National Memorial

If you go follow the directions in the book, the other road through the village is even narrower. Once you turn off the main road side road is quiet

If you are a member of the C&CC, then there is Conkers CCC site.... I reckon about 10 miles from the National Memorial Arboretum...

Edit: Just read others have already suggested Conkers.  It will be quiet during the week, providing it's not a BH.  We usually pop up to Conkers for the MayDay W/E, when it does get busy, but we've always found it fine.  Not as good as a CAMC site.  I think they have done some re-furb on the toilet block this year.  Still only one CDP and water fill up point though.  They have bookable hardstanding but no serviced pitches...

Drayton Manor Camping and Caravan Club

We stayed at this CL in June specifically to visit the arboretum https://www.caravanclub.co.uk/certificated-locations/england/staffordshire/burton-upon-trent/woodmill-farm/.    It was a lovely quiet site, no facilities but a farm shop, butchers and ice cream parlour on the farm.    It was slightly sloping but nothing that couldn’t be solved with good pitching.   Access was ok although the final half mile is a little narrow but with passing places  

The owner recommended two days visiting the arboretum and I totally agree.  We did one half the first  day and returned to do the second half the next day.   Parking is free, as is entry but they welcome donations.   The cafe is reasonable but we took a packed lunch which we enjoyed on one of the many benches.   I thought it was wonderful and beautifully kept - very thought o provoking and totally agree that dogs shouldn’t be allowed (except assistance).   It’s a very tranquil place and lots of dogs barking, yapping etc - not to mention leaving the possibility of left deposits is not very respectful of those who gave their life serving our country.   The volunteers work very hard keeping  the park clean and tidy with ongoing planting and weeding.   

We also visited Burton on Trent (brewing museum) and Lichfield (cathedral) whilst in the area.  Both were lovely, however Lichfield was particularly pretty with lovely gardens.  

 Not a lot of use for RandR, as the site states "no dogs"!!

Yes - you're correct nth - I looked at this one and discounted it for that obvious reason!  Anyway, thanks to Burgundy - all now booked for July at Lakeside Meadows (just a bit apprehensive about that narrow-ish lane on the approach but am just hoping it will be quiet!!)

 Oops - obviously missed the post that mentioned R&R had a dog, wasn’t in the original post.   Hopefully though my description will help others who want to visit the memorial as it’s very close by and a nice site.  

I think the clue is in their avatar ..... 🙄

Just a bit ED - perhaps I should change my screen name to "richardandrosandmegthe cockapoo"

......only just 3-4 miles away, so haven't been.  I guess it might be busy at times 

Just down the road is Kingsbury C&CC site.  A bit further to get to the National Memorial Arboretum but it's doable.
