Date of Visit: October 2010 Unit:  Touring Caravan
Reviewer: Paul@julie 58 reviews from this member

 Stayed here so we could visit the caravan show at the NEC. Very friendly wardens even though they were fully booked they still showed you to your pitch, we had a choice of about 3 pitches,

Unfortunately we were on the part of the site nearest to the motorway and didn't I know it, being a light sleeper I did not sleep a wink the first night but then bought some earplugs for the second night and slept ok.

We went cycling around the park which was nice but would have been better in the summer. The highlight was the pub up the road its a bit old but the landlord is a right character and had us in stitches, we would go to this site again just to go to the pub !

Did not use site facilities as we use our own so cant comment on that.

 Hi we visitied this site for the second time our previous visit was four years ago.We found the site to be extremely well kept toilets etc very clean.Grass kept tidy and very short well laid out pitches easy to park! Friendly staff safe for kids to play and not crammed in.

Kids adventure play ground on the woodland walk opposite is brilliant and the smaller one on the park is very good for smaller ones. For those who are that way inclined 3g reception is good!

All waste and water areas are very easy to use and again very tidy! Will be going again! Oh very near Drayton Manor Park

 We booked this site as a last minute getaway as we were visiting the Birmingham NEC Arena and we are so glad this just happened to be the nearest site. It’s fantastic. On arrival we were quickly checked in and shown to our pitch after being given a choice of pretty much anywhere and were pointed in the right direction for all facilities. We were very happy with the check in, the staff and the pitch.

There are two toilet blocks, practically identical to each other. The showers are fab, very spacious and although they’re push button they stay on long enough and are reasonably powerful with instant hot water. Always clean.

There’s 5 toilets in the ladies, 3 showers, 3 cubicle wash basins and three and a tiny wash basin in the open area along with a dressing table type area and changing area with full length mirror and hanging hooks. Hairdryer costs 20p. Very impressed with the facilities. The wash up sinks were nice big square ones, again with instant hot water.

There’s a laundry with washer, dryer, ironing board etc. Everywhere was spick and span. The site is well lit and a pleasure to amble round. Shop/ reception stocks bare minimum but there are supermarkets within a few miles of the site and you can order papers at reception for the next day.

The site is in a fab location for tonnes of local attractions, far too many to list but there is an abundance of leaflets in the information area. We were at the NEC in no time at all (about 6-8 miles) which was great for us.

We spent the following day ambling around Kingsbury Water Park itself which is lovely. There are proper paths and it’s all signposted so suitable for all abilities but there are other woodland paths for the more adventurous which wander away from the gravel paths. We passed four hides which were great and well kept.

The miniature railway at the main visitor centre is good. And there’s plenty to see and do, all within walking distance from the site.

I have struggled to find a negative but if anything the grass could have done with a cut as our feet got soaked with the dewey ground in a morning but that’s not worthy as a negative really. And although it didn’t bother us in the slightest, we were literally backed onto the M42 just about so the noise may bother some but we didn’t mind it.

Excellent site which we will definitely visit again and we will plan to stay for longer next time as a weekend just isn’t long enough. 10 out of 10 from us! 


Date of Visit: September 2010 Unit:  Trailer Tent
Reviewer: Joe999 3 reviews from this member

 We recently bought a trailer tent from someone in Birmingham and so booked onto this campsite for one night to try out our new purchase.

The campsite was excellent, very pleasantly designed, lovely friendly staff who showed us to a nice quiet pitch (to save us any embarrassment as it was our first time erecting a trailer tent!).

There are two shower / toilet blocks each with all facilities such as waste disposal, dishwashing, laundry etc etc. All very clean (they close the toilets for 1.2hrs each morning while they do a thorough clean) and inviting.

They have lots of leaflets and useful information available re location of nearest supermarket / restaurant / pubs etc which makes finding your way around very easy.

Unfortunately as we were only there for 1 night we didn't get to see the farm park or water park areas.

I will definitely be going back to this site next season.

 This is a great little site and very well placed for getting to, it is just off the M42 & M6 Toll motorways. Anyone approaching from the west may want to take into account a rather short & steep hump back bridge on Bodymoor Heath Road (I avoided it).

This was my first visit to a C&CC site and can say I was very impressed. When first turning up on site, I was shown to my pitch by one of the wardens.

The pitches are all very well spaced out and I never felt room was an issue.

There are two toilet blocks and both were very clean indeed and the showers were the best I have been in (plenty of space).

Prior to visiting Kingsbury, I was concerned about two things, the nose from the motorway and if there was anything to do in the area.

I can honestly say I didn't have an issue with either. The Motorway although very close was never an issue, yes you can hear the noise from the road (but I didn't notice it after a minute).

Regarding things to do, you are next to Kingsbury Waterpark, where there are plenty of watersports, a boating lake, fishing, play park, miniature train ride, cycle paths, children's farm etc, this kept us occupied for the weekend we were there.

If you are there longer, there is Drayton Manor theme park and Tamworth Snowdome.

All in all I will definitely return.

Nights stayed: 3 Travelling as:  Mature couple
Reviewer: DawnAnnMason 32 reviews from this member

 Visited this site for the first time for a long weekend at the beginning of August and I must say how very impressed we were. Friendly welcome, nice level pitches that are kept immaculate, toilet and shower facilities spotlessly clean with plenty of hot water - even during busy periods.

Dishwashing area also kept nice at all times and again, always plenty of hot water. Lovely walks around the lakes nearby. Did find the nightly fees slightly high if you compare with other sites that have more facilities eg.Pool / shop, but this would not stop us returning again as it is a very well kept site.

Reviewer: Arewethereyet?? 4 reviews from this member

 Fantastic site. The facilities are brilliant, the toilet/shower block was spotlessly clean. The playground got the thumbs up from our two kids (aged 5 and 2)! The site shop had all the basic provisions you would need, but a Tesco Express is 10 mins down the road and a 24hr Asda 15 mins away in Tamworth. Shown to your pitch by the very helpful warden who kindly guides you in and each pitch is spacious with no overcrowding.

Childrens Farm Park round the corner which is moderately priced, Drayton Manor and Thomas Land 10 mins down the road - not so moderately priced but the kids loved it (Book in advance and save yourself a few quid)!

Kingsbury Water Park is beautiful for both walks and bike rides and the kids loved both of the adventure playgrounds and the Echills Train ride which runs right around the park. The close by canal is also worth a stroll along as there is a very pleasant pub to reward yourself with a well earned beverage!

Will definitely be going back and would highly recommend to anybody else.

Reviewer: Bert2604 6 reviews from this member

 This was our very first caravan outing. What a great site to pick. Very helpful and friendly staff. Good access to the site. Piches very spacious and well kept. Didn't really notice the noise from nearby M42.

Great local walks along canal and the miles of lakes and nature reserves.

Ideal place for families with all ages with walks,bike rides, Drayton Manor Theme Park 10 minutes away, on site playground, fishing and generally nice area.

We used the Tesco Extra 1/2 mile left out of drayton manor. Also chippy, chinese, indian take-a-way and cash point available there.

There are plenty of other shops, pets at home, sainsburys, macdonalds etc at the retail area outside of Tamworth 10-15 mins away.

Well worth a stay at this site and we will being returning.

Reviewer: Puptastic 4 reviews from this member

 This is our second time of staying at this site. The most recent was for 3 nights (having left the worst campsite in France??). The campsite is lovely & well kept. The staff are very friendly & helpful. The facilities (showers / toilets) are immaculate. There is a nice play area and football area for kids. The site has wonderful walks in the surrounding parks with fishing, bike hire, play areas, minature railway & visitor centre. Some of the lakes have water sports etc. During the summer holidays there were different kids activities going on in Kingsbury Water Park. If that isn't enough, then Drayton Manor is a 15 minute drive away. The M42 is close but to be honest we didn't notice the noise. We would recommend this site & will re-visit again in the future!

 I am at the site writing this review. I must admit this is probably one of the best sites I have stayed on so far.The staff here are fantastic, the site is very clean and tidy with beautiful flower beds and fantastic shower and toilet blocks. I have read a few reviews of road noise from the M42, I can't say I have been affected by this even with the van windows open at night. I will return again to this wonderful site without hesitation. There are plenty of places to fish, and plenty of wonderful bike tracks to ride without using a road. Water and electrical hook ups are very close by and elsan points also. There is a children's play area on site which has kept the children happy through our stay here. I don't really write reviews but I must give praise where due as this site has impressed me on all levels. Thanks to all concerned.

 Hi came to Kingsbury campsite in July 10

Myself and my partner had a fantastic weekend

Staff very helpful and friendly our battery in the car went flat and the warden was there to help saved us having to phone the AA out

Would recommend this park to anyone as it is such a well kept clean friendly and the facilities are spotless and cleaned to a high standard. Will be going back the last weekend in July 


Date of Visit: July 2010 Unit:  Motorhome
Reviewer: Guiness00 16 reviews from this member

 We booked Kingsbury as our first outing in our motorhome for a weekend away close to home, it wasn't our first choice but thought we'd give it a go.

Upon arrival we were shown to our pitch & left to set up, being some what green to caravanning thus slightly dis-organised I decided to use our wind breaks as a make shift secure pen using the motorhome so we could let our two well behaved boxer dogs roam in a secure environment while we set up inside. Literally seconds after we had done this a lady from the site office came marching over & from all of 50 yards yelled over at the top of her voice instructing us to get our dogs on the lead.

Kingsbury is a medium/large busy family orientated site, facilities were clean, shop poor, location with it's many surrounding lakes & walks was pleasent though road noise was evident at most times.

We've since been to a number of other C & CC sites & loved them. If you want a quiet relaxing down to earth holiday kingsbury is not the place for you.

Reviewer: Julie5208 3 reviews from this member

 Stayed at the location for the weekend. A great and well maintained camp site, both tents and caravans mixed. Staff very helpful, easy check in.

Security very good and clean and tidy. Shower and toilet block very clean, fresh and warm.

Situated close to the water park, within walking distance. Good pubs within walking distance.

The only disappointment with the site is the cost. £24.00 per night for a non electric hook up, two adults. 


Date of Visit: April 2010 Unit:  Touring Caravan
Reviewer: Sammie.u 9 reviews from this member

 As this is a Caravan and Camping Club site, you get all the frills you would expect from a Club Site ie Good toilet and shower facilities (with underfloor heating - wonderful!) along with areas to do your washing up.

Staff are pleasant and welcoming, but did seem a bit overwhelmed with the number of people queuing to get in and a bit of tension could be felt in the air.

However, you will be shown to your pitch by a friendly warden and we have never experienced any issues relating directly to us. The site is situated down a lane, which can take 2 way traffic with care - proceed with caution with your caravan.

The site is well maintained with a good play area for children to utilise and if you ask the wardens when you arrive, they do their best to accommodate you close to the park area or away as you desire.

The main reception also doubles up as a very small shop for emergency supplies. There are a number of proper hard standing pitches on the site, but hard standing for this site also means rubber matting set in to the grass, which can still get water logged in our experience so bear this in mind. For this reason, the main hard standing pitches are usually taken up quickly.

There are good walks from the site, include around Kingsbury Water Park itself and along the Grand Union Canal. You can walk up to The Dog and Doublet pub, which is not a big walk up the canal and have a nice drink and watch the world and boats go by.

For the children, there is a farm called Broomey Childrens Farm, approx 5 minute walk from the site. You can purchase food to feed the animals, which is great fun - especially with the goats! This is a good site, with good facilities for all the family.

Unlike others, we have never noticed any traffic noise from the nearby motorways during our stays.

Reviewer: SUNFLOWER63 5 reviews from this member

 We weren't disappointed or surprised with the site as were just going to use it as a base for exploring the water parks next door for fishing and walking. The site was spacious with 2 shower and toilet blocks with good laundry and pot washing facilities.

The weather was good in the day but by night it was cold -2*c. The noise of the m42 easily had the most impact on our sleep, but as the weather was very cold at night it may have been a combination of both. The toilets and showers were clean and always had space. We visited kingsbury waterpark on all days and if you visit the part directly next door leave the car on camp to avoid parking charges. The waterpark is divided into two halves with pay for parking at both. If fishing you need to go to the other side of the park to the main visitor centre to buy fishing day ticket from the machine on the day you intend to fish for the specific lakes which are divided between the parks.

The canal is near the campsite and the river is over the other side on the main kingsbury water park visitor centre. For directions the reception and staff are very helpful or check out kingsbury waterpark on website with warwickshire gov site as it is isnt part of the camping and caravan site as the name may suggest. There is a good supply of literature in the campsite information centre with information where to eat and shop and directions available at the time with special offers or promotions with the various establishments.
