  • Small and friendly site based on a working dairy farm
  • On the edge of Cannock Chase; 15 minutes' drive from central Stafford
  • Local pub, farm shop and pick your own within a two-mile radius
There's a lot to like about breaks on this working dairy farm near Stafford. For starters, Moors Covert Farm Camping is on the edge of the Cannock Chase Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, a 26-square-mile playground for walkers, cyclists, horse trekkers and outdoor activity types. The site is also next to the Staffordshire Way, so head for this neck of the woods if you're looking to wander far and wide. This back-to-basics spot likes to keep things simple and straightforward. There's ample space on these well-kept grounds for guests and their gear – just turn up with your pals, kids or bikes and let the good times roll. About two miles from base there's also a top-rated pub; head along here to get those good times off to a flying start. The folk that run this place do their best to keep you sweet with their locally produced honey; they also sell free-range eggs and other supplies. Got a taste for home-grown grub? Head to the local farm shop, about a mile away, for more farm-to-fork goodies. There's also a pick-your-own down the road where you can pluck the plumpest-looking pumpkins when they're in season. Looking to stock up at a proper supermarket or grab a takeaway? Drive 15 minutes down the road to get to Stafford city centre.

What customers say

A lovely, peaceful farm campsite with clean facilities and friendly owners. Visitors enjoyed seeing the animals, including calves and lambs, and appreciated the quiet rural setting. Some noted a lack of showers and occasional flies/manure smells, but overall experiences were highly positive.

Liked What a beautiful setting. Idyllic, quiet and serene. My friend and I wanted to stay somewhere with a good choice of walks nearby and it did not disappoint.

Very clean, freshly mowed grass, lots of space.

Highlights of the stay were watching a calf being born - just happened to be there at the right moment! And the beautiful little dog that came for a cuddle in our tent this morning.

Honestly cannot fault anything about this stay, I slept like a baby and will definitely be back.

Liked Superb place to stay. Rang the mobile number when I arrived and the owner promptly met us to let us on to the pitches. We were able to choose where we wanted to set up which was convenient. The location is lovely and the on site toilet and charging facilities are undoubtedly useful! Regarding the one review that mentioned the smell of manure - it is a farm and so it isn’t really surprising that there may be the occasional animal smell. During the stay, it was only noticeable when you were close to the cows in their shelter. As our tent was pitched near the bottom, I couldn’t say I noticed a strong smell of manure.

Is what it is. Camping on a farm with toilet block and sink. Perfect

Liked Our stay was amazing it’s so peaceful. Able to have a bbq and small fire which a lot of places now don’t allow you to. Children could run on the fields they loved it. Toilets are kept clean. Able to enjoy walking around the dairy cows and the young calf’s. Such an amazing Experience will Deffinatly be back owners are very polite and welcoming even had cake left in the campers kitchen which you could purchase. Could also arrange with owner to go and watch the milking process with the dairy cows.

Local attractions

Moors Covert Farm Camping is a peaceful spot, but it's also well connected: Junction 13 of the M6 is close by, making it a doddle to zip from north to south and back again. There's much more to life than shopping – this is the countryside, after all – but when the sales are on at Trentham Shopping Village (30 minutes' drive down the M6) they can be pretty hard to resist. There's also a monkey park here, a little fact that may well help you bribe the kids to come along… For outdoor adventure, make tracks for the off-road Segways for rent at Birches Valley (10 minutes). Here you'll also find a visitor centre to help you get your bearings and a Go Ape where you can survey your surrounds from above. For more time in the open air, grab your rod and make your way over to Calf Heath reservoir (15 minutes), a well-stocked carp lake. There's also a recommended riding stables on the Chase (five minutes) – trot down here if you'd like lessons, treks or just some time in the saddle.
