campsite near Birmingham Forums

DubPaul

Hi all,

I'm planning my first big trip to France and have all the campsites booked in advance (playing it safe), except for one on outbound trip through the UK.

I will be arriving in Holyhead at 1520 (lets say of the boat at 1600) with wife and 2 kids and need to do about 3 hours that evening... which should bring me to Birmingham.

I can find some sites just east of Birminghan (Hollyfast) but they never responded to my booking request. Other sites seem to say "no children" or strictly no arrivals after 8pm (which would be pushing it for me as I need to take driving breaks for the kids), or are CC sites and I need to be a member??

Can anybody recommned a site just around North/East Birmingham, near enough to the motorway (A41 or M6) that will take me????

Thanks!

Also, I can't drive too far past Birmingham as the kids will be wrecked or I'll arrive too late... I can't stop short of Birmingham as if I leave at 0800 the next morning I will just have nice time to get to Dover.

Hi,

With a tight schedule why not stop on one of the motorway services, say Corley, last on the M6 before the M1 ?

I want the kids to be able to run around for an hour or so in safety... it will have been a long day and I get cranky!

What about Kingsbury water park, Sutton Coldfield. Easy to get to and is a C&CC site.

(Not been myself so cant help there.)

Hi

I was going to suggest Hollyfast near Coventry. do a search on the net for Midland International Motorhomes and contact the park that way.

I know people who have stayed there and said it was OK

Hi Ian
I haven't used Corley services which are run by Welcome Break but I have used the M20 services which are Roadchef, they charge £6 with a £2 breakfast voucher thrown in, Moto also do the same, as far as I know you can overnight at all of them.
