Umberslade Estate

Beautiful setting, great facilities (toilets showers and play area) cafe and pizzeria also brilliant addition

Bin and water supply

Clean
Modern
Plenty of room
Pizza barn and bar
Nice walks nearby

Lack of bins.
Only 2 showers.
Lack of signage (we didn’t know where we could find drinking water).
Quite pricey.

Field was well maintained and on site cafe and pizza barn were a nice touch especially if you dont fancy cooking. The cafe opens at 9 and closes at 4 - ideal times for a decent bite to eat.

As it was a Bank Holiday we expected more people but it seemed relatively underused which meant it was quiet after around 10.30 pm - for us that was a bonus :)

Location close to Tanworth in Arden was a plus - had a great meal in the Bell pub.

The toilet facilities were well maintained but a bit chilly

It would be helpful to have clearer signage to direct campers to the facilities - nothing at the car ark to indicate where the toilets are. Also its not clear once you get into the toilet block that the baby change room is also doubles as the shower room.

Maybe consider a few more access gaps in the car park fence so you dont have to lift heavy equipment over it or walk so far around its perimeter to pitch up.

Lovely back to basics camp where you like field, great for kids

Toilets very clean, amazing kids playground and lovely pizza barn and coffee shop! Staff were all really friendly and helpful.

The field is a little walk to the facilities but not a huge problem. It rained a lot overnight and we got stuck in the mud trying to get off the field but within minutes they brought a tractor out to rescue us! In hindsight we should have pitched by the road given the weather.

There was loads of space as it was very quiet. The coffee shop and pizza/bar barn were both great, we ate and drank at both on our stay. Beautiful grounds for a walk.

The space, the toilet/washing facilities were very modern and clean....however that was likely to be because there was only 1 other tent/family on site the same time we were there. Outdoor play areas good for little ones (my little boy is 8 and still had fun, however I don't think I'd stay any longer than 2 nights) I think the indoor play barn should be included in pitch price (it was a bit too young for my son but if you have younger children this could be a great option but it is quite pricey for just an hours play, on top of pitch fees)

Price. Seems slightly pricey especially given the time of year and no electric hook up..... maybe why there was only us and 1 other tent despite it being mild and half term? If it were busier, having only 2 showers may be an issue.

Great location for visiting Birmingham, NEC in particular.
Very clean toilet/shower/wash up block.
Fairly flat grass field with no mud to pitch on.
Attractive estate with very nice on site coffee shop.

No tap available to top up campervan water tank (a tap was available next to the wash up area, but there is no way to get a campervan close enough to use it to top up the tank).
No Chemical Disposal Point.
Grass very long in camping field.
Only 2 showers for whole campsite (not a problem during our visit as we ere alone for 2 of nights we stayed).
No EHU option (not a problem for us due to onboard solar/batteries).
Wash up area very good, but water only very warm not hot.
Wash up area flooring is polished concrete and very slippery when wet.
Overall very nice site, but too expensive given lack of water/EHU option/CDP for campervans.

No one else was there!

Would have been useful for there to be signs to camp ground.

Only 1 other van so very peaceful overnight stop (some early farm related activity).
Clean toilet block (although automatic lights failed to work in gents).
Clearly lots of investment has taken place but not focussed on motorhome facilities as yet.
Didn't use WiFi if it was available (no info provided)

Very expensive given lack of facilities.
No waste disposal.
No obvious shower facility or water tap (I couldn't ring to check where they were as no signal).
