A new caravan park and campsite that is sure to be a big hit with the kids is set to open in Staffordshire next year.

In partnership with Drayton Manor Theme Park near Tamworth, the Camping and Caravanning Club have announced the opening of a new 90-pitch site from March 29th 2012.

Within easy walking distance of the popular theme park, the full-facility site will be ideal for families looking for activities to keep them entertained during a caravan holiday.

Bound to have the kids bouncing with excitement, Drayton Manor has several thrilling rides and attractions including a Ben 10 rollercoaster, Thomas the Tank Engine Land and a 15-acre zoo.

Announcing the new partnership, Bob Hill, club sites director at the Friendly Club, said: “Drayton Manor Theme Park is one of the UK’s most popular family attractions and I am sure this new site will be a great addition to the network and for tourism within the area.”

The Club Site at Drayton Manor follows the success of two sites next to equally popular theme parks – Gulliver’s Milton Keynes at Gulliver’s and Alton, The Star adjacent to Alton Towers.
