Church Stretton Camp and Fish (Oaklands)

Positiv: Absolutely wonderful campsite - have just spent the weekend there with family, including young children - it is spacious and peaceful, a real away from it all bolt-hole . The speciality appeared to be the fishing but we had fun on/in the swimming lake and simply chilling out in the friendliest campsite i think i've ever been too! The owners were so warm and welcoming - a real treat - thank you !

Positiv: We had a great time, helpful owners, very clean, hot water in the showers, good fishing spots and good-looking fish. We rented a wooden wigwam, enough space for two people, overall a great place to rest, the only small minus was that the wigwam had no lock, it was enough to installing a regular padlock holder costs very little, but you can feel safe leaving your personal belongings when going for a walk or shopping. We will definitely come back.

Positiv: Friendly staff come round and check up to make sure everyone’s having a good time or if they need anything, nice to be greeted in the morning too for a little chit chat as well! Toilets & sink area very clean Free upgrade to the lakeside or forest (we chose lakeside) due to the meadows being too wet! Great location for fishing, there were a few groups on our stay and they all seemed to be catching lots so it is well stocked!

Vom Platzbetreiber: Thank you very much. We try and check in on campers and have a chat (but without being intrusive), and glad the toilets and shower were up to your standard. I'm also pleased to report the meadow is now dry as a bone (we're finally able to drive over it with cars again). Hope to possibly see you again in the future.

Positiv: Nice environment, attentive staff and reasonable prices. Beautiful pitch and site. Super clean toilets. Church Stratton nearby to grab last minute bits.

Negativ: Bit boggy but that's to be expected with all the rain they've just had

Vom Platzbetreiber: Thank you very much for the review. It was indeed extremely boggy when you came (which is why we have so many jobs to now catch up with, now the sun has returned lol). Thank you again, hope to see you again in the future.

Positiv: Felt like a perfect mix between wildcamping in a rustic context and having means to good facilities. Everything about the service was great and we enjoyed the stay.

Vom Platzbetreiber: Thanks Will, i can only imagine how wet the site was in February. We hope to see you again in the summer, the site will probably look very different (i.e dry, trees in bloom etc)

Positiv: Very friendly staff and a great place to stay

Vom Platzbetreiber: Hi Debbie, thank you. Now the rain has gone and the sun has returned, we hope to see you again soon.

Positiv: Myself and my son really loved the area that the campsite was set in, the fishing lakes are well stocked with fish. Our hosts were very friendly and helpful. We had 2 lovely nights sleep. We also loved the quad biking. Also good facilities 😊

Negativ: Nothing!

Vom Platzbetreiber: Thank you Amy, we're glad you all had a good trip and hope to see you again in the future.

Positiv: Everything!! What an unbelievable find, such an amazing place - opted for the forest floor camp and it truly felt like wild camping, spots are nicely spaced out and it feels super private and peaceful. Our particular area had a great view overlooking a field of horses but there are also spots tucked away deeper into the forest. The meadow and lakeside camp spots looked equally inviting and perfect for families. Facilities are great, the toilets are super clean, and showers nice and hot. Pitchup is full of a lot of the same campsites, plain grass fields with little to no amenities and activities for around £80 a night, so to find somewhere this incredible with the option to swim, fish, quad bike, and a rifle range, for how affordable it is, is really remarkable. The owners should feel such pride for the incredible space they have made available for people - they are also super friendly! Miraculously even helped us out with a tent when we had forgotten the inner part of our own and saved us a 4 hour round trip to retrieve it lol. The location is great and easy to find, and the local town is only 10 min drive away if you need to do a food shop/want some fish and chips :) but when you are back at the campsite you feel far away from everything which is perfect. My boyfriend and I were already talking about our next visit on the car journey home and can’t wait to take our friends and family. My one wish is that I had found this place sooner in the year! But our stay was faultless and a beautiful way to see out the end of summer. Couldn’t recommend more :)

Vom Platzbetreiber: Firstly, i must apologise for the delay in responding to you (we've basically been hibernating over the miserably wet winter lol). Your review was absolutely lovely: i actually got goose bumps reading it - especially when you refer to the "owners pride" - which means alot, because we are indeed proud of what we offer (we know we're not perfect though lol) .More than anything though we're just happy you (and so many other campers) enjoyed yourselves, and it would be our pleasure to host you again. thank you x x
