Thank you to the hard working staff for this well kept site, it’s handy both for the motorway and visiting our family in the area. Our fully serviced pitch was by mature trees and in a quiet spot. The toilets and showers were clean and modern with the grounds maintained around the site to a high standard.
Some pitches are obviously for those just staying one night whilst on route but there are plenty for those who want to relax for on a longer break. We used the APP to book extra nights! The weather was rather cold and rainy in March but the showers were warm and we had everything we wanted.
Such a handy site we will be back.
Helpful staff with clean and warm facilities
Stayed here last minute due to family funeral and the staff were very helpful when we needed to stay an extra night going above and beyond to secure booking. When we arrived on a very cold and bitter December afternoon found the toilet and shower block’s extremely clean, warm and toasty which was very much appreciated after a days cycling out in the cold on our 2nd night stay. A great introduction to winter camper van travels which has encouraged us to explore more out of the main season. The location suited us as near family and great chip shop nearby for a nice chippy tea. A lovely part of the midlands and would definitely stay again when next visiting the area.
Perfect for visiting the NEC
We've stayed at this site many times as it's perfectly located for visits to the NEC and our families. Having paid prior to arrival and as we have stayed before, check-in was great as the Site Manager opened the barrier for us to drive in and get set up. The site is always exceptionally well maintained and the facilities blocks are warm and spotlessly clean. There is always a warm welcome from the site staff too.

Most friendly site ever!
Really welcoming and friendly wardens. Clean facilities and plenty of them. Very close to NEC but peaceful and did not feel like it was only just off the motorway.
Great farm shop only 5 mins walk away, really good value cafe and very good fresh produce at fantastic prices.
Heartily recommend this site, especially the lovely wardens.
Thank you 😊
Site easy to get to from M42 and great for dog walking routes
I booked because I could see there would be lots of dog walking opportunities. I found some lovely public footpaths and a good walk to Wythall park. But the toilet block nearest to me was shut, also the washing up facility - bit of a trek to the other one to use.
Then Sunday, expecting a nice quiet afternoon after a long morning walk, just had Sunday dinner and relaxing with a glass of wine around 2pm and peace shattered. The warden managed to cut the piece of grass behind my van for over an hour. I'm not sure why they had to go over the bit right behind my van twice, but the Kubota ride on mower was deafening. It was like being on a building site and I needed a nice stay as I was tinnitus (which went crazy with the noise). I noticed they weren't cutting the grass round the larger units with the awnings on the more expensive stay pitches. They were still driving around on it another hour after that, which at least wasn't right behind my van. I was quite angry and distressed - why a Sunday? Remembrance Sunday too? I won't be visiting again, which is a shame. as I'd liked to have visited the transport museum one day.
One of the best
I cannot praise the wardens at chapel lane enough. They are always friendly and helpful. This was really brought home when I was there last week and had a medical emergency in the early hours of the morning. Despite the late hour(2am) they assisted the ambulance crew to get to the correct pitch and then made sure that everything was ok with the motorhome for me.
Thank you guys it really helped and I am extremely grateful full for the support and understanding, not many places would go to the lengths you did

An Excellent Stopover
We have stayed at this site regularly over the last twenty years as my sister lives in Shropshire and we often visit Shropshire, the NEC and go further to the north or Wales on holiday. It is in an excellent position close to the motorway intersections and also good for access to Central Birmingham. We have a motorhome and always look for sites which are accessible and public transport is good. There are also a number of places that you can walk to from the site, including the Transport Museum at Wythal.
The pitches are spacious and accessible, and the site is open all year. We have never had a bad stay. The wardens are always helpful and the facilities, although a little dated are always spotlessly clean. Bennett's Farm Shop is also a very good attraction within walking distance.
Great stay near to NEC
We stayed for two nights whilst visiting the NEC for the Caravan & Motorhome Show in October. The site warden was very welcoming and helpful. The site had everything we needed. Easy walk to a really good farm shop at the end of the road. The showers looked a bit dated but actually were very clean and really good hot showers. The pitches were spacious, and service points were close to the pitch we chose. We did not have time to explore the surrounding area, but I did notice a footpath just outside the site. Highly recommend a stay here.
Perfect location
Situated in a quiet village yet only a couple of miles from all major routes into Birmingham and surrounding areas. Very quiet site and immaculately clean.
Pitches are level and spacious, plenty of trees but not oppressive.
We visit family in the area and this is our regular site for the purpose.
Our only complaint is that there is only one motorhome service point in the site, it’s a large site and could do with another.
Always a pleasure!
We often stay overnight on the way up or down the country as it is so conveniently located just off the M42, and roughly half way between home and South Devon.
The wardens are always friendly and helpful but more importantly keep the site and facilities immaculate, the dog walking area is handy for quick walks, and you can take a couple of walks from the site. There are supermarket options within a 10 minute drive and an amazing farm shop just around the corner where they offer a discount for club members. Seen some mentions of traffic noise, we've stayed here a fair few times now and have honestly never really noticed any noise from the road.
Transport museum next door is well worth a visit if that's your kind of thing too.
We never really get a chance to stay longer than a night, but say every time we will book a few nights there and explore more of the area.
