  • Family-run site on a farm in stunning south Shropshire
  • A 15-minute drive to Bridgnorth; 25 minutes to Ironbridge museums
  • ‘Leave no trace’ site with lots of wildlife and lovely views
Come and unwind at Monkhopton Meadow Camping, where the meadow is just the place for a peaceful stay in the south Shropshire hills. This is a real natural set-up, excellent for those who are looking to switch off somewhere where it's just you, an open field with splendid views and wildlife, and a simple composting toilet and hand-washing facilities. And if you'd like to try something new, sign yourself up for the on-site clay shooting or animal experiences. A wander around the site rewards you with views of the livestock on the surrounding hills, streams on site and lots of birds singing in the trees. It’s all rather relaxed and gorgeous – and to keep it that way you’ll be asked to respect the natural environment and other guests and to ‘leave no trace’, taking care to remove your rubbish and leave the place as you found it. Shopping local is another good way to have a positive impact on the area – and luckily that’s easily done as it’s only about five minutes’ drive to the pretty village of Ditton Priors for a shop, a café and a local butcher. More shops, places to eat and other amenities are on hand in Bridgnorth (15 minutes’ drive) and foodie favourite Ludlow (half an hour). If you need any extra items, there's plenty of stuff available to hire from the site, including but not limited to food hampers, bags of ice, blow-up airbeds, hammocks, camping chairs, gazebos, an extra tent and a travel cot.

What customers say

This is a peaceful, back-to-basics wild camping site with beautiful views. Visitors praise the friendly and helpful hosts, Lynn and Matt, and the lovely natural setting, ideal for star gazing and enjoying nature. The site offers open space and a playground for children. While some reviews highlight a lack of running water and basic facilities such as a compost toilet, most guests found the site to be excellent value and a relaxing getaway. One reviewer noted issues with the designated campervan pitch, describing it as basic and lacking adequate water facilities.

Non-electric grass pitch (wild)

Liked This is a very quiet campsite up a small lane. There are fantastic views. The fact that it only has one compostable toilet and no water supply means few people camp here, which was what we were looking for. On one of the nights over the bank holiday weekend it was just us and the sounds of nature, no other campers.

Non-electric grass pitch (wild)

Liked Everything! We arrived to an empty field, the surroundings were beautiful. The honesty box was super handy. The compostable loo was clean and there was plenty of soap and hand gel. I had accidentally booked the wrong dates and this was changed with no charge as soon as I realised. It was exactly what we wanted, a quiet campsite with the basics but lots available within driving distance. We had the most wonderful time.

Liked Tucked away off a quiet country lane, a very peaceful and relaxing campsite with acres of space and good views of the countryside.

Disliked Very very basic, with no lighting or running water (if that's what you're after)?!

Local attractions

Monkhopton is just outside the Shropshire Hills National Landscape, so that means lots of walks and bike rides are easily accessible from here. If you’d like a bit of woolly company for your walk, book yourselves in for alpaca treks (short family-friendly ones or longer outings) with Severn Valley Alpacas (25 minutes’ drive). Bridgnorth (15 minutes) is a nice place to wander around too, with a castle and the waterside DanIels Mill to visit; you can also hire canoes in town for paddling along the River Severn. Dudmaston Estate, just outside Bridgnorth (20 minutes from Monkhopton) has an excellent art collection as well as pretty terraced gardens; other stately homes to visit nearby include Stokesay Castle (25 minutes) and Attingham Park (half an hour). For different views on history, go all the way back in time at Wroxeter Roman City or explore the many attractions of Ironbridge (both 25 minutes), which has interactive exhibits at Blists Hill Victorian Town and Enginuity and a tile museum (plus the bridge itself, of course).
