Value for Money
Value for money particularly if they are doing a mid week deal. Excellent access to motorways and therefore all the midland cities and NEC. Also close to tourist destinations such as Warwick.
Good facilities. Quiet

Lovely well located site
Excellent site with friendly staff and good facilities. Well laid out pitches. Shower block we used was clean and met all our requirements/needs. Location was great being just off the M42, yet a peaceful site. We enjoyed our stay. Thank you.
Lovely and quiet
Excellent location for NEC
5 min Taxi To station or nice walk then15 min train ride into Birmingham city.
Good location for stopover being in middle of country.
Toilet/ showers clean but in need of upgrading..
Excellent local Chinese.
Not much else in area except the above.
Will be back.
NEC Stopover
Ideally placed from the South West, visited the NEC Camping show, half an hour commute if traffic is bad on M42. First Shower block very dated, nearest entrance, but clean and hot water. Hot water can be tempermental and can turn cold. Becketts Farm shop well worth the walk from site about 15min walk. Parking could be tight for a 7 meter plus motorhome. Remember 10% on presentation of Caravan and Motorhome Club Card. Whilst at the site visited the National Memorial Arboretum, dog friendly and about 45mins from site. Programme Sat Nav to avoid M6 Tolls, use A38. Well worth a visit, good restaurant and open all year. Motorhome parking in the large overflow car park, which is just past the main entrance, £3 for all day parking - payment at reception on entry. Wardens very friendly, helpful information hut. Traffic noise constant from the M42, but didn't spoil the stay.

A perfect introduction to caravaning
Our first time out using our caravan, only purchased it a couple of weeks ago - Chapel Lane is only 20 minutes from our house so we opted to stay local so we could try out our new van.
I am so pleased we opted for Chapel Lane, the wardens were SO helpful on arrive, lovely and offered advice.
Very peaceful location, exceptionally clean (even the mens toilet block, im female and showered in the mens by mistake!! LOL haha)
I would 100% recommend to anyone who wants a little peace of the countryside just a stones throw from the motorway and thriving city of Birmingham.
Perfect site for visiting NEC. Welcoming and friendly. Just some info for dog owners
The site is well situated and ideal for visiting NEC or Birmingham.
Wardens friendly and welcoming. Spotless shower blocks ( one is clearly older than the other but both good ) and a short bit of a dog walk at the back of the site which is well maintained.
The local park is a bit of a hike up a road with no pavement but there is easy access to a field just outside the site ( turn right at the old schoolhouse) .
Be aware that there is obviously a little bit of sensitivity between the site and the static home site next door, there are plenty of signs up in the road about no dog walking, trespassers, privacy etc which are a bit OTT but I guess that there’s been issues in the past with people letting dogs foul.
Any improvements? Not really, maybe a little chair in the well stocked info shed to sit in whilst browsing.
Do take a trip to Becketts farm next door.see their huge pasties, Ten minute walk and breakfast is good. Sunday carvery there needs pre booking. Nice gentle walk across the fields to the coach and horses pub, good beer there but we did have an hours wait for food.
A nice site we would definitely come again and would recommend it to anyone visiting this area.
Bring your binoculars if you like birds, there’s loads around.
A winter visit to Chapel Lane
We chose Chapel Lane to stay as it is close to the area where my wife did her Teacher training course in the early 60's
Mid January is not the best time to see the site at its best but we could see that it would be a very pleasant site to stay on during the other seasons.
All of the facilities were spotless but it was a little disappointing to find that, although I was the only person using the showers each morning the water did not stay hot for very long.
We will definitely be returning but during a "better season"
If you stay on the site do not miss Beckett's Farm shop.
Lack of Atmosphere
Excellent site for travelling into Birmingham and situated in a nice area. Showers and toilets were spotless. We were here for the New Year period but unfortunately the site lacked atmosphere for the time of year. The wardens did say that a few years ago there had been access to a suitable room for a New Year party, but unfortunately this was no longer available, which is a shame. To be fair to the wardens they did advertise a small gathering in the afternoon of New Year's Eve but we couldn't make the time. We would use this site again when visiting Birmingham.
Good site would return
Site very easy to find. We found staff very helpful as after reading some of the reviews were wondering what we would find. Pitch good size and no problem parking up. Yes one shower block had no heating but showers were working but the other which was nearer was fine. Four showers in ladies and really clean, hot water and warm in there as well. No complaints. For us as we wanted to visit Birmingham it was a good distance and didn't take long. Stayed five nights and would return again. Must add the road noise was non existent but did ask where best pitch would be so not to hear it and was more than happy so slept well. We were there over New Year and fireworks in the distance were lovely.
