 Really love this site ! It is very well maintained with both large hardstandings and grass pitches, there are 2 immaculately kept toilet/shower blocks, there's a good kids play area too. The site is situated on the edge of Kingsbury Water Parks which boasts numerous paths around the 30 odd pools & lakes a huge kids adventure park and miniature railway. Being only 5 mins from the M42/M6/M6 toll Junction its ideally located for visiting the West Midlands. There is a very good fish & chip van that visits of a Friday evening and The Dog & Douplet pub is a 15 minute walk along the canal ! All in all great site in a great location ! well recommended

This was our very first trip in a touring caravan and the staff where very helpful and friendly - offering advice and tips when asked.
They also allowed us to stay late for a small donation to the flower fund which was fantastic as we really didn't want to leave.
There is a good playground for the kids and plenty of places for them to cycle around.
The facilities are very clean and were never too busy. We stayed on a hard-standing pitch with hook-up which had plenty of room for our car, van and awning.
The massive plus point for this site was having Kingsbury Park right next door as there is loads for everyone to do - all within easy walking distance of the site.
Will definitely be re-visiting - even though we only live 20 mins away.

Very friendly, family site with a good play area. Our grandchildren made a lot of friends and had plenty of space to play around the site. Lovely helpful wardens who work hard to keep the site well kept and tidy. Clean toilet blocks. Activity centre across the road from the site excellent, the Snowdome in Tamworth well worth a visit with swimming and water slide and inflatables. Good shopping in Tamworth.

We have just returned from our fourth visit to Kingsbury Water Park having had a brilliant week.
This time round was our first time on hard standing in our new to us Folding Camper. Weather was perfect for our first try, and other campers very helpful when it came to sorting out the awning. This place always has a friendly atmosphere where you know there is always a helping hand nearby. The wardens as ever were helpful and friendly, showing us to our pitch and offering help and advice throughout our stay.
Despite the heavy downpours and appalling weather the week before our arrival, the grounds were well drained and certainly the area where we were camped hadn't suffered.
We were located close to the children's play area, initially we were concerned this would prove very noisy late at night as had been the case with our very first visit, this time round it was ideal and the noise gradually stopped between 8pm and 9pm. Our four kids made full use of the play area and it was nice being able to allow them to go off to play, they all made friends with other children and had plenty of fun.
The on site shop is small but adequate for our needs, there are plenty of bigger shops located within a 10 minute car drive if needed. There is also a visiting chip van on a Friday evening. We didn't use this this time but have enjoyed chips after setting up on previous occasions. The local pub which we tried on a previous visit is also lovely with a friendly atmosphere and good food.
Shower and toilet facilities are always perfect here, regularly cleaned and the under floor heating very much appreciated on these chilly nights!
The water park itself is lovely with plenty to keep the kids entertained as well as the lovely walks. We can easily spend the whole day wandering around the Water Park with a nice picnic at one of the play areas. Drayton Manor is also very close by and makes for a nice day out with the kids.
The only downside to the site is the traffic noise at night from the motorways. We noticed it quite a bit this time round, I assume that was due to the lack of wind. Other visits when it's been breezy it was a lot less noticeable.
Overall this is a fantastic site and we will definitely be back again!

We did return and had another lovely stay. Weather was a bit of a dampener though.
It was our first trip of the year and we spent much of the two days re-organising. Kingsbury is relative close to home and we also had a trip to collect more accessories to get packed away. Very pleased with the results though.

This was not our first visit to this site, but was our first outing with our Caravan. The reason for the stay was to visit the NEC Camping show to choose an awning. The site was ideal being only a short drive away. Toilets and showers were kept clean, despite the weather, although through the low season only one block is open. As the name suggests the site is next to Kingsbury Water Park, where there are many walks / cycle paths to enjoy (which we did when we visited in 1999 & 2009!), it is also close to the Birmingham & Fazely Canal if you fancy a walk along the towpath for some Gongoozling. Also handy for Drayton Manor, Thomas Land, and Tamworh. Would thoroughly recommend.

We, my 9yo daughter and I, stayed for a couple of nights at the end of October - very mild and the warmest Hallowe'en on record! We both really enjoyed ourselves. The wardens were all incredibly friendly and helpful; they couldn't do enough for us. The facilities were first rate and some of the best I have come across. Location is ideal with the water park a short walk away.
I would definitely recommend this site and am returning in Feb because we liked it so much.

We stayed here for 2 nights, whilst visiting friends in the area. The location is good and there were far more positives than negatives.
Positives are:
- Very friendly and helpful wardens. After our 2 days, we wanted to go out and get the little one some lunch before setting off on the long journey. The wardens gave us permission to leave our folding camper in the car park, so we didn't have to drag it around with us.
- All flat and good sized pitches.
- Clean shower and toilet blocks.
- Small shop with the essentials in. Meant I didn't have to rush out to get milk for the little one.
Negatives are:
- There was a shower block for families, however you need to pay a deposit of £10 to access the key. I don't have a problem with this, however it wasn't something that was mentioned on the website, or at the time of booking, so we didn't know about it, and therefore did not have £10 on us to get the key. The first we knew about it was in the morning, when my husband took the small person over for a shower and didn't have access, so we had to shower her in the main showers. As we were only there for 2 days, it wasn't then worth getting the key for the following day.
- Where we were pitched, which had the entrance to the site and the road behind us, we did encounter a bit of traffic. Most of the time it wasn't a problem, but every now and then you would get someone who would go past a bit too fast and create a lot of noise.
In our two days on site, we didn't get to see much on the site or in the local area, but what we did see, we did like :)

This site is excellent. The pitches are huge, the facilities are well situated and plentiful. Lots of hot water, very clean toilets and showers. Mops and buckets with disinfectant in for campers to clean showers after use. We arrived on Friday evening in the rain, Me in my Conway Crusader, My Son and Grandchildren in his Dandy Regency. We were given pitches together. We were encouraged to pitch with doors facing each other so that we could make the ground between the pitches 'ours' for the weekend.
The children's play area was well situated and of a good size. The wardens and staff were so helpful, they all went the extra mile, this is what makes the Camping & Caravan Club different.
The Grand kids really enjoyed their freedom and had a fantastic time.
The mobile fish & chip shop on Friday was a welcome sight, as we arrived late.
The wardens were cheerful and chatty throughout the stay. Roads throughout the site were wide and in good repair. Children riding bikes were sensible, and even though dogs were on site, we were not disturbed even once by a nuisance bark.
The Water and waste facilities were plenty and well situated. The toilet chemical toilet disposal point is clean and roomy.
The site shop stocked the basics, Milk, Bread, Bacon, Ice creams etc.
I could recommend this site to others as it ticked all of the boxes.
All in all a brilliant well run site that is value for money.
You do get a discount at the Dog & Doublet on food if you mention the CCC, but the food wasn't that good. A better pub 'The Gate' at Nether Whitacre a couple of miles away is a fantastic pub with exceptional food and Ales.

Very impressed with the site and the location. Site was pretty much immaculate and all staff super friendly and helpful. Great proximity to road connections and this led to the only problem for us. Through the night there was the constant 'throughmb' of planes, trains and automobiles. Quite sure earplugs would have sorted it should we go again, which is likely. Kingsbury Water Park next door is a lovely place to walk and cycle. Dog and Doublet served good food and ale in a friendly atmosphere.
Recommended.

We have just returned from a 3 night stay here and had a great time. The site is clean and the wardens helpful. Our children liked the playground although it could do with a few more things on it such as a roundabout etc. The site is on Kingsbury Water Park which we loved as it has great walks and activities for children such as the train and adventure playgrounds. There was a family shower room but for some reason it was locked during our stay so we couldn't use it not sure why. It can be a little noisy as we had a group of young people near our tent one night and they made a lot of noise so our two boys had trouble sleeping that night. They did quieten down at 11pm though. Overall a good site.

Extremely helpful wardens on arrival. Guided us to our pitch courteously and professionally. Quickly booked us in with no hassles. We visited at Easter and found the site to be extremely busy and we felt overcrowded in our area, but it was Easter after all. There also needs to be some ruling as to how caravans/tents are laid out, as units were placed in front of us in such a way as to block the entire 'rear' row of pitches, making it an unnecessarily long trip to get our car out. Some units were placed opposite each other, with windbreaks blocking the area between them as well as having an extra car which we thought was not allowed. Other units placed so close, it made you feel uncomfortable walking to the toilets as you felt you were intruding on their pitch. Had we realised about the pitch proximity issues, we would have booked a jumbo pitch, and will do so in the future if we return to this site. Site was clean, and toilets kept immaculate, no problems there despite the site being busy. Play area was basic, but it's nice to have one and our little one enjoyed it. Plenty of cycling, dog walks and fishing in the surrounding area. Kingsbury water park is a good place for picnics and play parks. Our young son enjoyed the train a lot. We did get some noise from the motorway nearby, which did become intrusive at times. Not too bad in a caravan, but not sure how it would be in a tent. We could certainly here it in our awning. A nice site overall, but expensive for what it is, especially if you have multiple children over 5.

Just returned from 3 nights on this lovely site. Our third visit and will return. Used hard-standing on quiet field away from play area. Well drained site with variety of pitch types. Good clean facilities. No dog walk but next to canal towpath and kingsbury water park with loads of paths. Some road noise in distance from motorway. Nice dog friendly pub called Dog and doublet on canal. Very well kept site suitable for families or quiet break for couples.

We visited during the hot spell at the start of July 2013. A site always seems better when the sun is shining as opposed to pouring rain, but this was a site which impressed me for many reasons beyond the great weather we had.
The site was easy to find with a Sat Nav and entrance to the site is controlled and well managed. There is a small, but useful, shop in the reception where they will also order you a daily newspaper. There are two very well equipped toilet blocks, washing up facilities and laundry. The site is flat and well spaced out. On arrival a warden gave me a brief tour of the site pointing out a range of available pitches for me to choose from. The wardens were seen about site regularly and were friendly and helpful. The site was quiet on an evening and there was no rowdiness. There is a smallish children’s play area on site and no dog walk but there is no need for one due to the site’s location.
Immediately from the site there are a multitude of walks to various parts of Kingsbury Water Park (maps are available from reception). These lead to lakes, play areas and woodlands and on the Sunday of our visit the miniature railway was operating which was good for younger visitors. One lake also has pedalos which the children enjoyed but which were hard work in the blazing sun! It is impossible not to notice the motorway nearby and indeed a number of the walks go under the motorway. Of course it would be better if the motorway wasn’t there, but it is and aside from the background noise in places it didn’t impact us too greatly and certainly not from where we were pitched near the play area. The major irritant to us were lots of horseflies and midges which I know are common around water and which I suspect were so numerous due to the hot spell. I suspect they wil be less of an issue in 'normal' British weather and it is hardly the fault of the site or anything they can control.
We parked the car up on arrival and, were it not for the fact that we needed more fodder for the barbeque, would not have moved it all through our long weekend as there is enough to do and see in the parkland. There are a couple of cafes in the surrounding parkland, the best value seeming to be the one by the farm park entrance and which is also the nearest to the site. There are also things like Drayton Manor which are not too far away if you are staying for a longer period and want to venture a little further afield.
The only real downside I would have with the site is the price. We visited in our “weekend” tent and are C&CC members. If I had been paying supplements for using our family tent and not being a C&CC member then I would have felt overcharged despite the quality of the facilities.
A very good site for a family weekend, especially if you can get the weather to make full use of the adjacent facilities. I would definitely visit again.
