest of the site was good. We’re unsure if we’ll come again because of this. We may come on a normal weekend hoping it’ll be less busy than a bank holiday one. I hope they sort it out for next year and detail this on their website. One extra block would sort it out.

What a great pop up campsite! Cannock Chase just across the road, pizza van serving delicious wood fired pizza Friday and Saturday evenings, pop up shop with food essentials and lots of camping equipment at reasonable prices. Porta cabin showers were fabulous, the toilets do get a bit messy especially as it was raining, and the chemical smell is a bit strong, but everything cleaned regularly. The space is amazing, 2 huge fields, fresh water taps, chemical loo disposal, electric hook ups available and wash up sinks with warm water! All the team were so friendly and welcoming from booking through to being on site. We will be back. Great for groups and anyone looking for some peace and quiet as space is so big.

Great campsite with super friendly staff. We had an issue with one of our tents and staff onsite helped fixed the poles. Showers had lovely hot water and toilets well kept. Woodford pizzas were really good and loads of space for family groups. Will be going again for sure. A*
