What customers say
A peaceful, rustic camping vibe, often compared to wild camping. Praised for spacious pitches, campfires, clean facilities, and friendly owners. Some note uneven fields. Occasional camper noise and wet-weather access challenges mentioned.

Lovely back to basics site.
Primitive grass campervan campsite
Liked Lots of room to set up and still be in your own area, a beautiful site that's back to basics but perfect for what we were looking for. The Lock pub was just around the corner and was lovely as well as a beautiful woodland.

Beautiful peaceful wild campsite
Primitive grass campervan campsite
Liked Beautiful place, looking forward to coming again. There were lots of portaloos spread out across site and kept nice and clean. Huge space was perfect for kids to run around. Great brick fire pit the kids built to enjoy at night. Hosts were brilliant and very helpful.
Disliked Can't get into woods alongside campsite but we found a great walk exploring along canals instead.

From the manager: Hi
Glad you enjoyed your stay
The woods to the one side are not accessible however the woods on the other side offer 15 acres to explore all owned and private by the CGC farm
Sorry this was not explained to you during your stay , the blue bells were out and many paths to explore as well as fire wood to collect if wanted also the woods will lead to canal ,
We will make signs more visible and make sure our guests are properly informed, sorry you were not , if you come again we shall bundle up some fresh wood and eggs for you
Kind regards
CGC

Just a simple campsite - perfect
Primitive grass campervan campsite
Liked Our favourite sort of campsite, quiet, simple and relaxed. Huge sloping field with woods either side, pitch wherever you want. Loos and taps are spaced at intervals along the field, you can walk to the canal if you go through the gate on the right of the site and walk through the woods. From there you can walk along the canal all the way to Kidderminster- incredibly picturesque. The Lock pub is worth a stop for food, only a few minutes walk. Sit and watch the narrow boats travelling through the lock itself. We had a wonderful weekend!
Disliked Nothing!

Liked We really enjoyed our stay at Castle Gate Campsite. The atmosphere was very peaceful, and the area was lush and green. The restrooms were conveniently located, clean, and there were enough of them. There was also plenty of water available. Overall, we were very satisfied with our experience.

Quiet, clean & peaceful ‘wild camping’ like site!
Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite
Liked Great location for a peaceful few days away!
Really quiet location that’s tucked away from main roads and any loud traffic. We spent 2 nights and had no disturbances the entire time!
Toilet facilities really clean and well maintained, along with access to running water which came in handy.
After we arrived someone drove down to us to check us in, after that we didn’t hear anything from anyone, closest I’ve come to wild camping on a site!
100% will be returning! Dog loved it and so did we!

Wonderful wild-style campsite, couldn't recommend more.
Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite
Liked A lovely lovely campsite, set in a really nice valley. Met the owner last night and she was really lovely and helpful. It’s a basic site with just portacabins and freshwater taps, but it’s all you need! The toilets (portacabins) were spotlessly clean and well maintained. I will most certainly be visiting again.
Disliked Nothing.
