  • Touring pitches at a Staffordshire working farm with easy M6 access
  • A 10-minute drive to Stafford; 20 minutes to Cannock Chase
  • On-site café/ice cream parlour selling homemade Jersey-milk ice cream
There are many things to like about Red Lion Farm Touring Caravan Park, but it’s quite possible you’ll be sold simply with the phrase ‘homemade ice cream from the farm’s Jersey cows’… Yes indeed, this Staffordshire touring site is part of a working farm where the herd provides the milk that goes into the treats on sale in the on-site café/ice cream parlour, with at least 20 flavours to choose from (maybe you’ll need to stop by a few times?) There’s coffee and cake for sale in the café too if you need something to go alongside your ice cream (and local cheese, eggs, jams and pies to buy for later as well). Of course, you can’t live on ice cream and cake alone (although some would gladly try…) so it’s good to note that there’s much more to this place than just sweet treats. As it’s part of a working farm, you’ll also be able to spot animals around the place, including various rescued birds of prey at the owl sanctuary. The essentials are all sorted too, with access to a launderette and a toilet/shower block. There are several shops nearby as well as a couple of pubs serving food. There are some great walks nearby (and you’ll be allowed to bring your dog along to stay here too), plus a good bus service for when you’d like to roam further afield. Wide pitches provide easy manoeuvrability even for larger motorhomes, and access is straightforward from the M6 (junction 13 or 14) – that makes this a handy stopover point for longer journeys as well as a good base for a longer break.

Powered cement/asphalt and grass campervan campsite

Liked: Nice quiet site but plenty to see and do, loved the cafe/farm shop very reasonably priced, loved the variety of animals to visit and the show with the birds of prey, short walk to local shops and great villiage pub.

Disliked: Shared toilets and showers but not a big problem. Small holes in toilet doors bit of putting

Powered cement/asphalt and grass campervan campsite

Liked: The interaction with the animals and with it not being busy the quietness.

Disliked: Lack of signage for water points and waste and the grounds layout. Non heated shower facility. Shared showers in the same room as toilets which public have access to when the farm is open. Showers should be designated purely for tourers.

Powered cement/asphalt and grass campervan campsite

Liked: We liked the location, walking distance to dog friendly pub, chip shop and convenience store. Pub staff were very friendly but be sure to book as it gets very busy. Secure pitch, gate locked at 4pm so felt very safe. Decent sized pitch, plenty of room to park the car. Large array of animals on site, especially liked the pygmy goats as they were very friendly and made the whole experience more exciting and different. Cafe on site was nice, enjoyed homemade cake and coffee and the locally sourced Jesery milk ice cream looked lovely. The shop on site was well stocked with necessities such as free range eggs and toys for kids.

Disliked: Toilets were very unclean, no toilet roll at 9am and didn't like the unisex aspect. Didn't see the toilets or wash facilities get cleaned during our stay.

From the manager: our toilets are cleaned twice a day once in the mornings at 10.30 when all caravans are due to leave once at 4.30 once our shop is closed so when you said... Didn't see the toilets or wash facilities get cleaned during our stay. what you didn't say was you was only here for one night if you arrived after 4.30 and you Departure time is 10.30 then you wouldn't. there was only 3 van on on your one night stay so i cant see that you frond the toilets unclean yes they are tired but not unclean , each of the toilets have a commercial roll holder on the wall this holds 2 large rolls when the roll is empty you slid the next one along,

The site is lovely .. the owner friendly the cake and coffee…

Powered cement/asphalt and grass campervan campsite

Liked: What an amazing place, really nice and quiet. Beautiful scenery in the morning waking up to farm animals. Fabulous shower that gets nice and warm and free to use. Local to the shops. The owner what a friendly man came over to check that we had settled in ok. Definitely would stay here again and recommend.

Disliked: It’s a little bit I know, and may be out of the owners control and every council is different. But, there’s just 1 bin which is general waste. Where I would like to have recycled my rubbish. But, again this may be out of the owners control.

Powered cement/asphalt and grass campervan campsite

Liked: The site was amazing. The staff were very friendly. The site is easily accessible and the facilities were clean and tidy. The showers had great power and heat. The pitch was flat and easy to set up on and the view of the Pygmy goats were my daughter’s favourite bit. There was a really good amount of space between the pitches and the site isn’t to busy. We even had good signal (21st century problem I know). Definitely coming back to stay.
