Electric grass pitch
Liked: Simple site with a friendly atmosphere/staff. Good park for the kids with clear view from all pitches. Relaxed feel.
Disliked: Gets very boggy when it rains. Grass is more like a field and grass cutting are not collected meaning you get loads of wet grass stuck to everything. Would be great if they could provide some sort of pizza/chippy/ice cream vans from external vendors.

Electric grass pitch
Liked: Good location, toilets and showers decent, friendly and relaxed. Will return.
Disliked: Ground is a bit uneven and a lot of grass to cover to get to the pitch, so a bit scary when wet, but managed to not get stuck!

Electric grass pitch
Liked: Layout of the site. We liked that the pitches were around the edge of a field with the play park in the centre. Pitches were level. Toilet block was mostly clean. Never had to queue for toilet or shower. Short walk from pitches to bins, water and toilets. Friendly site. Quiet, no road noise or noise from other campers late at night
Disliked: Some noise from the rail line but quickly got used to it. Had to pay £1 for 5 min shower. Not great when showering kids and having to keep an eye on clock. Cubicles could easily be made bigger for this too. Struggled with lack of space for drying/dressing. Having a bench/chair inside the cubicle would have been very useful. Small issues overall though, didn't spoil our weekend.

Liked: This site was spotlessly clean, the shower block and toilets were extremely clean too. The site is secure with a coded gated which shuts every evening. Short walk to Cannock chase, canal towpath and local pub which is very dog friendly.
Disliked: It isn’t really a dislike but you are close to the rail track so can hear trains go by but you soon get used to it and don’t even realise they’re going by.

Non-electric grass pitch
Liked: The site was very well maintained and the shower facilities were great. The pitch was level and I liked the rural setting.
Disliked: The railway line is close by but I didn’t really notice the noise from my pitch. It certainly didn’t keep me awake!

Liked: The shower/toilet blocks are very clean and of great quality. The showers are £1 for 5 minutes use but they are the best showers Iv ever used on a campsite so didn’t mind the charge. The kids play area is a good size and right in the middle of the camping field so it was really easy to keep an eye on my kids as they played. The grass is well kept and pitch size are good too.
Disliked: Electric tripped easily as it’s only 10amp. Other campsites at this price have 16amp. This isn’t a problem but it’s the only negative Iv got.

Non-electric grass pitch
Liked: The playground was great for the children and not largely noted on the website. The fishing ponds would be ideal for a camping fishing trip. It was 10 mins from Cannock Chase, ideal for biking and running. Friendly and helpful staff.
Disliked: Rail engineering works which woke us through the night with metal on metal hammering and power-tooling. Also didn’t like having to pay for the showers, noting the price of a non electric pitch is higher than average.

From the manager: Hi Edward, I am saddened to hear you had an unpleasant stay at our campsite. However unfortunately being next to a railway if they choose to do works on the rail at any given time there isn’t anything we can do about it, it can be as frustrating for you and much as us. The showers are stated that a charge is given for them, this isn’t because we want to charge for them it is simply because people leave them running constantly beforehand so we had no choice in but to put a charge on them so once the time runs out it stops. I can only recommend that you research the campsite before booking as you would have known we are close to a railway. I am happy to hear you thought our staff was helpful and friendly we do pride ourselves in customer service, we are on the outskirts of Cannock chase so ideal for walkers/bikers. We hope the railway hasn’t put you off staying with us again as I can assure you they don’t work on it every weekend. All the best Hollie
