Trawling the net for a top fishing site where you can spend your next holiday? Sort yourself a break at Clay Farm, a rural spot in Clows Top, Worcestershire with pretty waterside views and a handful of well-maintained pitches next to its ponds. This spacious place has a relaxed feel, so it’s a pleasant option for settling in – and chilling out – in the countryside, even when you’re not angling. But if you are? There’s a large 12-foot deep pool filled with common, mirror, crucian and grass carp weighing up to 25lbs, with lots of tree cover for when shelter is needed. Clay Farm's small carp pool is excellent for younger fishing fans looking to dip their toe in the sport, and there’s another pond containing tench, roach, bream and chub.​ (Fishing comes at an extra charge, payable on site.) In terms of amenities, Clay Farm is towards the simpler end of the scale, with well-maintained toilets but no on-site shower facilities. And as for off-site attractions? Head to the Wyre Forest National Nature Reserve (five minutes’ drive) to stretch your legs, or peer at the exotic creatures at West Midland Safari Park (20 minutes).

Power optional gravel travel trailer campsite

Liked: Brilliant place. Lovely fishing lake. Great hosts. No negatives at all. Nature. Herds of deer. Swifts on the wing. Hawks.

Disliked: Weekend campers brought children but the only noise was in daylight hours and as we went out it wasn't too much of an issue.

Power optional gravel travel trailer campsite

Liked: It's a small site, so lovely and quiet. There is a field in view with Deer and Stags. There are fishing pools with common and mirror carp. We saw loads coming up for oxygen when it was raining. The toilets are immaculate. We have been her a couple of times before and it never let's us down

Disliked: Nothing to do.. which I also love.

FENGZHI H. The reviewer booked through Pitchup.com

Primitive grass tent campsite

Liked: I must recommend this campsite. The pitch is spacious and quiet! The scenery is amazing, and even though it was a cloudy and rainy day when we went yesterday, it didn’t affect the view at all. I can’t imagine how beautiful it would be on a sunny day!

Disliked: The toilets weren’t particularly great, possibly due to the rain, but overall, they were acceptable.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for a very kind and fair review. We do clean the toilets twice a day, but I noticed this weekend with the rain and having cut the grass on Thursday, that there was a lots of grass in there each time I cleaned. I think a lot of children as well. However you are right they just didn't look great this weekend.

Perfect for overnight stop in motorhome

Local attractions

Wyre Forest National Nature Reserve (five minutes' drive) is as good a place as any to kick off your Worcestershire break. Mountain biking, horseback riding, dog walking and refreshments at the forest's very popular café are all good options, as is heading to Go Ape Wyre Forest (10 minutes) to cavort around in the canopy on its tree-top adventure trails. Further family-friendly days out are easily accessible, whether you opt for a drive-through safari at West Midland Safari Park (20 minutes), an educational visit to Ironbridge Gorge (45 minutes) and Blists Hill Victorian Town (45 minutes) or fancy rewarding your kids' good behaviour with a trip to meet Thomas the Tank Engine at Drayton Manor Theme Park (an hour and 10 minutes). More peaceful days out beckon at Witley Court and Gardens (15 minutes), a lavish Italianate mansion surrounded by well-tended parkland. For less manicured green space, head instead to the untamed natural landscapes of the Shropshire Hills (35 minutes), an area of outstanding natural beauty with near-endless potential for country rambles and scrambles.
