Hello - we are seasoned campers, but are a bit picky about where we camp.  Has anyone got any recommendations for nice, quiet sites, without too many pitches, where you get loads of space and just the stars and the views (preferably pub in walking distance - but that is obviously asking a lot!) - anywhere near Midlands? 

For example we love Fforest Fields, (smallish site, so quiet and peaceful and great for small kids to run around and amuse themselves), but we hate large sites like Brynich (you camp on top of the next tent, no space, everyone there like sheep all doing same thing - gives you claustrophobia as soon as you enter site!!!).  We are not picky about facilities - good clean shower and loo is all we need. 

Any sites that anyone has been to that are like Fforest fields please let us know - I've tried searching on this site, but often people say "Lovely peaceful site" but they have 250 pitches!  Ahh - my worst  nightmare!!!!  Thanks for reading this blurb and any advice gratefully received.

Try here - its basic but very tranquil - ok you hear a bit of noise from the M6 but the cows mooing in the next field was louder! We went August Bank Holiday and there was about 5 tents in one large field! - few miles from Stafford and the local Brewsters was about a minute away by car! Was only £6 per night when we went no EHU though.

White Pump farm on the A5 on the Staffs/Shropshire border, has EHU but no showers. Think it has a loo but we used our caravan facilities. There's a pub up the road (Bradford Arms) and several in Codsall. Not exactly a picturesque area but handy for touring.

There is also Dunston Heath Farm near Stafford which we like very much. Both easy to get to from M6.
