 We stayed here for new year 2009/2010.
The plus points were the cleanliness and the heated shower & toilet block, it was lovely having warm tiles to stand on.
The location is right next to Kingsbury Water Park itself and you can walk to it from the site, our dog's quite old though so we drove to the main bit and the price to get through the barrier is pretty extortionate just to let the dog out of the car for a short walk, I think it was £2.50.
The site itself is just 'ok', it's quite regimentally laid out with no open views and the road noise is constant, it wasn't full when we were there and I can imagine feeling quite hemmed in when it's high season.
I must mention the wardens however who were very friendly and helpful.

This was my first weekend away in a tourer. Easy to book in and showed to our pitch. A little pricey!
The site is well spaced out and grounds are kept well. Site owners were very helpful. My rabbit Reg came along with us and I had some very funny looks when walking him around the site! But he seemed to enjoy it.
There is a noise from the M42, but we got use to it. Travelled 5 mins into Kingsbury village. Walked all around the water park and then up to the canal and ate at the local pub on the tow path.
A very good park and will visit again.

We came to this site for the first time in November 2009 and found the facilities to be excellent so much so that we vowed to return again, little knowing how soon it would be.
We returned for Christmas 2009 and were due to travel up from West Wales on Christmas Eve. However we got snowed in at home, a swift call to the Park and we were informed that they didn't take new arrivals on Christmas Day. However they were very kind and broke off from their Christmas festivities to get us on pitch.
The wardens are fantastic making you feel very welcome.
Barry and Wendy we take our hats off to you and your staff.
We only intended to stay for 3 nights but enjoyed it so much we stayed for the New Years Festivities which were excellent and we got to mix with the many other campers for one night (well recommended)
Now the Site.
Fantastic Toilet Blocks with underfloor heating, very clean.
The Superior pitches are listed as hard standing and these are made up of embedded nylon with a compact surface (other reviewers should have asked why,and they would have been told it was for planning purposes)
Yes they can get muddy but what do you expect in the depths of Winter.
Plenty of Hookups and water points.
There is a short walk down a path to the Water park where we could exercise our dogs out of harms way of the traffic.
The M42 runs quite close but we soon got used to the traffic noise.

Nice site and busy considering its December.
Lovely toilet and shower block and good kids play area.
Lots of lovely walks around kingsbury waterpark.
The only fault I can report on is pPaying £3.20 a night extra for a hard standing which is not a hard standing, its a kind of plastic with holes in sank into the grass and muddy as hell. The standard pitches were less muddy as less used.
We expected the noise from the motorway but have to say we couldn't here it when in bed at night.
Nice pub 10 mins walk away, the dog and doublet.

Have been here once before and do like the location - as previous poster mentioned - the hardstanding is 'grassed over' so we got very muddy! The noise from the motorway did not bother us - our heater was louder! The site is spotless and shower facilities great so just ignore rudeness!
The water park is a fifteen minute walk away - well worth taking binoculars as lots of varieties of birds along route. Its a nice walk with good access and flat ground for those with pushchairs. The water park is fantastic - there are 2 play areas, lots of nice walks, many friendly ducks & geese and a lovely cafe that serves fry ups, hot baguettes and the like. The kids loved the miniature railway and at £1 each for a ride - not bad value for money.
As you have to be off site by 12- It is always worth bringing your caravan round to the water park on the day of departure - it is only £3 for the day and there always seems to be space to park the van and enjoy more time at the water park!
We do like it here and will be back.

One of the best sites we've ever been to 3rd time there. Lots of outside rallies at week ends. Great cycling area, great dog walking. Lovely canals, lakes and surrounding areas.
Minutes away from Thomas the Tank Land and Drayton Manor.
A very well kept site with Nice friendly staff who are only too happy to help and advise. Central Black Country
Will definitely be back soon.

Our family was Mum, Dad, two kids aged 9 & 7 plud our soppy dog.
We arrived to find 5 units in front of us awaiting check in and pitching so after a small delay, we were pitched, but no without problems. I'm good with a van on the back, having done HGV, but the warden failed to ensure that I knew where the hardstanding area of the grassed area was while backing the van up which led to 3 wave off's and a curse by me before the information was passed to myself.
The M42 runs alongside the site and we found the road noise at midnight time to be most noticeable even inside our caravan.
The wardens ensured we knew the exact rules regarding our dog, to the point that I became annoyed at the repeated 'No dog walk on site'.
There are loads of different walks off of this site, but the best in our view was underneath M42 and towards the playground as our kids loved this playground more than the sites playground.
The shower block was always clean, always warm and the water always hot.
The kids farm nearby is over priced in our view but is good value if your on a Grand parents / Grand kids outing as the total space is very compact.
If you stop here, make sure you check out the miniature train in Kingsbury Water Park, it is great and with the extension work under way, it will only get better for the kids.
Both Birmingham and Tamworth are really nearby and this site has easy access off of the M42.

Stayed here over the 'Halloween' week-end to coincide with a Firework spectacle at Drayton Manor Park. A great location quite literally 8 minutes from the Park itself. A lovely Site to the usual fantastic 'club standard'. Facilities as always were superb with the staff as friendly and as helpful as ever. Shops a similar distance to Drayton Manor Park away from the site. We always use Camping And Caravanning Club Sites and were all in agreement ( Wife, Son and me) that this one had probably the best play area that we had seen so far! Only negatives were that the 'noise from the nearby road' was quite literally like staying right next to a Motorway- and all through the night as well. It certainly wasn't peaceful at night. And a bit dissapointed that we had booked 'hardstanding' which was actually 'grassed over'. I book hard standing to remove the mess of muddy feet etc, but grassing over it cancels this out.! All in all though a great site for Drayton manor and other nearby facilities, great for kids to play and run around on, but not one if you want a 'peaceful weekend retreat'!

We stayed here to visit the NEC and found it to be a lovely site. There were no hardstandings available, so had to have a grass pitch following plenty of rain but were very pleasantly surprised that the ground was not at all muddy. Easy access to plenty of walks, cycle paths, play areas and the pub. One small criticism is there are only 2 exits (the main gate and a small pedestrian gate) and no designated dog walk, which meant we saw many owners exercise their dogs on site. Perhaps a couple more gates would encourage use of the extensive walkways surrounding the site.
Shower blocks were immaculate, but very cold, and although posed no problem during our 5 night stay, there were only 3 showers in each. Not sure how busy this would be in high season?
Our first stay at a 'Friendly Club' site, and found it less friendly than others we have visited - not rudeness or ignorance, just generally no chit chat.
We would visit again, particularly for any NEC events as ideally located. There was road noise, but a constant hum which we hardly noticed.

We have stayed here many times before as it is just 30 mins from where we live. It is a brilliant site - the children's playground is clean and well kept same for the showers we didn't have to queue either. The wardens on the site we excellent and directed us to our pitches straight away. We arrived a bit before they should have let us on to the site but there was no one on our pitch so the let us on.
Would have to recommend the pub, the dog and doublet, as it is quite a long walk away but on a hot day it is awesome to look at the lakes and the birds and go for a nice long cold beer afterwards. We went with my mum and dad and my husbands sister and their family we were lucky to get pitches in a circle with all the doors facing inwards but we couldn't have the windbreaks around because of health and safety.
All in all I think this is a truly wonderful site and we will be coming here in years to come.

We spent 3 nights at Kingsbury Water Park and had a fantastic time. The toilet/shower blocks were immaculate and could not fault them in anyway. The children's play area was great too and the kids loved playing there. Pretty much all the pitches had electrical hookup The staff were very helpful and pleasant. There was a lovely pub called the Dog and Doublet which was 20 minute walk along the tow path, which had a lovely beer garden and children's play area. We went with 3 families and the site were happy to put our units together so long as we stuck to the 6 metre rule which was for fire reasons. We were all initially booked into Marston Camping and Caravan park which was a mile down the road but the owners cancelled our bookings for reasons we are still awaiting. Kingsbury Water Park was a beautiful site and I would certainly recommend it, especially if visiting Drayton Manor which was only 5 minutes away. The only criticism would be the road noise from the M42 but anywhere would suffer the same problem in that area and that isn't the fault of the site. I would highly recommend and we will be going back again.

Have visited this site several times over last 4 years.
Very well-maintained, clean loos and showers, small children's play area, very flat site which makes it easier with small children.
Super children's farm 5 mins walk down road, lovely walk along canal to pub with children's play area outside.
Some noise from M42 but only seem to notice at night.
We will be visiting this site again as it is so pleasant and well-located. Only one downside. We always seem to come away feeling well and truly told off by wardens for some minor misdemeanour (despite being quiet and courteous campers).Eg. Not being pitched exactly 6m apart or (unintentionally) parking on the wrong side of the barrier. We do try our best not to make them disgruntled!
All in all def worth a visit. Try the children's train in the water park next to the children's play area!

This is an adequate site which is well situated for the water park itself (literally a few minutes' walk away).
There is a nice playground for the children to play on, but when we visited we found it being used mostly by older children for their ball games so was a bit intimidating for our small child. Ball games etc. Are banned around the pitches so I think that was why they tended to congregate round the play area.
The facilities were very good and there are two different blocks so there was plenty to go round even though the site was pretty busy. They were always clean.
The wardens were helpful, but not overly so and I didn't feel particularly welcomed as I have been at other sites.
When we visited it didn't feel like there was a friendly atmosphere like I've experienced elsewhere. Not sure why this was.
There was nothing wrong with the site at all and I would recommend it, but I just think that other sites we've been to have been nicer, so we probably won't be returning.

Very well laid out site with decent sized - open pitches. Situated in a quiet part of the Water Park, lots of walks round about.
Toilets immaculate and under floor heated.
Staff friendly and helpful, shown to pitch.
Major supermarkets within about 3 miles.
Very child friendly with a good playpark on one side of the site.
Grass pitches were a bit wet after heavy rain - but not muddy or damaged in any way.
Worth a look.

I stayed here with my 7 year old and a friend on her first camping trip with her 3 year old. The site was lovely, well laid out with well maintained grounds and pitches.
On arrival the staff in reception were extremely welcoming and helpful and made every effort to put our units together despite being busy. They helped us find a pitch and advised us on how to set up for maximum use of our space.
The toilet and shower blocks were excellent,clean and tidy at all times. The reception stocked a small supply of basics which possibly could be extended to offer more e.G. Fruit juices, bread, eggs etc. Morning papers could be ordered and wi fi was available.
Both boys (7 and 3) enjoyed the park and space to play ball games. There was plenty of flat space to play on their scooters.
The purpose of our camping trip was to visit Thomas at Drayton Manor and this was an easy 10 min drive away. The children's farm next door to the site was also worth a visit. The canal and water park also offered space for walks, cycling etc.
We ate at the Dog and Doublet which provided a welcome evening meal on our arrival (again just a pleasent walk from the site)and on leaving today we ate at The Granary cafe 2 mins walk from the site.
Judging by the leaflets in the reception there is lots in the area to do for all ages and we will definitely be visiting again soon.
We didn't notice any recycling points.
