  • Back to basics rural site in a peaceful Warwickshire meadow
  • Birmingham, Tamworth and Drayton Manor within half an hour's drive
  • A few minutes' walk from a farm shop
Set in a stunning meadow, Nightingales Rustic Camping is a back to basics site in Warwickshire with plenty of room between pitches and well-maintained communal toilet and shower facilities. There are designated spots where you can light up a fire as well (it doesn't get much more atmospheric than sitting together around flickering flames as the setting sun streams over the meadow…). Nightingales Rustic Camping is a few minutes' walk away from a farm shop where you can pick up a whole host of top-quality produce, and it's about a 10-minute drive to nearby Atherstone and its many amenities, which include a railway station, supermarket, restaurants and a leisure centre. Although this site is pleasingly rural in atmosphere, Nightingales Rustic Camping is in a very convenient location – Birmingham city centre, Drayton Manor Theme Park and the market town of Tamworth can all be reached by road in under half an hour.

Field stay non-electric grass and earth touring pitch

Liked: Perfect. This is proper rustic camping, pick a spot, make it your own, settle down and relax. Great welcome from the team, only wish I hadn't stocked up on food from home as the farm shop had some great cuts to cook up.

Disliked: No feedback for the team at Nightingales but a reminder for fellow campers. One bin bag, pack up your rubbish, leave it in the bins on your exit. So simple.

The Meadow non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch (no pets)

Liked: A very cosy campsite, the pitch was perfect. Plenty of space, it was quite busy when we stayed but even the closest people to us were still quite far away because of how big the campsite is. The staff were very friendly, and the farm shop is really good. The pitches were very level. Very close proximity to local shops and pubs. Really good facilities, and definitely value for money. Would stay again.

Field stay non-electric grass and earth tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked: - Pick your own pitch - The space, usually at other camp sites you are side by side but not here. - portaloo - farm shop - staff coming round to make sure you have enough wood for the night

Disliked: - The building where you wash and shower was not nice, this needs a refurb.

The Meadow non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch (no pets)

Liked: Big site 2-3 fields, which are separated into social/quieter areas. You can pick your own pitch which is a nice touch. Owners are very friendly, operate a shop in case you forget anything and go around in the evening asking if you want to buy firewood.

Disliked: Not a fan of the toilet, wash up and shower facilities and how many there are for the amount of pitches. Think they could do with a redesign and moved to the fields

Local attractions

There are heaps of options near Nightingales Rustic Camping for busy bees who want to stick to the local area. For a restorative round of the green, take yourself down to Atherstone Golf Club (10 minutes' drive); tiddlers who find the games there rather slow-paced for their liking can be taken to the town's swimming pool (10 minutes) instead. Also close by are Kingsbury Water Park (15 minutes) and Hartshill Hayes Country Park (15 minutes), where there are birds to spot, picnics to be had and a load of nature to take in. More outdoor jaunts can be had at Tamworth Castle (25 minutes), a fearsome Norman fortress overlooking the bustling market town. And don't feel that you have to eschew indoor times just because you're sleeping in the open air – the slopes of SnowDome indoor ski centre (25 minutes) and fab aquatic displays at the National Sea Life Centre (30 minutes) are not to be missed. Kids been on their best behaviour, or need an incentive to keep them that way? The promise of a trip to Drayton Manor Theme Park (25 minutes) should do the job.
