  • Peaceful site set over 20 acres 10 minutes' drive from Stourbridge
  • Half an hour from the West Midland Safari Park and Cadbury World
  • Family- and dog-friendly site with three large fishing lakes
Rods at the ready, folks – Wassell Grove Camping and Caravanning is rather more than a mere place to lay your head for the night… this 20-acre site also happens to be one of the West Midlands’ finer choices for a spot of fishing. Not one, not two but a generous three lakes await your bait here, with carp (often in excess of a hefty 10lb), bream and roach among the critters you may hook from the waters. Eager anglers should find plenty to keep them happy here, but there are also areas suitable for beginners… perhaps it’s time to start instructing the nippers in the fine art of fishing? And if you fancy staying here but have pretty much zero interest in fishing? That’s completely fine: non-rod-wielders are equally welcome to stay here and enjoy the peaceful woodland surrounds, perhaps using the place as a base for some lovely local hikes or family days out (Cadbury World and West Midland Safari Park, both less than half an hour away, would be good places to start on that front). Eats can be had throughout the day at the site’s own café (with both hot and cold dishes on the menu) or you can get the coals stoked on your barbecue; supermarkets are 10 minutes away in Stourbridge for supplies. Hagley, a few minutes’ drive from the site, has a couple of pubs for pints and meals out.

What customers say

Great views, peaceful vibe, and super friendly owners. Showers and loos are spotless. Alpaca encounters are a big hit! Cafe's good and fairly priced. A few found the loos a bit of a trek and the road rough, but it’s ace value and a lovely, quiet escape.

Camping pod (three person, no electricity)

Liked We love it at Wassell Grove and have booked for the same time next year before we checked out. It’s the perfect location for our family with children of mixed ages. The site is run by a lovely and helpful family too and we always feel so welcome - plenty to do nearby if you’re looking for a nice relaxed break away - highly recommend!

Elizabeth C.

Unpowered grass tent or trailer tent site

Liked Loved everything, I come here regularly, owners are great, when I want to escape the grind and when I just need peace, quiet, some beautiful grounds to walk and a good sleep, I always return here after venturing to other destinations.

Disliked The arrival of a person with his bike, that lacked utter common sense and space awareness. He literally pitched nearly on top of me, when there was enough room and space to pitch at a reasonable distance in the same area I was if necessary. This was nothing to do with the owners and it was not their fault. Just a Mr clueless, I didn't say anything as his lack of awareness or not care attitude didn't disturb my peace in reality, just invaded some personal space unnecessarily.
If the grounds were empty with no other people around, I would have had to address it as a solo female. Luckily, I felt safe although weary why he choose to pitch so close.

Kathryn B.

Camping pod (three person, no electricity)

Liked Lovely site, ran by lovely people- great hospitality. We booked a camping pod, which made a change for us as we usually camp in a tent. It was very comfortable. The fire pit and patio area was a bonus, as the area got very dark at night, make sure you bring a torch 🔦 showers and toilets very close, clean and functional, fishing lake beautiful and alpacas on site was a nice addition - would definitely book again

Disliked The road coming into the site has many potholes, drive carefully

Sian P.

Unpowered grass tent or trailer tent site

Liked I liked that the facilities were very clean and maintained. The alpacas were a lovely treat for the kids (and adults). The fishing pools were fantastic. Owners very welcoming. Showers were spacious. Overall a lovely little campsite.

Disliked The only thing I can Say is the toilets are very far away from the campsite. There's quite a steep hill to get to the facilities which could be challenging for some people.

Keeley F.

Unpowered grass tent or trailer tent site

Liked Staff were very helpful, friendly and polite.
Dog friendly. Very scenic. Three fishing lakes..
The view from the campsite was spectacular. Loved the alpacas.
Cafe and shop open from 7am till 2ish.
Toilet facilities fantastic and clean.
Other campers were all respectful enough to not be awake/loud after 10.30pm

Disliked The toilets were pretty far to go in the night from the tent. Take a head torch.

The road to the campsite was quite off track bumpy.

But I wouldn't let these put you off a fantastic place.

Unpowered grass tent or trailer tent site

Liked Small, intimate camping area. Clean toilet/shower area and very friendly, helpful owners. Great to have the cafe on site for breakfasts/snacks! Also fun to see the animals!

Disliked Not a dislike, but more a note that the toilet/shower block is a little walk from the camping area.

Local attractions

Want to stretch your legs (perhaps after sitting by the lake for a lengthy period of time)? The friendly folk on site can point you towards the best places locally for a long walk or a short stroll: a perennial fave around these parts is the Wyre Forest National Nature Reserve – once you’ve seen it from ground level you can take a gander from on high by screaming along the ziplines at the Go Ape adventure park. If you like your outings to make you feel a bit clever, take in a bit of local history with visits to Hagley Hall (five minutes’ drive), the rock houses at Kinver Edge or the Black Country Living Museum (25 minutes). Each one aims to bring its own slice of history to life, so tour all three for an excellent insight into how people lived in the past. Learn about the natural world instead at the West Midland Safari Park (25 minutes away): there are walk-through and drive-through animal exhibits here, along with animatronic dinosaurs and theme park rides for when it’s time to take a break. Sweet-toothed guests also mustn’t miss out on a trip to the chocolate-themed extravaganza that is Cadbury World (25 minutes).
