 Making a return to this wonderful site, so bear with me whilst I catch up on my reviews!
So for this trip, I'm taking a very local trip to my local Camping and Caravanning Club site in Cannock Chase which is an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB).
Preamble: Usually I'm a family camper, with my outwell polycotton tent which weighs an absolute tonne with all of the challenges of packing into an estate car, with the biggest roofbox available, with a growing family, dog and growing amount of stuff to bring. NOT THIS TIME! Cheap 2m x 2m tent this time !
Basically I was temporarily chucked out of the family home as the wife had booked several of her friends around for a night of jollyment and I had to scarper off and find my own accomodation for the night. An option was a £110/hotel. Or I could go up the road to my local campsite and freeze my **** off for the fraction of the price ! I'm glad I did !
Booking Process - booked as a member on the C&CC app - slightly problematic but after several attempts I got lucky.
Arrival - after a trip for provisions as the local tesco superstore (Hednesford), I arrived and parked in the visitors car park. Checked in reception, and was greeted by a friendly warden couple. We had a giggle about my circumstances for the evening and I was then shown to my pitch which was in the furthest corner of the site. On our way to the pitch the friendly chap explained that the glamping tents were being removed (they had gone) - in my opinion a great move as they took a massive amount of space of the premium pitches on the site which were never used! It also became clear the issues I had when booking were due to the fact they were closing off many of the grass pitches due to the wet weather before the site closes end of Oct.
Site - lovely peaceful location in cannock chase with walks and trails directly from the site - literally on your doorstep. Trees all around and some sheltered pitches. Well mown grass. Small number of seasonal pitches as well as electric hardstanding, electric grass (conditions permitting) and non electric. One way system and code controlled entry date. On a busy road through the chase which can get busy but wasn't too bad actually.
Facilities - single laundry /dishwashing/ bathroom block in the style of wooden alpine buildings, same as reception. Local maps and info. Reception has a small shop with info about local areas in adjacent room with leaflets as well as info about trails next to ulltilities block. Small play area for the kiddies, but id say more of an adult oriented site.
Overall - I had a relaxing time considering time. Of year. So peaceful. Lots of walking to be had and maybe mountain biking if that's your thing. Hednesford Hills raceway is a stones throw away for you petrol head fans but can be heard when there is a meet on like there was when I visited. When nightfalls it is eerily quiet with calls of owls foxes and badgers.
NB. No mobile /data signal on the site, it is available just down the hill towards hazelslade and hednesford, so bear this in mind. There is free wifi which I found useable for whatsapp and basic browsing, but it does cut out periodically and is certainly not fast or ultra reliable, so take a good book, games or download content for consumption before you leave. I picked up a chippy dinner from Trocadero on Sharon Way in Hednesford
ALL IN ALL GREAT SITE. ! (sorry for detailed review 😁🤓).

Peaceful, well maintained site in a woodland setting on the edge of the Chase.
A great location for outdoor enthusiasts with walking and cycling trails directly from the site.
Excellent facilities, sufficient for the large site.
Friendly & helpful wardens.

Great location for the forest for walks and mountain biking.
As previous reviews have stated the wifi and phone signal is not great. There is a pay phone in the information room.
40 minute walk to The Chetwyn Arms, lovely village and pub.
First time I've ever had to pay 50p to put freezer blocks in the freezer.
The site is card only no cash.
Very clean and tidy site.

The site was excellent, it did what it said on the tin.
Warden was very welcoming and informative.
Like the fact you're not told where to pitch, but go where you like.
Definitely stay again.

Absolutely typical club site, very clean and efficiently run but very bound up in the rules.
The Wifi was very poor and unusable. The website for booking club sites is frustrating if you want to get prices for a stay before you book.
Location is good, with good walks and cycle tracks available from the site. We enjoyed Canock Chase which was a new area for us.

6m between units. But the large pitches are supposed to accommodate a 6m tent.
But When the large pitches are only 10m the 6m rule doesn’t work.
It’s a New rule “due to fire risks” but you can park a car in the 6m. Obviously cars don’t catch fire!
Tents between lodges are ok though, it seems the lodges don’t catch fire either.
Arrive before 1 and you won’t get in to the site and there isn’t a place to park outside if you have a trailer/caravan.
Toilets cleaned between 10 and 12. So when you pack up and leave (before 12). There is no where to take the little ones for a toilet before you set off.
WiFi. Forget it.
Fish and chip van on a Saturday good. Just order very quickly as they run out. Great site for Cannock forest etc.

A beautifully kept campsite on the edge of Cannock chase. Toilets, showers, laundry all immaculately clean and warm with piping hot water, soap and loo roll provided.
The on site staff are really friendly and welcoming - couldn’t be better. Here’s a big shout out for Pauline and hubby Dave.
The only issue is the appalling WiFi and terrible mobile coverage meaning it’s really hard to order a takeout from the nearby town of Rugeley.
Campers with cars have the best option as they can nip out to shops etc, but everyone with a motor home knows this isn’t easy to do.
