  • 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 value, quiet with helpful staff. Lovely views, clean facilities & resident alpacas are a hit! Good stopover. Road in is bumpy, amenities a short walk, some pitches close. Highly recommended, many return.

Primitive cement/asphalt and grass RV campsite

Liked The hosts were friendly and really helpful. The camping spaces overlook the lakes which is a wonderful view. The alpacas are really cute and you can feed them! We loved our time in this place and will come back in the future. Thank you!

Primitive cement/asphalt and grass RV campsite

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.

Primitive cement/asphalt and grass RV campsite

Liked Very friendly and helpful staff, I arrived in the dark with pouring rain yet the lady still came out before I’d even got out the van and was full of welcome.
It’s close to all the attractions or a great pitstop if passing through or stopover for work. I had a non electric pitch but such a great price, will definitely use again as a night stopover for work.

Disliked Nothing really to dislike, it is a walk down to toilets-showers but it’s only a few minutes walk. You will need a torch as it’s only lit on the main building but again this takes nothing away from the stay (if you’re here to camp you’ll have one with you anyway!) yes the driveway is a little bumpy but drive to the 5mph speed you’ll be ok!

Primitive cement/asphalt and grass RV campsite

Liked Nothing special, a field and some hardstanding.

Disliked Very poor communication: didn't reply to question re location of toilet block (arrived @ 6.00pm in dark). Didn't advise that main gate would be 'locked shut', we had gone out, luckily we got taxi, if we had gone in campervan we wouldn't have got back in!
Very bumpy track to campsite.

From the manager: Extremely annoying remarks. You know full well that we missed your message by accident and a I phoned you next morning to apologise. You are supposed to check in by visiting our reception before pitching up and you didn't. Our campsite signs direct you to reception and stipulates what to do before pitching up. Our checking in time is 8pm. We always provide the gate code to all customers when checking in. Not sure what you expect as far as a campsite goes (gold plated signs and lamp posts, maybe).

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).
