  • Back-to-basics Staffordshire farm site in 32 acres of countryside
  • Located in Cannock Chase; a five-minute drive from Rugeley and the A51
  • Pop-up shop selling hot drinks, local produce and camping equipment
For days biking through the forests of Cannock Chase, make tracks for this cycle-friendly farm site in Staffordshire. Stays are wonderfully laidback affairs at Four Oaks Farm – with 32 acres to pitch up in, there's plenty of space for everyone to chill out, cook and wander as they please. Head here for easy access to some of Staffordshire's top cycle paths (or walks with a well-behaved dog hot on your heels, if you've brought one). The Chase Mountain Bike trail is adjacent to the site, and there's a visitor centre on hand over the road if you need help getting to grips with your surrounds. There's also a Gruffalo-themed nature trail for the tiddlers to totter along here.  Back at base, the views are mighty fine and the basics are all covered: guests can expect spacious pitches, drinking water and portable toilets/showers, along with a pop-up shop (in high season only). Barbecues are welcome on site as long as they're raised off the ground, but please don't bring any firepits along. Need to stock up? Rugeley (five minutes' drive) has plenty of food shops, as well as pubs and takeaway options. If you're planning to leave the car at home for this one, this is also where you'll find the nearest station (about a 20-minute bike ride away).

Level pitches, however, seems to be poorly run and dirty.

Electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked: The pitch was very green and flat, the views were lovely and the pop up shop was well stocked.

Disliked: A big crowd very close to our pitch were playing loud music till late, keeping us and everyone up. There was also a strong smell of cannabis coming from them. No staff on site overnight to complain to which I felt unusual given the size of the site. The toilets were also very dirty and smelly with two of the women's being blocked every morning. The showers were also very small and dirty, meaning changing was uncomfortable.

From the manager: Hello, Had we been made aware of these issues, they would have been resolved during your stay. We have a zero tolerance policy for the use of ilicit substances on our site. There were multiple staff members stopping on site during your stay but as it's a large site, we aren't necessarily aware of issues unless told. Our landline also redirects to the out of hours warden once the shop is shut who will coordinate efforts to resolve any issues. Both the toilets and showers are thourghly cleaned twice daily over the weekend and once daily during the week as well as checks throughout the day. Unfortunately, toilets do occasionally get blocked and as soon as we're aware, we do unblock them.

Great time just what we wanted

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked: We loved this camp site. Perfect for families. The campsite owners were hugely accomodating, friendly and nothing is too much trouble. There was an onsite shop and on Sunday night a quiz (we didn't end up doing, but looked good fun). All at the same time as being in a very large open field where you're not camped on top of each other. The toilets were clean at all times and the showers were great. It is perfectly placed for bike riding, Gruffalo/Zog trail and Go Ape. Being able to walk/bike over in less than 5 minutes was fantastic with our tribe of children. We cannot say enough good things about this site, will definitley be camping there next year.

Local attractions

Fancying swinging through the trees? Go Ape is a couple of minutes' walk from site at Birches Valley Forest – head here if you fancy taking on this 1,500-metre-long high ropes course. Segway hire is also available next door for speedy self-powered laps of the woodland. The National Trust's Shugborough Estate (10 minutes' drive) is also close by: this Georgian manor house has gorgeous grounds and is home to a working farm where the kids can get up close and personal with friendly livestock. For more historic architecture, head down the road to Stafford Castle (20 minutes), where there's an interactive heritage trail and museum to get stuck into.  Other family-friendly options in the area include the National Forest Adventure Farm (20 minutes) with its bouncy soft play zone and go-karting track. Want to ramp up the adrenaline a little more? Jaunts to classic theme parks like Drayton Manor (25 minutes) and Alton Towers (half an hour) can be sorted in a doddle. For some slower times after all that action, Dovedale (45 minutes) is a prime spot for peaceful Peak District wanders.
