  • 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

A peaceful, clean site with stunning views and wildlife like alpacas. Owners are helpful, facilities (showers, cafe) are top-notch and good value. Road and steep hill to ablutions are tricky for mobility issues, but many want to come back.

Non-electric hardstanding and grass motorhome pitch

Liked Being surrounded by nature
The peaceful tranquility
Clean and well kept site
The animals
The fishing lake
Showers and toilets were an added bonus

Disliked The drive up to the camp was so bumpy at times it felt like you were going to pop your tyres. Pot holes and uneven areas. Deffo needs a proper track done to avoid potential damage to vehicles.

A small park would be well received for children as not much around or for them to do on-site

Non-electric hardstanding and grass motorhome pitch

Liked Very quiet relaxing site. The camping field is to the right as you come down the lane on an elevated bit so you can see for a long way over the tops. The lane is a bit bumpy but if you slow down, its not too bad. We stayed on a pitch with no electric, owner just told us to pitch wherever which worked well. Everyone very respectful of this.

Good phone signal. Not far from an Aldi supermarket by car.

Disliked Didn't really affect us, but the toilets and showers are down quite a long steep hill. Not ideal if your mobility isn't great.

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).
