  • 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 campsite is praised for its beautiful views, peaceful atmosphere, and friendly, helpful owners. Facilities, particularly showers and toilets, are consistently described as very clean and well-maintained. The presence of alpacas and other animals is a significant highlight for many visitors. The on-site cafe receives positive mentions for its food and reasonable prices. Some guests note the distance to the facilities and the bumpy access road as minor drawbacks, but overall, the site is highly recommended for its value and tranquil rural setting.

Letitia M.

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked The site is beautiful and well kept. The cafe at the reception was very well stocked and had a number of items. The toilets are very well looked after and clean. There is a drinking water tap on the campsite. They also have horses, geese and ducks, as well as three very large lakes. The alpacas were a highlight for me and you can also feed them using food purchased from the cafe for just £1. The staff are also very friendly :)

Disliked Only thing was the toilets being a little far from the campsite, in the daytime it's fine but at night it can be quite difficult, the hill getting back up might also cause problems for those with a physical disability.

Tracey G.

Non-electric hardstanding and grass motorhome pitch

Liked Quiet site, very relaxed, pitch anywhere. Lovely views over surrounding area.
Toilet/shower block was immaculate - seemed to be someone cleaning constantly. Very friendly staff. Nice dog walk around the fishing lakes. Free WiFi around reception building, not on campsite.

Disliked It’s a bumpy drive in with little passing space, fine if you go slowly.
Steep track down to reception and showers/toilets. Good workout walking back up! Ok if you’ve got on board facilities.

Would definitely stay again.

Liked Easy check in. Great views. Clean facilities and a very good price. There is a bit of a walk to the facilities but I don’t feel this is a deal breaker. Beautiful Alpacas on site as well and a nice looking little cafe.

Darren B.

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked All was good overall, and I will definitely be staying again. The views are excellent from the campsite. The shower and toilets were very clean and very acceptable.

Disliked I arrived around 7.30pm and struggled with space for my tent (One man). It appeared that other guests had taken liberties with their allowed space. Perhaps this needs an eye keeping on it.

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).
