Liked: This is the second time we have stayed at Charlie Bassett's campsite and it won't be the last. The pitch sizes are very generous, providing ample room for vehicles, awnings and outdoor furniture. The facilities are excellent and clean and the pub provides fantastic food. The surrounding area is extremely picturesque, set in a beautiful part of rural Staffordshire. The campsite is kept extremely clean and is well maintained.

Liked: We had a lovely stay on this campsite. All the staff were friendly and very helpful. The guy who owned it always came to talk to us to see if all was OK and told us a few places to go to.
Disliked: The food options were not great as they had changed their menu. And the only other thing was they only had one toilet and one shower but apart from that all was good.
