 We have just returned from a 3-night stay and will definitely return.
They are very strict on the 12-noon entry and wouldn't open up a moment earlier despite there being a back-log of car / caravans, so there is no point in arriving earlier in the hope of getting in.
We were travelling with friends and asked if it would be possible to be sited on adjacent pitches if available. The warden gave me the standard 'talk' saying that he had noted my request on the booking form but that there was no guarantee etc. Which I could understand if the site was busy, but on looking around later on it was apparent that it wasn't even 1/3rd full, so the 'talk' seemed a little pointless.
However, we were delighted with the facilities - the shower blocks & toilets were absolutely immaculate throughout our stay.
A great base if you have kids / dogs as there are miles & miles of walks around the Water Park next door.
The Dog & Doublet Pub which is just a 10-min walk (though we went in the car - 2 mins) served up a super Sunday lunch. Even more enticing.Camping & Caravan Club Members got a 10% discount off meals (not drinks).
All in all a very pleasurable holiday.

Lovely open site, Some of the hardstandings are the nylon mesh variety and are naturalised into the grass which is well cared for. Toilets are meticulously clean and well maintained with underfloor heating in the showers. The wardens are friendly and very helpful.
The area is surrounded by walks, lakes and woodland. Nearest Pub is a mile walk along the canal towpath. The only problem with this site is the noise from the m6/m42 this is not especially noticeable during the day but is intrusive at night.

Our first real outing with the full compliment of equipment (awning etc.). We chose this site as it was close and easily accessible. Also it is ideally located for good long walks around the water park next door.
On arrival the staff couldn't do enough. We explained we were new to the caravanning scene, and they took everything nice and easy.
The wardens helped me reverse onto the pitch. And then offered to help but weren't pushy.
The facilities, location and scenery was excellent. Safe for the kids to ride the bikes. The playground was new, but very busy. If you are wanting a quiet time, don't pitch next to the play area ! Lesson learnt.
The shower and wash facilities were excellent, we made use of the family room with it's huge shower, and room to bath our 1 year old. Perfect.
The people on site were friendly, and there were lots of newbies.
I would recommend this site to anyone. It has excellent facilities, Laundry, washing, small shop for milk etc. Friendly and good for travel links.

We arrived at after 8pm at Kingsbury with no booking and although they were full, as members of the c&cc they found us a space with no electric for our tent and could not have been more helpful.
The site is spotless, the showers, toilets and wash room are warm clean and cosy. There are flowers everywhere and proper paths to walk on. There is a tiny shop bit in reception but Tescos or Asda are only 5 mins drive up the road.

Living very near to Kingsbury Water Park makes this site very attractive for those impromptu last minute getaway weekends.
Unfortunately after many, many enjoyable weekends at this super site it was all ruined on our last visit by the new park warden, who urgently needs a customer service skills course.
Anyway, apart from this I would recommend this site to anyone. It is aesthetically pleasing to the eye and is well tended.
The toilets and shower blocks are second to none, what more can I say!
The pitches are flat, wide and well maintained. The hardstanding pitches are not the horrible gravel style ones, they have a plastic meshing instead hidden under the grass which is equally as good if not better in my opinion.
Electric hookups are available throughout the park apart from the tent field which has them around the perimeter. You can always get a very good television reception here as well.
If you need the use of your laptop whilst away the park now has WiFi access which is purchased via reception.
The park has plenty of fresh/grey water points all within short walking distances.
There is no real shop on site and only a few basic items are for sale, (papers, bread, milk etc etc) at the reception.
The children's park, of which my daughter always enjoys is good for both young children and children maybe under the ages of 10-12.
With the site being in Kingsbury Water Park there are also plenty of walks all over the park if you have a dog(s).
There are plenty of pubs in the local area that serve good food. The Dog and Doublet pub, which is only a 10 minute walk away can be reached via the canal towpath or by the road.
Road noise from the nearby M42 motorway has always been an issue, but if you have a busy day then sleeping becomes no problem and you don't really notice it.
Overall this is a great park and is well worth a visit.

Visited this site on the 6th and 7th June.
Booked in advance which is recommended, upon arrival I was given a family deal for two adults, two children and a dog. Electric hookup with awning costing £41.80. Good value I feel, but I know there are cheaper sites out there.
Kingsbury was our first site with our folding camper. The weather for the weekend was perfect (no rain) and made the weekend even more enjoyable.
The site is immaculate, toilet/shower blocks very clean. Picthes were very spacious and even though we were in a large field we never felt too close to other campers. The site shop is small but probably has everything you need. You need to pre-order a paper for the next morning.
We had a great walk on the Saturday afternoon around Kingsbury Water park which is accessible via some gates on the site.
Only problem with some of the pitches I guess would be that you may hear the road noise of the close motorway. I would say that there is probably enough going on during the day that you dont hear the noise, but at night you can hear it a little. This would not put me off going back there, as its a great site with some lovely walks. Plenty to do in the surrounding area.
Would I go back - Yes!

I visited this site with my daughter. Spent 3 nights. Lovely flat pitching sites. All staff helpful and polite. Very clean all round. Loved the fresh flowers in the shower blocks. Very nice walks round and about. Close to Drayton Manor Park and main shops. The noise from the motorway was'nt noticable after a while, did not interrupt with sleep at all. Will definitely use this site again soon. Would like to see recycling bins. (sorry if you already have them, but I did not notice any).

Truly beautiful
I visited this site with my wife and two young daughters, 9 & 5 and i'm so glad I did. The site is well maintained the shower blocks and toilets are immaculate, They have lovely shower's that are individual large cubilces with plenty of clothes hooks. The blocks also have private wash room cubicles with a wash basin and shaver sockets.
The shop is small and stocks only the bare minimum. The staff are extremely helpful and friendly.
I've read some comments about the fact that traffic can be heard from the nearby motorway which is true if you're situated over the far end of the site but it's only a minor background hum more than anything else.
The site wardens are quick to stop any ball games or general misbehaviour but they do this courtiously with little fuss.
There is a lovely small childrens park that is well maintained my daughters spent most of the day there and seemed to really enjoy themselves.
This is also the flatest site that i've frequented so is ideal for pitching a caravan or tent.
There are a few water stations dotted about the site that have the drinking water taps and waste water drains situated in the middle with the bins around the perimeter, once again these are well maintained and in immaculate condition.
What more can I say other than a very very nice site indeed. Thanks to all the lovely staff for being so friendly and helpful, Top team! It has to be a 9/10 for me.

This is an immaculate site and we will visit again.
The toilets and showers were kept extremely clean and tidy at all times.
Booking onto the site was carried out in an efficient manner.
The surrounding areas are beautiful and the local working farm is well worth a visit, we popped in for a quick look and stayed for 3 hours.
The site staff need to remember that we are paying their wages as they appeared to be not very happy at times.
The local pub (Dog and Doublet) is well worth a visit, good selection of real ales.
Even after a few days of rain the site was well drained when we arrived, there is a small amount of noise from the nearby M42 but you get used to it.

We had a basic pitch for a large tent, with no electric hook up.
The pitch was good, and even though there was heavy rain after we had pitched, our area drained well - other pitches were a little wet, but they drained after a few hours.
Check in was efficient, and the wardens quick to stop football etc., nothing heavy handed, but it kept the site quiet and not too rowdy.
Toilets and showers were excellent, with no negatives.
We camped with 2 small children and the site is excellent for families. Highly recommended with few bad points.

I stayed here with my boyfriend and my sister over a weekend. The staff treated us very differently than some of the other campers and they seemed to have a problem wth our ages.
We make camping our serious hobby and should not really be tarred with the same brush as some of the yobs you see around just because we are younger than other clientel.
All in all though, the site was immaculate, loved the toilet block, very spacious and the individual sinks with lights on the mirrors that are enclosed for privacy are a great idea you don't see at many places.
I really liked the style and layout of the site, very close to plenty of walks in Kingsbury Park.
I agree with other reviews though that you can hear a little traffic, but you do seem to get used to it throughout the day. More of a hum than anything else.
There is a small shop in reception that does ice creams and some essentials but if you are planning to eat by your tent you will definitely need to stop at a supermarket beforehand.
Would recommend but as I say, seems mostly geared up to accept family groups and not so much young couples.

Tend to agree with much of the report by Cufcbarside on October 2007. It is a very nice site, but the warden was a little abrupt and needs to be aware that we are the paying customers and a more flexible and friendly approach would make people's stay that much more pleasant. Not that helpful in siting a small group of friends together in spite of the promises when we booked. The deputy wardens were very helpful.
The site itself is lovely, but there was motorway noise. Toilet blocks and grounds were well looked after and a nice childrens play area. Being a Caravan and Camping Club Site, no shop on site. Quite strict about departure time (althought the site almost emptied at the end of the Mayday Bank Holiday weekend), but short extensions given.

What a lovely site! We will definitely be returning.
There were 2 toilet and shower blocks with 4 male and 4 female showers in each along with toilets and private cubicles. The individual shower cubicles were spacious, the largest I have come across on a camp-site so far with plenty of room for an adult and a child to shower / dress together. The blocks were spotlessly clean and had underfloor heating. There are also 5 washing up sinks in each block and the central block has laundry facilities and information boards.
There was a good play area with 2 toddler swings and 2 swings for older kids separated by a climbing frame/rope bridge/slide.
The reception stocks a few food items but there is a co-op in Kingsbury and in nearby Tamworth there is Sainsburys and a 24-hour Asda.
We had a meal at the Dog and Doublet. Nice 10 minute walk along either the canal or the road to get there. Quality food, generous portions and reasonable prices. Children are allowed in until 8pm. You get a 10% discount if you show your C&CC membership card.
5 minutes drive away is Drayton Manor, a theme park with great whiteknuckle rides, family rides, a small zoo and a new younger children's area based on Thomas the Tank Engine. Well worth a visit. (Save your Tesco clubcard coupons and buy tickets before you go)
Other places we will try and visit when we next stay here include Twycross Zoo, the Snowdome in Tamworth and the waterpark itself.
If you have forgotten any essentials, Tamworth Camping is only 10 minutes drive away and a little further away there is a Yeoman's unit at Dobie's Garden Centre in Atherstone.
There is some noise from the motorway but as others have said, it is a constant hum and you just don't notice it after a short time so please don't that put you off coming to this lovely site.

Hi Team as usual the not so good bits.
The noise from the motorway can give sleepless nights
The noise from the gulley sucker on saturday morning.
We must have caught some people in a wrong frame of mind as we thought that some of site teams approach needed a little more care for their paying customers.
Access to and from the site entrance to the main road could be difficult with two big caravans meeting head on.
On our time there on site there was a lot of movement with caravans coming and going, seemed more than other sites we have been on.
The good bits
The toilets are without a doubt well maintained.
The pitchs are fine and well layed out.
The location is excellent for the waterpark.
The disabled toilets are class setting.
The showers are large and although push button lasted sufficently for a good shower and the heated floor in the shower cubicle is certainly a great idea and without a doubt works.
Overall not bad. In school terms a C+

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay here despite the awful weather we had while we were there. The site was lovely, well maintained, clean and tidy. The wardens were lovely and very helpful on arrival.
The ablutions were immaculate and the underfloor heating in the showers was great. There was a nice outdoor play area for smaller children, on site, with swings etc. The walks around the Water Park itself were great.
Great meals served at the Dog & Doublet, which is in walking distance of the site.
The shop on site sold basic provisions e.g. Bread, eggs, milk, sweets etc and there was an Asda Superstore, which was open 24 hours, probably about a 15 minute drive away.
Would definitely visit again.
