  • 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

This is a peaceful, clean campsite with beautiful views & a welcoming atmosphere. Guests praise the friendly staff, well-maintained facilities, & the on-site cafe. Animals, especially alpacas, are a highlight. Some note the distance & steepness to the restroom block can be challenging for those with mobility issues. Highly recommended for its value & tranquil setting.

Julie C.

Primitive cement/asphalt and grass RV campsite

Liked The site is situated far enough away from the hub bub for peace and quite but close to family activities. The facilities are spotless and the site was well attended but never had to wait to use them. The owners are really lovely and leave you to your holiday but are on hand to assist if needed.

Disliked A bit of a hill back from the toilets and showers but good for the legs :)

Disliked The sat nav told us we’d arrived before we had. Signage wasn’t very clear, so took the single track lane hoping we were going in the right direction.

John R.

Primitive cement/asphalt and grass RV campsite

Liked The fishing lakes were nice, apart from the blazing fire from burning rubbish bellowing smoke into the atmosphere.

Disliked The road down from the entrance to the site is very poor, the trees and bushes need cutting back and the road surface needs sorting.
I booked a hard standing which is sold as 6m x 8m, I spoke the day before and said it would be around 20:30 for check-in, on checking I was told if there was no hard standings left I could just park on the grass. Not acceptable, if you book a hard standing then that’s what you should get. The hard standings are tiny. Don’t believe the measurements on the app. The facilities are very poor, a very dirty toilet outside for the black waste which was blocked. A dirty toilet for grey waste. The fresh water tap was also very dirty with an old tyre full of rubbish around it looking very hygienic. Not.

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).
