  • 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

Great views, peaceful vibe, and super friendly owners. Showers and loos are spotless. Alpaca encounters are a big hit! Cafe's good and fairly priced. A few found the loos a bit of a trek and the road rough, but it’s ace value and a lovely, quiet escape.

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.

Unpowered grass tent or trailer tent site

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.

Unpowered concrete and grass motorhome site

Liked • Small, quiet camping field above
fishing lakes
• Good grass path around
perimeter for dog walking
• Grass kept short
• Elevated views
• The price

Disliked • No bins on camping field - bit of a
steep walk to nearest bins which
were full and overflowing.
• Didn't affect us as we were self
contained, but the loos and
showers are quite a walk down
(and up!) a steep gravelly hill, so
worth bearing in mind if you have
mobility issues.

Chris R.

Unpowered grass tent or trailer tent site

Liked Everything about the place is top notch. Staff are very friendly and the facilities are brilliant, showers work and are clean. I’ve stayed here 3 times with my son for weekends fishing and every time we leave he asks when we can go back. Always pop in for a toastie in the morning before we go fishing to get pellets/bait and food to feed the alpacas later in the day. Cheap prices for pegs, especially if you are camping. The camping site itself is in a great location, a short walk to any pool you want to fish, with a great view of nearby town. Staff will tackle any issue you have eg other people camping being loud at unreasonable hours. Fishing is great, never not caught and have had days where I couldn’t sit down without my or my son’s rod going with another fish on the line. Never used the WiFi as I’ve never had to but I do believe there is some in the cafe/reception area but mobile/5G connection is strong anyway.

Disliked Not applicable!!

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).
