Our first camping trip of the season, and it got off to a great start. Due to a nasty virus, I had to leave my OH at home, so set out with my 2 children 6 and 10, to meet some friends at this site. The site was quiet with no other tents and perhaps a dozen caravans / motorhomes. The ground was very wet and muddy, but the warden allowed us to wander around the site to choose the best pitch for us. We were told we could have as much space as we wanted because they were quiet. I set about pitching my Indiana 8 with just the help of my 10 year old son. No easy task, but before long the warden came back to see how we were doing and helped us to finish pitching and pegging out the tent. The showers etc were immaculate despite the muddy site and hot water was in plentiful supply. A great information center and really helpful and friendly staff. The site is very quiet and has lovely views. There are lots of great walks from the site and you can buy photo copied maps from the office for about 30p. This is well worth doing. My kids loved taking it in turns to be map reader. Lots of things to do in the area as well. Black Country Living Museum really worth a visit. Birmingham is not far away. My only criticism is the sign posting on the lane leading to the site. We watched a lot of caravans being towed past the site because of lack of proper signs, so care is needed. A great site in a great location with really lovely staff.
The welcoming and helpful staff booked us in, even though we gave them little notice, for the late August Bank Holiday weekend. The campsite was almost full - but not cramped at this busy time of year. Facilities were very good with a squeaky clean, modern shower / toilet block and washing-up area, plenty of hot water, and small playground for the kiddies. There is an additional toilet / shower block near to the office for when the main one is closed for cleaning. Many of the pitches have electric hook ups and some of the pitches are screened by high hedges - in fact the whole of the site is sheltered by high hedges and trees. There are some areas which slope, but pieces of wood are provided if chocks are needed.
The campsite is dog-friendly but dogs have to be exercised in the surrounding country lanes and there is no safe area nearby where they can be let off the lead.
We didn't realize that the hard working staff had also arranged all sorts of fund-raising activities for the weekend (because of the campsite's 70th anniversary) and the festival of lights, sports events, cake-stalls, auctions and book sale etc etc were an added bonus which was enjoyed by all and added to the already friendly atmosphere.
There are shops and a pub serving food in the nearby village of Romsley, but they are a good 15-20 minutes walk in hilly countryside. Otherwise, Romsley is just a short car journey away.
The campsite and facilities, surrounded by some stunning scenery, are well maintained, the staff helpful and friendly. I'm sure we'll be returning as often as possible in the future.
A beautiful picturesque site over looking the Clent Hills in the Black Country just West of Birmingham.
The site entrance is clearly signposted and is down a quarter mile single track lane (there is a place to pass midway).
We had a warm welcome and were shown to our pitch which had EHU (in fact the vast majority of the site had access to EHU – which I think is good these days, of battery powered video, cameras, mobile phones, fridges etc).
The site had an equal mix of caravans and tents when we were there, with I would say 1/3 being hard standing pitches.
When I booked the site directly, I did say that I had a large 8 meter tent (Khyam Ridgi pod with 3 bedroom pods. In the Khyam catalogue the footprint plan (with all bedroom pods fitted) is shown as being 8.7m x 8.4 m) The lady said that would be fine. However, when we put the Ridgi-pod up the Manager claimed we were putting up a “marquee” and using a scientific measuring system of pacing out the tent by striding on foot, claimed it was a 10 meters and she was going to update the C&CC computers so that if we going to any C&CC site they will automatically book us a pitch and a half. It was a beautiful sunny day and I wasn’t going to argue… but will argue the point with the C&CC club about the dimensions of a Ridgipod.
The campsite office sold a few very basic provisions such as milk, eggs, etc and it had a beautifully laid out Information centre room where you could go in and browse all the local attraction leaflets.
There is just one loo/shower/baby changing/washing up block. So, if you are bursting to go to the loo and they are closed for cleaning, there isn’t another block to use – you will just have to jiggle up and down till they have finished. The block was spotlessly clean and well thought out with attention to detail, such as space around each basin to lay out wash bags (surprising amount of sites have basins crammed on top of each other so no space to put towels, wash bags etc). Lots of hooks to hang towels and wash bags on around basin area, and in shower cubicles. Water was hot and pretty instant, and was not on a timer so that it kept turning off.
The site had a small simple playground area consisting of a couple of swings and a slide.
No clubhouse, or any other amenities, and frankly that was what I liked about Clent Hills, a lovely quite campsite, with a beautiful view of Clent Hills and within short distance of Cadburys World, Black Country Museum, Shugborough etc.Some of which we went to see during out stay. I heartily recommend this site.
Just returned home yesterday after a very wet Saturday and (not so wet) Sunday. The staff were very helpful and friendly. This is a small site, which we prefer, yet the pitches are spacious, we had a sun canopy (not that there was any!) and a pup tent on our pitch. There is a small park, but enough room for the children to run around.
Two things go against this site for us: they close the showers at 10.30 until 12. for cleaning which seems crazy to us. We like to have a relaxed morning, cook a good breakfast then have a leisurely shower, which maybe around 11. Not everybody is up at the crack of dawn! Why not close them at 2 when most campers are out for the afternoon.
Our other little comment would be that this weekend it was cold! really cold and yet the heating in the toilet block was on a minimum, waste of time if you ask me.
Nice and compact site. We stayed for 4 nights, having to cut short our stay as the rain only stopped for one day and our tent was about to give in on us. Good drainage on site though considering the amount of rain we had.
The staff were very friendly and helped us with the local area and information.
Toilet block great, lots of sinks and toilets, only 3 showers which I thought was going to be a problem but there was never a queue. Dishwashing facilities nice and clean, could have done with a couple more sinks.
Site in a good location for all attractions and shops, large Morrisons 5 minutes off site.
We visited Cadbury World, which was great for the kids and for adults, well worth the money and we got the day out of it.
Playground good although not huge, and tucked into a corner away from most pitches. Overall good site, and would visit again.
Bredon Vale Caravan And Camping overlooks Bredon Hill and the Malverns, and is only 25 minutes from the Cotswolds, Stratford Upon Avon and Evesham Vale Light Railway. Set in an orchard of over 100 fruit trees, this dark-skies site has tent, caravan and motorhome pitches, grass or hardstanding, and optional EHU. For glampers there are log pods, a vintage caravan and a bell tent.
Facilities include a heated amenity block with toilets, showers and a family room, information point, laundry room and a washing up area. Natural kid's play area with some outdoor games to borrow. Shop with campsite essentials, and fresh produce often available. Local pub is just a 15 minute walk from the site. For extra supplies Tesco and Chadbury Farm Shop and Cafe are both just a five minute drive from the site.

We stopped here in May 2007 for a long weekend. It is a perfect site, the shower blocks are fantastic and the camping field is spotless.
No cars are allowed on site after 11pm so you won't get woken up by car doors slamming. If you do arrive back at the site after this time there is a car park by the entrance where you can park for the night. There is a security barrier at the entrance.
The staff are very friendly and will always help you. They sell essentials in the reception room such as milk etc
There is a little village 15 minutes walk away where there is a shop and a lovely pub.
Perfect for walking and cycling around the Clent Hills.
Book early if you intend go stay there over a bank holiday though as it fills up very quick.
Bought a tent from ebay in this area, and went straight there to test it for the night- we called the site a few days before- to see if they had room for us, and they said they were fully booked, but would make space for us. Pippa and Ben (both 4) loved the play area and made some new friends. We heard 3 different types of Owl during the night, Toilets and showers- as always with c&cc sites - were clean and well cared for. They have giant Jenga and a large chess set for use- books and necessities- eg ice cream in the shop- and an information room with leaflets of where to go. A Pub called the Swan at Blakedown (Banks Brewery) was very welcoming - and had a bouncy castle and play area for the kids. And the Dog enjoyed some of the best views in the Country on the Clent hills (NT). Despite being so close to Urbanisation, it was heavenly, rural and we have broken the dog and the kids! PS take some hard ground tent pegs!
July 2005 We are regulars at this site and always have a great time there. Wardens are extremely helpful (but I'm sure I heard that this is their last season here and someone else will be taking over). Clean facilities, basic supplies at the shop/reception, hook ups, small playarea, good information room with leaflets/maps,etc. Lovely pub down the road from there in Romsley village called The Sun. Nice meals and a play area for the kids. Also good little mini mart shop practically opposite the pub. Excellent carboot sale just further along the road from The Sun on a Sunday and also a good one on a Saturday at Wassell Grove (approx. 2 miles away). The site also does caravan storage too.
July 2005 This site is perfect for al. Clean toilets, friendly staff, good playground for kids. Problem with shop as it is only small and only open in the morning for an hour and afternoon for hour and half. However as it is close to nearby towns with a village and shops just 1 1/2 mile down the road this solves the problem. Ground does slope. Mainly used for caravans and motorhomes although there are tents and trailer tents at peak seasons. On the whole a very quiet, peaceful and pretty site and a must to visit for a rest.
July 2005 Have just spent a weekend here, what a lovely site, and the wardens are super, so friendly, nothing too much trouble, very welcoming. A short walk takes you into the hills, the views are marvellous, there is a small cafe to get a cup of tea etc. Another short walk takes you into the village of Romsley, where there is the local shops and 2 pubs who serve great food. No need to use the car, unless you want to go further afield, we found it very peaceful and relaxing and intend to make it our weekend hideaway!
