  • 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 grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked: The pubs around the site, amount of toilets and showers was good. And the location of the camp site was nice as a 20/30 min drive from some lovely walks and places to paddle board

Disliked: The shop had nothing in it apart from a toilet and a few random bits gathering dust. No food or necessities when camping. When we arrived it said to come and check in after 5:15 as the lady was out, we got there at 5:45 and she was very rude and said she was about to go home and will have to get everything back out of her car as though it was an inconvenience for her. She pointed very forcefully to the sign that says to be quiet between 11pm and 8am, this seemed to be because we looked quite a young group and presumed we would be making noise which I thought was quite rude. We were told it was 20p for a shower, it isn’t it’s free… we tried the shower before using it and all 5 of us managed to shower without putting money in, the pressure isn’t very good however that is stated. It seems a way to make a bit more money. Multiple dogs running around off the lead, 2 dogs came up to my car and started barking and jumping up at me and my puppy and the owner wasn’t anywhere near which isn’t necessarily the campsites fault however it should be enforced to have all dogs on lead at all times.

Electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked: When you arrive you welcomed by such a lovely couple. They are so welcoming and all information is given. The site is so peaceful and the little paddling lake for the children is lovely. We also took our dog and the walks were beautiful for him also.

Disliked: It did rain and the grass got sludgy. But that isn't the campsites fault etc just the way it was.

Electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked: Good facilities with lovely hot showers. We had a warm welcome on arrival and departure. The pitches were a good size. Our tent is 9-10m in length. Peaceful site. We were pitched next to the stream and the kids loved playing in it. There are two pubs within walking distance and a local shop that does hot breakfasts on certain days of the week.

Disliked: Wi-Fi signal was weak/none existent for my network but my husband had 5G most of the stay so it depends on which network you’re with.

Electric gravel motorhome pitch

Liked: A relaxed campsite in beautiful countryside. We had motorhome pitch with EHU. Very reasonable priced. Friends had tent in the rally field which is a lovely lush green field that was not full at all even on bank holiday. Nice little shop (and another in village 2 mins walk away.) Lovely pub just next door, stream and play park for children. Only downside was the smell from toilets a couple of times a day. Toilet and shower block needs updating, but all in all a nice place….

Disliked: Just the occasional whiff from toilet block

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.
