Umberslade Estate

The space, the toilet/washing facilities were very modern and clean....however that was likely to be because there was only 1 other tent/family on site the same time we were there. Outdoor play areas good for little ones (my little boy is 8 and still had fun, however I don't think I'd stay any longer than 2 nights) I think the indoor play barn should be included in pitch price (it was a bit too young for my son but if you have younger children this could be a great option but it is quite pricey for just an hours play, on top of pitch fees)

Price. Seems slightly pricey especially given the time of year and no electric hook up..... maybe why there was only us and 1 other tent despite it being mild and half term? If it were busier, having only 2 showers may be an issue.

Great location for visiting Birmingham, NEC in particular.
Very clean toilet/shower/wash up block.
Fairly flat grass field with no mud to pitch on.
Attractive estate with very nice on site coffee shop.

No tap available to top up campervan water tank (a tap was available next to the wash up area, but there is no way to get a campervan close enough to use it to top up the tank).
No Chemical Disposal Point.
Grass very long in camping field.
Only 2 showers for whole campsite (not a problem during our visit as we ere alone for 2 of nights we stayed).
No EHU option (not a problem for us due to onboard solar/batteries).
Wash up area very good, but water only very warm not hot.
Wash up area flooring is polished concrete and very slippery when wet.
Overall very nice site, but too expensive given lack of water/EHU option/CDP for campervans.

No one else was there!

Would have been useful for there to be signs to camp ground.

Only 1 other van so very peaceful overnight stop (some early farm related activity).
Clean toilet block (although automatic lights failed to work in gents).
Clearly lots of investment has taken place but not focussed on motorhome facilities as yet.
Didn't use WiFi if it was available (no info provided)

Very expensive given lack of facilities.
No waste disposal.
No obvious shower facility or water tap (I couldn't ring to check where they were as no signal).

We really liked the play area for our 7 year old (and 15 year old who took him). The site was very spacious and peaceful - especially during the evening when day visitors had left.
The shower facilities were modern and very clean, with a shower cubicle, toilet and space to get dressed. Unfortunately there were only 2, which wasn’t a problem for us as we only shared the site with one other group - but I can see it being more of an issue with more campers. There were plenty of toilets and an outdoor washing up area, all of which were clean.
We had pizzas on out final night, which were lovely. Locals collect pizzas from here into the evening, so expect cars in and out until around 9pm. This didn’t bother us.
We really enjoyed our weekend here and would recommend it to families as there’s plenty to keep the kids entertained. We’ll definitely go back.

Only 2 showers - but that wasn’t a problem for us.
Neither like nor dislike - this isn’t a camping only site. It is also open to day guests to Umberslade estate - as well as parties and groups in their function rooms.

Lovely shower and toilet and washing up facilities block, all new and clean, lovely grand entrance road and you can come in and out whenever you need. Would definitely stay again if we were in the area and in need of a stay over with facilities. There is also a coffee shop and pizzeria if you need all on site. Also a great childrens play area and childrens farm on site. Not great mobile reception but to be expected in the middle of nowhere. However I could watch Netflix after being patient :-) Unknown if there was Wi-Fi so assuming not

Absolutely nothing!
