  • Peaceful site set over 20 acres 10 minutes' drive from Stourbridge
  • Half an hour from the West Midland Safari Park and Cadbury World
  • Family- and dog-friendly site with three large fishing lakes
Rods at the ready, folks – Wassell Grove Camping and Caravanning is rather more than a mere place to lay your head for the night… this 20-acre site also happens to be one of the West Midlands’ finer choices for a spot of fishing. Not one, not two but a generous three lakes await your bait here, with carp (often in excess of a hefty 10lb), bream and roach among the critters you may hook from the waters. Eager anglers should find plenty to keep them happy here, but there are also areas suitable for beginners… perhaps it’s time to start instructing the nippers in the fine art of fishing? And if you fancy staying here but have pretty much zero interest in fishing? That’s completely fine: non-rod-wielders are equally welcome to stay here and enjoy the peaceful woodland surrounds, perhaps using the place as a base for some lovely local hikes or family days out (Cadbury World and West Midland Safari Park, both less than half an hour away, would be good places to start on that front). Eats can be had throughout the day at the site’s own café (with both hot and cold dishes on the menu) or you can get the coals stoked on your barbecue; supermarkets are 10 minutes away in Stourbridge for supplies. Hagley, a few minutes’ drive from the site, has a couple of pubs for pints and meals out.

What customers say

This is a friendly, quiet campsite with lovely views, renowned for its alpacas and fishing lakes. Clean facilities and good value are frequently praised. The walk to the toilets and showers, particularly the uphill return, is a recurring point, as is the bumpy access road. Despite these minor drawbacks, many visitors express a desire to return.

Trevor T.

Non-electric hardstanding and grass motorhome pitch

Liked Booking was simple and communication with Julie was excellent. We made a special request and were pleasantly accommodated.
Showers and toilets were clean and the water for the showers was warm and temperature was adjusted easily.
The surrounding area with a pleasant walk round the three lakes was beautiful. The Al Pacas were a joy to see. If you like fishing you can do so at the lakes, though there naturally is an additional fee.

We stayed for two nights at the end of January 2026 in a campervan and the cost for two people was £16 per night, and an additional tent for one at a cost of £8 per night. We though this was a fantastic price for the pitch.

Chemical and grey water disposable facilities are available as was the need for water if needed.

All in all, we had a wonderful stay bearing in mind it is January when we stayed.

One thing to bear in mind is accessing the toilets and showers, you do have a small but steep incline, though if one has a mobility issue, and if you have a vehicle, you can drive to the shower/toilet block.

Disliked When you come off the main road do be careful of the road, as it has some deep potholes, not the responsibility of the owners of the fishing and campsite.

From the manager: Very kind of you and we hope your trip around the UK, goes very well. Hope to see you all again in the future.

Liked A hidden gem of a site and wonderful staff.
They couldn’t have been anymore welcoming, accommodating, helpful and friendly.
Lovely site with clean facilities, just where we needed to stay overnight for a local event.
Nice and quiet.
Great views.
Even owls in the woods to help you sleep well.
We had a wonderful warm breakfast and fed the cheeky Alpacas.
We will try and find an excuse to come back and stay in better weather to enjoy properly.

Local attractions

Want to stretch your legs (perhaps after sitting by the lake for a lengthy period of time)? The friendly folk on site can point you towards the best places locally for a long walk or a short stroll: a perennial fave around these parts is the Wyre Forest National Nature Reserve – once you’ve seen it from ground level you can take a gander from on high by screaming along the ziplines at the Go Ape adventure park. If you like your outings to make you feel a bit clever, take in a bit of local history with visits to Hagley Hall (five minutes’ drive), the rock houses at Kinver Edge or the Black Country Living Museum (25 minutes). Each one aims to bring its own slice of history to life, so tour all three for an excellent insight into how people lived in the past. Learn about the natural world instead at the West Midland Safari Park (25 minutes away): there are walk-through and drive-through animal exhibits here, along with animatronic dinosaurs and theme park rides for when it’s time to take a break. Sweet-toothed guests also mustn’t miss out on a trip to the chocolate-themed extravaganza that is Cadbury World (25 minutes).
