Best-rated campsites in the West Midlands as first signs of Spring show
The first signs of Spring have begun to peep - the sun is shining, the birds are tweeting, and a bright, blue sky lies overhead.
It's the season to get out, go on adventures, and enjoy everything that the lush and wonderful Midlands has to offer.
Camping is one option; our region has stunning green spaces in abundance for a hike to take in the views, before settling down at a campsite and tucking into a well-earned tin of beans.
All jokes aside, a lot of camping and caravan sites offer food or appliances to cook your own - or even better, are near a country pub where you can really get a good meal in.
We've had a look at some of the best-rated camp and caravan sites in our region according to Tripadvisor and Google reviews so you can start planning your next adventure - before it starts raining again.
Wandon Lodge, The Old Youth Hostel Staffordshire, Rugeley WS15 1QW
Rated a 4.5 out of five stars on Google, this Rugeley holiday park is loved for its location - next door to the Chase, golf club and nature trails - as well as its cleanliness.
It is also close by to two pubs that serve locally sourced food - The Park Gate Inn and Chetwynd Arms - as well as several farmers markets.
It is worth noting that the mobile and TV signal is poor - all the better to immerse yourself in the surrounding nature.

Somers Rd, Meriden, Coventry CV7 7PL
Out towards Coventry lies Somers Wood Caravan Park, which has a rating of 4.6 on Google and is described as a 'superb' and 'immaculate' holiday destination.
It has 48 pitches, 19 of which are fully serviced with drinking water, WiFi, heated shower blocks, digital TV reception, and a tourism centre which offers local pub and takeaway menus.
There are also golf courses and fishing lakes nearby - but note that this site is for over 18's only.
