Date of Visit: September 2007 Unit:  Trailer Tent
Reviewer: Sooz 20 reviews from this member

 This is a lovely site with fantastic walks from the site directly onto the Chase. The facilities are what you'd expect from a camping and caravan club site but unfortunately I had the distinct impression that campers are a spanner in the works who destroy the ambiance. Maybe it was because it was end of the season and the busy wardens were tired and/or because we were a group of eight units meeting for a weekend (we were very well behaved!) that we were met with a sustained disapproval that kind of coloured what really was a lovely weekend.

However, despite the distinctly derogatory comments made by the wardens about several of the paying customers I would have no hesitation in recommending this site for a quiet peaceful weekend especially if you enjoy hearing the deer and owls during the night and the rooster who takes over where they leave off!

 Brilliant area and lovely walks, sloped pitches as mentioned but we managed to get levelled.Clean and adequate loos etc and good facs for washing dished & laundry. Would be ideal for couples on their own or retired people as it seemed geared that way - we were made to feel uncomfortable as we had teenagers with us who were brilliant and no trouble at all but the wardens were very wary and quite unprofessional making comments to other families about long hair etc!

Site shop ok for ice lollies but no bread or basics but there was a Morrissons 5 mins away and Sainsburys & McD's, KFC etc in Cannock.

All in all a fair stay which the area itself made up for & great wildlife, but marred and not geared for families - not labelled as adult only but may as well be.

Reviewer: Julie + Steven 10 reviews from this member

 When we arrived there was no warden on duty and they didn't turn up until about 9pm a sign on the door indicated which pitches were available and we were easily able to take care of ourselves, only problem was the loo's/showers have an entry code number so it was only when a kind soul took pity on us and gave us the code we could have a wee !

Apart from that blip we would highly recommend this site for peace and long walks in the woods. Our dogs were exhausted by the time we left !

Lots of rabbits, deer and squirrels kept us happy watching in the early morning and around dusk.

Loo's/showers could have been cleaner but the wardens don't seem to be on site much perhaps that is just because we are at the end of the season ? 


Date of Visit: August 2007 Unit:  Touring Caravan
Reviewer: Glallan 12 reviews from this member

 Grassy site set in woodland.  Excellent shower facilities and site security.  Good for exploring local area. Could benefit by having a play area for the kids and can be a bit noisy from the nearby road 
Site can be difficult to find by sat nav. Some pitches uneven but blocks available with help from friendly site staff. On site shop handy for essentials. 


Date of Visit: June 2007 Unit:  Tent
Reviewer: Stevie9398 6 reviews from this member

 We stayed at this site for a couple of nights in June.  On arrival we were met by the site managers who were very friendly and gave us a warm welcome.
 
Our pitch was of good size; giving us enough room for our 6 berth tent, kitchen tent, trailer and car.  There was plenty of space for tents but on this particular weekend the site was mainly occupied by caravans and motor homes.  EHU is available on some of the grass pitches but we did not request this facility.
 
The toilet and shower block was kept immaculately clean.  A combination lock is used to ensure only campers use the facilities.
 
As fish and chip van visits the site each Saturday night.  We noticed a number of campers waiting for this but on this occasion it became clear that for some reason the van was not going to turn up.  However we were really impressed as about 30 minutes later a member of staff came back on site having collected fish and chips in their car!
 
We visited Cannock Chase with our two young children.  There was no play area at the site and no ball games were allowed; but this wasn't really a problem for a weekend trip.  They enjoyed walking on the chase.  We also visited the Cannock Chase Museum which was interesting.

Date of Visit: May 2007 Unit:  Touring Caravan
Reviewer: Horton family 2 reviews from this member

 We stayed here for a weekend in May and had a fabulous time.  The pitches seemed well spaced giving a lovely relaxed feel to the site.  The toilet blocks were clean and the standard you would expect from the Camping & Caravan Club.   The site wardens were friendly and helpful.  The surrounding area is excellent for walking and mountain biking.
 
The only downside, if any, was perhaps the need for a play area, possibly something rustic in keeping with the area, however our children still had a great time. 
 
The other thing is that we tried to book another weekend here but the site is extremely popular so you may need to book way in advance to get in. 
 
Overall, an excellent site and we will defintely return.  


Date of Visit: August 2006 Unit:  Tent
Reviewer: 1971dawnc 1 review from this member

 Great site, clean and well kept. Site managers were very helpful and friendly. Downfalls were the road right next to the site which cars went up and down all night, also the small holding alongside the site had several cockerels which woke us up at 3.45 each morning. 


Date of Visit: May 2006 Unit:  Motorhome
Reviewer: Busterpot33 42 reviews from this member

 What a beautiful site, staff were extremely helpful and went out of their way to ensure we were happy and settled. Unfortunately the English weather had made the surrounding walks into "mud-baths", I wish I had packed my "wellies"! Never-the-less we still explored, such a beautiful place, we only live 20 miles away, I had no idea this site was here it is hidden in a forest glade.

We were lucky we had a hard standing away from the road, I would think it could be quite noisy as it is a very busy road.

Tents, caravans, etc are inter-mingled which I think adds to the friendly atmosphere. Children have plenty of room to play. Rabbits galore, all in all an absolute "treasure"!

This is a very nice campsite situated in a wooded glade, on a gentle slope. We were not members of the Caravan and Camping Club on arrival, so had to pay just under £10 per person per night - a bit on the pricey side. However, the cleanliness and quality of the facilities made up for the high cost. The pitches were a good size too. I managed ok with my normal metal tent pegs. The main road outside the site was a bit noisy at times, and some kind person (probably a caravan-hater!) pipped his horn early each morning! We'll go there again for sure - it's so nice to have a place with facilities that you want to keep clean after you've used them.
One final comment: buy an OS map and compass if you plan to walk the area - Cannock Chase doesn't have well-marked pathways, and there are paths everywhere!!!!

Well kept clean & tidy site. Friendly wardens. Sorry Holiday Site Managers. Basics & ice creams available on site. Fish & chip van calls 7 pm Saturday. Good dog walks & human walks all around. Cannock Chase Museum a couple of miles away handy if weather bad. Nearest pub about 1.5 - 2 miles.
Site is very uneven, needed ramps. Also pegs difficult to get in - suggest take rock pegs. Very sheltered, trees all around so your Satellite dish probably won't work.
