  • 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

Grand spot for a break, loads of praise for the views, quiet vibe, and sound owners. Showers and loos are spotless. Alpacas are a big hit! Cafe's decent too. A few mention the trek to facilities & rough road, but it's well worth it for the peace and quiet. Highly recommended.

Rachel D.

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked Small, intimate camping area. Clean toilet/shower area and very friendly, helpful owners. Great to have the cafe on site for breakfasts/snacks! Also fun to see the animals!

Disliked Not a dislike, but more a note that the toilet/shower block is a little walk from the camping area.

Omar A.

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked 1) Peaceful, quiet, and relaxing atmosphere. 2) Affordable and great value for money.
3) Convenient location, close to West Midland Safari Park.
4) Clean toilets and showers.
5) 4 showers and 5 toilets available – no queues during our stay. 4 showers and toilets are together which means no more than one person can enter the shower/toilet unit at a time. One of the toilets is on its own (Cloakroom).
7) Cosy café serving sausages, sandwiches, toasties, and hot drinks Café food and drinks reasonably priced. Two phone charging points available at the café.

Disliked Toilets and showers are a bit of a walk (200m) from the camping area. Need a torch for night trips to the facilities. Limited charging points – recommended to bring a power bank. Would be better if there was a toilet closer to the camping area, especially for night use

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked Lovely outlook over the surrounding countryside. We enjoyed walking around the site looking at the alpacas, geese, and the fishing lakes. The gentleman on reception was lovely. The toilets and showers were spotless and quite modern.

Disliked Bit of a walk to the toilet facilities along an unlit path.

Disliked The walk from the toilets to field is super steep! Can't be helped, but not for you if you struggle.

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).
