Carney Pools Camping and Caravanning

Good location with cannock chase right on the doorstep, great fishing pools with little shop.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

Totally last minute get away before back to school for kids (13/10/7) absolutely cracking site, clean facilities and staff were great not to mention the bar and food they had on all weekend would definitely come back camping here amazing. The daughter and the dad that were working all weekend couldn’t do enough for us ! Thank you for a great weekend

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.

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.

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).

Clean toilets and shower, plenty of space for a choice of pitch.

Wasn’t keen on this years addition of a live band tent. We have stayed here many times over the last few years. Previous years have had a licensed van for drink lab but this years upgrade was loud and went on too late for my kids (despite camping at the back of the back field). Of course the entertainment wasn’t aimed at us but wouldn’t have booked if we had known

Great campsite, facilities kept clean and friendly staff. Level pitches and park for the children was ideal. There is an option to pitch up away from the park to avoid the hustle and bustle from the kids.

I think we may have been there on the rare occasion that night repairs were being done on the train line close by. Sadly this kept us awake from 230am as it was quite noisy.

This campsite was just brilliant :) couldn't fault anything.
The couple that owned it were the loveliest campsite owners I've experienced, nothing was too much trouble and they made me and my friends feel so welcome.
They had a marquee, bar, food and live music on when we stayed and it was all brilliant :) the hog roast was spot on.
Also the toilets etc were so clean...they are cleaned several times throughout the day which is great as clean facilities is a massive thing for me, was really impressed how much they cared about the site and the people staying there.

My children weren't with me on this trip but as a mum aswell, I would definitely stay here with my children. The park is right in the middle of the field which is so much better than most sites where you can't see it from your tent or its down a road.

We also had a day fishing which was lovely...the ponds are all really well looked after and maintained and we caught loads of fish :)

Genuinely can't think of anything that I disliked about our stay
