  • Dog-friendly site on 15 acres of Onny Valley countryside
  • River for pond dipping, paddling and fishing
  • Family-friendly pub serving food directly accessible from the site
Pooh! Pooh Sticks, that is – if your kids have never played it, a stay at The Green Caravan Park is the place to teach them the art. A river – the small and shallow River East Onny – runs through it for paddling, pond dipping, the aforementioned Pooh Sticks and fishing: pick up a cheap net at the site shop and keep your little shrimps entertained for hours for mere pennies. Once they’re dried off, there’s on-land nature spotting too, at the area set aside as a nature wilderness, a play area and space galore for bike riding or outdoor games. The Green Caravan Park has several riverside pitches, with others on the park island, in the two dingles, on The Plateau, in the play area field or in a five-acre meadow; electric pitches are in a separate field with both riverside and hardstanding spots. The park covers 15 acres of Onny Valley countryside in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty between the Long Mynd and Stiperstones Hills: it’s no wonder it’s been called ‘a little gem’ by previous happy campers. Dogs can stretch their paws at the dog walk and exercise area on site (please keep dogs on leads in other areas of the park and clear up after them in all areas). Food is well covered too: the family-friendly Inn on the Green serves home-cooked food and is directly accessible from the park, and there are several country inns in the local area – steak and ale pies at The Crown get particular thumbs up.

Electric gravel motorhome pitch

Liked: Quiet and clean. Level pitch. Pleasant and helpful staff - we had to contact them because we were significantly delayed on our journey and didn’t arrive till very late. Spacious facilities block with lots of toilets and showers available - more than I’ve seen at other sites. Good for cycling on Long Mynd.

Electric gravel motorhome pitch

Liked: A lovely location and very quiet when we stayed. A nice fairly flat hard standing pitch. A very friendly pub with excellent food just up a path!

Disliked: The site is slightly tired looking with old but clean facilities. Not really a 'dislike' just an observation.

Andrew W. The reviewer booked through Pitchup.com

Electric gravel motorhome pitch

Liked: Toilets, washing and washing up areas kept spotless, very quiet site, Lin met us on arrival and was friendly and welcoming. She suggested we try a walk which was not quite 6 miles, starting from the Inn on the Green, taking in The Bridges(aka The Horseshoes) and my favourite The Crown, worth the effort but wear sturdy shoes.

Disliked: Nothing really, just it was extremely quiet, so you almost felt the need to whisper, we have a camper and you sort of hoped you could shut the doors more quietly 🤔 Currently there are roadworks in the area which are a bit unpredictable, not the site’s fault but it did delay us getting there!

Electric gravel motorhome pitch

Liked: Need a car to get around - it was a stop for us to break up the journey. Clean and tidy - no real issue.

Disliked: It rained for the two nights we were there so stuck a bit in the van - a tv or WIFI reception would help

Electric gravel motorhome pitch

Liked: This site had all the facilities and was maintained very well. The warden was very nice and provided information on walks in this area. A very dog friendly site with an area by the stream where they can also swim. Will be going back there soon for another long weekend.

Please do not come over the Long Mynd - it is unsuitable for towing a caravan. Take care when using satnav as it will take you through very narrow lanes.

Local attractions

Many visitors to The Green Caravan Park come for Shropshire strolls around the calm country lanes and hills, along the Offa’s Dyke path or from nearby village Wentnor. The park is between the Stiperstone Hills and the Long Mynd, which make up the biggest area of heathland in the Shropshire hills: walk the five and a half miles of the Stiperstone Ridge from the Knolls car park for magnificent views towards the Long Mynd. Folk flock to the area for the birdwatching too: keep an eye out for red kites, plovers and buzzards around the Stiperstones, which is a national nature reserve. This is also castle country: Stokesay, Powis, Montgomery, Clun and Ludlow castles are all within easy driving distance. Have a wander around the festival and foodie town of Ludlow after seeing the castle or see the castle, abbey and over 660 listed buildings of medieval town Shrewsbury, both half an hour away. Industrialists will be kept busy at nearby Snailbeach Lead Mine and historic Ironbridge and the Ironbridge Gorge Museums about 15 miles from Shrewsbury: this World Heritage Site site should keep even the urchins happy, especially going back in time to Blists Hill Victorian Town or creeping down the old Tar Tunnel. Closer to your pitch but dating from further away in time, Bury Ditches Iron Age hill fort is between Clun and Bishop's Castle: go on to the latter for more walks, access to the Shropshire Way and the country’s oldest brewery, the Three Tuns. Well-behaved urchins can be rewarded at several family-friendly Shropshire attractions: if they liked Ironbridge they’ll probably be fond of the historic working farm at the Acton Scott estate, featured on the BBC’s Victorian Farm, or getting close to the natives at Telford’s Hoo Farm Animal Kingdom.
