Carney Pools Camping and Caravanning

Me gustó: This site was spotlessly clean, the shower block and toilets were extremely clean too. The site is secure with a coded gated which shuts every evening. Short walk to Cannock chase, canal towpath and local pub which is very dog friendly.

No me gustó: It isn’t really a dislike but you are close to the rail track so can hear trains go by but you soon get used to it and don’t even realise they’re going by.

Me gustó: The site was very well maintained and the shower facilities were great. The pitch was level and I liked the rural setting.

No me gustó: The railway line is close by but I didn’t really notice the noise from my pitch. It certainly didn’t keep me awake!

Me gustó: Fishing pools, clean toilets, flat pitches Close to mountain biking park

No me gustó: Nothing to complain about! Some might not appreciate a railway 100m away but it didn’t bother us

Me gustó: The shower/toilet blocks are very clean and of great quality. The showers are £1 for 5 minutes use but they are the best showers Iv ever used on a campsite so didn’t mind the charge. The kids play area is a good size and right in the middle of the camping field so it was really easy to keep an eye on my kids as they played. The grass is well kept and pitch size are good too.

No me gustó: Electric tripped easily as it’s only 10amp. Other campsites at this price have 16amp. This isn’t a problem but it’s the only negative Iv got.

Me gustó: The playground was great for the children and not largely noted on the website. The fishing ponds would be ideal for a camping fishing trip. It was 10 mins from Cannock Chase, ideal for biking and running. Friendly and helpful staff.

No me gustó: Rail engineering works which woke us through the night with metal on metal hammering and power-tooling. Also didn’t like having to pay for the showers, noting the price of a non electric pitch is higher than average.

Del administrador: Hi Edward, I am saddened to hear you had an unpleasant stay at our campsite. However unfortunately being next to a railway if they choose to do works on the rail at any given time there isn’t anything we can do about it, it can be as frustrating for you and much as us. The showers are stated that a charge is given for them, this isn’t because we want to charge for them it is simply because people leave them running constantly beforehand so we had no choice in but to put a charge on them so once the time runs out it stops. I can only recommend that you research the campsite before booking as you would have known we are close to a railway. I am happy to hear you thought our staff was helpful and friendly we do pride ourselves in customer service, we are on the outskirts of Cannock chase so ideal for walkers/bikers. We hope the railway hasn’t put you off staying with us again as I can assure you they don’t work on it every weekend. All the best Hollie

Me gustó: Overall clean environment. Toilet and shower facilities are excellent within a short walk. Great evening entertainment.

No me gustó: Unluckily there was a large family group singing and shouting until 1:30am while everyone else was asleep. Nothing to do with the camp site just selfish ppl.

Me gustó: The playground was great and accommodated a huge number and age range with all the children playing nicely together. The owners were very relaxed and we could pitch up in one of 2 fields. There weee no marked out pitches so no restrictions on space. The pitches were also fairly level.

No me gustó: Far too few toilets and showers! We somehow coincided our stay with the sites bank holiday weekend music festival and there were at least 400 people on site. 2 showers and 3 toilets were nowhere near enough. There was also no wash area so the only place to clean teeth/wash was in the 2 small hand basins used for hand washing. The noise late into the night was also near unbearable. We booked through Pitch Up and there was no mention of the music festival so it was quite a shock to find 400 people partying late into the night with the band playing until we’ll past 11pm and the disco much later. The same was true on the Sunday night as well with many people choosing to party in their own tents until the early hours.

Del administrador: Hi Hannah, thank you for your feedback, we do tend to have live entertainment on bank holidays or special occasions such as the coronation, we are sorry if you didn't realise this was being held on this bank holiday. We hope this hasn't put you off returning with us. I find it very unfair to leave a low score on Wifi as we don't offer it. Im sure you can appreciate we are not normally this busy and our toilet block never becomes full nor do we have any complaints, but it was bank holiday and it is our busiest time of the year; I can only suggest if you want a quite break not to book on a bank holiday. All the best, Hollie.

Me gustó: We really enjoyed. There was entertainment, food and drinks were sold. An excellent playground that is in plain sight, adults relax, children play and can be seen. Everywhere is clean and tidy. Responsive hosts. Adequate prices. Many shops nearby (16 min drive).

No me gustó: Non
