Just been over Cannock Chase to take dog for a run she does'nt walk and found this camp site. Springslade Lodge WS12 4PT.

Thought it might make replacement for Tackeroo if closed . www.springsladelodge.co.uk

Hi Graham,

we have been working on the site to fix the problems forcing it closure , we should have the site up and running again for April please keep an eye on the web site for further details or contact me again within a month, we will know more then.

hope this helps

Will let you all know when I hear any more. Plenty of other sites to meet at up on the chase if this one is a problem.

Thanks to mikexgough for noticing that Tackeroo is open again from 1st April

See: http://www.forestry.gov.uk/website/recr ... aravanSite

I've just emailed the Ranger to see if we can use it from 11.00am on Sunday 18th as a Day meet.

See last years posts for lots of photos, the site has NO facilities so OK for a daymeet. Other campsites are nearby with positive reviews incl http://www.springsladelodge.co.uk and http://www.siteseeker.co.uk/aspx/detail ... priority=1

Tackeroo is on Cannock Chase, there's a visitor centre nearby and lots of other activities it's a good day out if the weather's ok.

Nice one Jamie, I'll start a list as soon as the Ranger confirms.

Hope your mum enjoys but note the lack of facilities....

So it was you muz :lol:

Had the chat, Definitely confirmed that it was available :D. but this year we can't use the Site for free for the day meet - They would like to charge £3 per vehicle - same rates as the more crowded visitor centre. This seems reasonable - does everybody agree?
