Family-run dog-friendly site in the village of Aston on Clun
20 minutes' drive from Ludlow and 40 minutes from Shrewsbury
Easy access to the Shropshire Way and a short walk from local pub

Spectacular views, spacious pitches and only a short stroll from the village pub… that’ll do nicely, eh? Have them all at peaceful family-run Wayside Camping, in the petite village of Aston on Clun. The outlook here is of the Shropshire Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, a gorgeous area that furnishes guests with a very fine backdrop to an afternoon of chilling out or an evening gathering round the firepit or barbecue. It’s also a fab place to take your boots or bike – walking and cycle trails here cater for all comers from leisure strollers to more intrepid mountain bikers. Town time can be had nearby foraging in foodie Ludlow or meandering through medieval Shrewsbury, and there are a bunch of National Trust estates to gawp at too. Back at base, owners Ian and Tracy keep their nifty tourist info board updated with details of various local attractions and events. This quiet site hasn’t gone over the top with heaps of facilities: pitches have electrical supplies and guests have access to a modern toilet block with showers and a washing-up area. A shop is a few minutes’ walk away in the village, as is that all-important country pub (with a fine range of real ales, you may be chuffed to hear).

Shepherd's hut

Liked: Coziness, provided amenities, location

Disliked: Private Toilets for the Shepherd Huts aren't really private and were used by loads of people during our stay and wasn't cleaned AT ALL so became very disgusting very quickly. Definitely not worth the £25. Check out instructions non-existant

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for taking the time to leave a review as all feedback helps us to improve for the future. Regarding the private toilet/shower room, you were given a key to keep it locked which meant that you had exclusive use and no other camper would have the means to enter it. We do not monitor usage of the unit because of this. If it was left unlocked and other campers used it then it would have got dirtier quicker but as we weren't informed of this during your stay then we didn't have the opportunity to deal with it. We will look at check out instructions going forward as there discrepancies in the printed instructions no that we have moved the office. Best wishes Tracy & Ian

Liked: Friendly welcome and conversation with the owners. The Guinness and the food in the bar. The shower block was lovely and clean. The waste area was clearly marked and it was easy to sort rubbish. Nearby castles were fabulous - so even though the weather wasn't great we had a really good time.

Liked: Lovely clean facilities, great bar, tidy site. Quiet location...walkable to the village but realistically a drive to get anywhere with a decent shop etc. Reasonably priced bar meals. Good indoor kitchen area....we only used it to wash up but they had a fridge and books to borrow. Owner was lovely and friendly.

Disliked: Nothing....a little road noise occasionally.

Local attractions

Walkers may like to make their way to the Shropshire Way, a long-distance path that’s been carved up into lots of smaller portions, or head for the hilly heaths of Carding Mill Valley, 20 minutes away. While you’re there, hike up to the top of the Long Mynd for some fab views. Meanwhile, mountain bikers can test their skills on the trails 10 minutes away at Hopton Woods. This area is also home to a fine collection of castles: Stokesay Castle (five minutes away), the ruined Clun Castle (15 minutes) and Ludlow Castle (20 minutes) are all worth a stop. Ludlow’s also the place to pick up local eats at one of the local markets or independent shops. For more historic wanderings, take a trip to Shrewsbury, 40 minutes away, to see the famed black and white buildings, the abbey and another castle (of course). Or take your pick from the local National Trust piles: Attingham Park, Berrington Hall and Morville Hall are all within a 40-minute drive.
