  • 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.

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked: The campers around us were friendly and the hosts offered very good amenities such as private bathrooms with large showers and also accessible toilets and showers.

Disliked: One woman who works there in the cafe is quite rude and can be miserable. When raining the ground does become quite uneven to pitch on

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked: Excellent Campsite a lovely location, alpacas, geese and ducks around. Has fishing if that's your thing but plenty of countryside walks if it's not. Well-stocked cafe with hot drinks and food at very reasonable prices, and lovely owners who are very helpful and friendly. Brilliant getaway from the hustle and bustle at a fantastic price, I would highly recommend it!!

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked: Very safe site for the children to play. They also loved seen the alpacas which are very well taken care of. The camp site is very clean and maintained, the view is amazing. We also took a walk around the fishery which was so nice. The toilets/showers are so very clean. The cafe/shop is very lovely. The site owners are very helpful and polite. You can also get takeaways delivered or collected from not a far distance if you’re wanting to. We will definitely be returning again. :)

Disliked: Nothing.

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).
