What customers say
This is a peaceful, back-to-basics campsite nestled in woodland, perfect for those seeking tranquility and nature. Visitors praise the freedom to choose pitches, the beautiful forest surroundings, and ample walking/cycling routes. While facilities are minimal, the site's natural setting and friendly wardens are highlighted. Some mention occasional noise from cyclists and the need for self-sufficiency.

Non-electric hardstanding and grass pitch
Liked I was pleasantly surprised with the site. Me and my lads only had a 1 night stay but it was still good. Went a trek through the woods also with head torches and the trail was nice a clear. Site itself was busy but everyone was respectful. We will come again. I also had a few question and spoke with Adam. He answered all of my question and was very helpful. Thanks Adam and thanks Tackeroo👍

Liked Pitch where you like
Beautiful trees and grass
Very quiet
Pitch black at night
Very private
Totally minimal and off grid style camping. Single amenity - water point and waste drain.
Fresh blackberries at the nearest bush!
Immediate access to Cannock cycling trails - Follow the Dog goes past the campsite.
Disliked Bit of noise in the evening from cars / motorbikes racing round the forest roads, but not too bad.

Non-electric hardstanding and grass pitch
Liked Beautiful site with the most scenic surroundings. Grass was cut well and looked after and there are a few facilities spotted around including drinking tap water, bins and disposal sinks.
In a lovely location with shops 10 mins away and lots of trails for walks and dogs.
Owners came round to check the site and were really polite and helpful.

Non-electric hardstanding and grass pitch
Liked Stayed for a night with my 2 kids in a tent. Plenty of room, fresh water and a waste disposal and that’s it! Perfect! Dead quiet except for the deer and the birds. Absolutely great spot right in the woods and right on the mountain bike trails. We had a great time 👍

Disappointing lack of details of the trails and where they lead.
Non-electric hardstanding and grass pitch
Liked Beautiful setting and very peaceful.
Disliked For somebody who does not know the area at all, it was very confusing to try to find a pub on our bicycles. There was no signal there to use and the pub telephone number was wrong so we couldn't phone the pub. We passed several other people who were also lost - families etc. It mentioned that the wardens would be around to help but there was nobody in sight and we were directed to the information cabin which we could not find also. It was only once we were on the main road at the bottom of the site that we saw a sign for this. It is such a shame as the woods were beautiful. Although it is a gated entrance with a lock it is clear that people can easily drive around the gate and have been doing so.

Will definitely come back
Non-electric hardstanding and grass pitch
Liked Very lovely site, clean and very friendly staff. Will definitely come back, very understanding with us entering late,
Disliked A mountain bike club situated right in front of our motorhome which was very unsettling as they were racing round the camp and the lady in charge of them was constantly shouting which was unnecessary, the elderly gentleman who was with her was very considerate and kept his voice low and the team could still hear him.
