  • Peaceful dog-friendly motorhome site for adults and children over 14
  • A 35-minute drive to Cannock Chase Forest; 30 minutes to Drayton Manor
  • Barbecues permitted and stall selling eggs on site; rural walks nearby
Partial to peaceful picnics and pedals along a former railway track? Or perhaps hilltop ruins, followed by a swing around the treetops in Cannock Chase Forest? You’ll be primed for such a stay at The Cottage Motorhome Park. Three miles from Stafford Castle and 35 minutes’ drive from Cannock Chase Forest, this dog-friendly site may be tiny, but it has a mighty load of peace. This is rural Staffordshire, so very little will disturb you here, unless you count the birds that visit the site’s mature trees (a nice source of shade, by the way). Mornings might start the sunny side up here, literally, as the site has a wooden stall selling eggs at the entrance to the site and you’ll have permission to get them frying on a barbecue if you wish. Perhaps you’ll want to practise your game face too, as the site has a well-equipped games room available. When you’re ready to venture off site, there are cycles along an old railway line on the 14-mile Stafford Greenway, picnicking galore at the Stafford Castle’s hilltop ruins or many an eatery in Stafford, all within 10 minutes’ drive of the site. Should you rather let the food come to you, there are takeaways that deliver to the site. That way, you can spend your waiting time freshening up in the toilets or shower block, taking the dog around the dog walking field or even squeezing in a quick rural walk.

Local attractions

Get your pedal on, because there are cycle-easy spots in Cannock Chase Forest (35 minutes’ drive). Whether you’ve got your own bicycle or you’re making use of the bike hire there, you’ll have your pick of leisurely forest routes and slightly madder mountain biking courses for those of you who are more seasoned. Plus, you’ll also have the choice to take to the treetops on the Go Ape courses, in real monkey style. While animals are on your brain, Amerton Farm (25 minutes) will bring you right up close, as the farm runs alpaca and reindeer experiences. Other businesses call the site home and that includes a pottery studio and yoga studio. Along similar lines, Stafford Showground (20 minutes) is a multi-purpose venue that will surely get the party going with events throughout the year. Two top spots to keep up the pace are Drayton Manor Theme Park (half an hour) and Alton Towers (50 minutes), and those of you are craving somewhere a little more regal to wind down after all the thrills of the rides may find just the place in Shugborough Hall (25 minutes), a Georgian mansion house and walled garden.

Joe M.

Powered grass and gravel RV campsite

Liked Great toilet and shower facilities, on a par with en-suite facilities at most hotels. The games room was awesome, if I was there for more than 1 night, it would have been good to mix with the other campers.
There are laundry facilities available at reasonable cost, which was an unexpected bonus. I will definitely visit again.

Disliked The ground was pretty wet, and I had to reverse 30m or so along the gravelled bed into the pitch to avoid churning up the grass, which was a bit difficult in the dark. Pitch 1 is a long way from the EHU point, but I just moved to pitch 2. Neither issues were a major problem, just little niggles.
