Wassell Grove Camping and Caravanning

A aimé The site was quiet but i think that was because of the weather but we like it that way
A cheap & cheerful site stick to the site speed limit 5mph and the potholes won't catch you out👍🏻

A aimé If you just need somewhere to pitch your tent, with core amenities, at an excellent price, this is it. All the facilities were lovely, clean, and well looked after. The alpacas were fantastic.

A aimé The view the lake was very nice

N'a pas aimé The way down the hill it’s got pot holes everywhere which isn’t good for vehicles at all and Due to the weather the ground was mushy muddy and wet which made the tent covered we also lost our tent in the wind

Réponse du gestionnaire : Hi Aden
You have been here before so you know the site well. Please remember to read your booking confirmation in full, so you are fully aware of the gate lock code so you can then enter and leave the site at your leisure.
If you decide to camp during one of the wettest periods on record and during 2 nights of heavy rain, yes the grass is going to be saturated.
With reference to your blown away tent, it appears that, as there was very little wind on the day you were leaving, your tent was abandoned and chucked in the bushes as it was soaking wet when we recovered it. Likewise there were bags of rubbish left on the site which we had to dispose of, ourselves. There are bins everywhere dotted around our site for you to use this very purpose.
Granted, the track has been terrible this year as the rain has constantly washed out pot holes and I have lost count the number of times I have had to use my digger to fill in pot holes on our track which is over half a mile long. It can only be done during dry spells and the next dry spell we have, I will be repeating this process, yet again.
We have a campsite rule which states that customers must dispose of all their litter in the bins provided so we were not pleased when we saw the mess you left behind. As you have been here before we must impress that if this occurs again, we will have no option but to refuse your booking and return your funds.
Many thanks

A aimé Excellent value for money!
Great views over towards Birmingham.
Good facilities.
Friendly welcome.

N'a pas aimé Traffic noise.
Exposed pitch meant tent was buffeted by the wind.
Walk to facilities block at night was longer, darker, and steeper than ideal (head torch was useful).
Site was generally a bit scruffy (not litter).

A aimé Nice and quiet, small and secure, lovely cafe and very helpful and polite staff.

N'a pas aimé Road was awful to drive on to get down there, too many pot holes, and as I've got a low bumper had to be very careful. Grounded the van a couple of times. Pitches were a bit narrow too and got mud all over my trainers and in the van. Maybe some sawdust around the edges of the pitch may have helped

A aimé Spacious pitches and a great price per night.
Clean and tidy site.
Everyone on site was welcoming and friendly.
Several clean and private bathrooms with hot showers.
Great value hot food served in the mornings - the £7 freshly-cooked full English breakfast with a hot cup of tea in a proper mug was wonderful to wake up to! Beautiful birds and alpacas on site and hand-made alpaca-wool items on sale.
Several beautiful fishing ponds on site which are very relaxing to walk around.
I had a problem with my second night’s stay which the site owners resolved quickly and professionally.
Looking forward to staying again soon.

N'a pas aimé Not the site’s fault but due to its location close to main roads and the M5, traffic noise and sirens can be heard despite the site itself being incredibly peaceful.
It’s worth noting that the toilet/bathroom block is down a steep and bumpy hill from the pitches which isn’t nice to walk in the dark so I recommend bringing a portable loo for night time if possible.
Also worth noting that the hard-standing pitches are at the top of a hill with minimal shelter so are quite exposed to the wind.
