  • 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.

Great views, peaceful vibe, & friendly owners. Clean facilities, esp. showers/toilets. Alpacas a hit! Cafe's good too. Minor points: distance to facilities, bumpy road. Highly recommend for value & quiet country escape.

Keeley F.

Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite

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.

Rachel D.

Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite

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.

Omar A.

Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked 1) Peaceful, quiet, and relaxing atmosphere. 2) Affordable and great value for money.
3) Convenient location, close to West Midland Safari Park.
4) Clean toilets and showers.
5) 4 showers and 5 toilets available – no queues during our stay. 4 showers and toilets are together which means no more than one person can enter the shower/toilet unit at a time. One of the toilets is on its own (Cloakroom).
7) Cosy café serving sausages, sandwiches, toasties, and hot drinks Café food and drinks reasonably priced. Two phone charging points available at the café.

Disliked Toilets and showers are a bit of a walk (200m) from the camping area. Need a torch for night trips to the facilities. Limited charging points – recommended to bring a power bank. Would be better if there was a toilet closer to the camping area, especially for night use

Victoria H.

Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked Lovely outlook over the surrounding countryside. We enjoyed walking around the site looking at the alpacas, geese, and the fishing lakes. The gentleman on reception was lovely. The toilets and showers were spotless and quite modern.

Disliked Bit of a walk to the toilet facilities along an unlit path.

Worth a visit even for a couple of hours, cafe on site.

Lucille S.

Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked Myself and grandson (3 years old) stayed at Wassell Grove Camping site. A hidden treasure not far from central Birmingham. It was a 2 night stay and just as well as we forgot to bring the all essential cooker. The staff at the site were helpful and went to the local shop to get me coals for the BBQ we had brought which was our saving grace for the evening meal. The campers were a friendly bunch and helped us put up our tent as our camping experience was limited. I would highly recommend the site a lovely oasis from town and would make for a good day out with young children and a picnic for a couple of hours as there are Alpacas and fishing lakes on site, failing that exploring the through the woody grounds is enough to keep the children entertained. The camping grounds are level and well kept, good,roomy, clean bathrooms and toilets. P.S my grandson thoroughly enjoyed his visit. A big thankyou to the Wassell staff for all their help.

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).
