What a spot for vintage train lovers. Wellness Woodlands has a peaceful rural setting in Shropshire countryside near Bridgnorth, and a stay here offers all comers the chance to spy steam engines chugging past the camping field on the historic Severn Valley Railway. Round and about on site – set over 20 acres so there are lots of walks to explore amid woodland planted with native trees – are four wildlife ponds as well as resident geese, chickens and ducks. You may also get lucky and see buzzards and red kites circling above, or woodpeckers among the trees. Kids are welcomed with open arms here, and they can keep themselves entertained at the play area, find rope swings in the woods or head off to discover the themed fairy village. To keep you, your offspring and any dogs safe, no vehicles are allowed by the pitches. This is an eco-friendly, off-grid campsite (note: off-grid equals no electricity), with no-frills amenities including separate showers and an outdoor sink for washing up. If the weather turns, simply take cover at the HUB communal area. As far as catering goes, buy foodie supplies in Highley (five minutes’ drive) or dodge cooking altogether by eating in the pubs there. Back at base, buy fresh eggs for a breakfast fry-up or spread your bread with honey produced by the resident bees. As this is a quiet site, portable sound systems are not permitted. Please be particularly considerate of others between 10pm and 6am. Please note that the site grounds are not completely even and that cars cannot be parked by the pitches (trolleys are available to help you transport your luggage from the parking area).

Non-electric grass and earth tent pitch

Liked: Excellent facilities, views, location and local amenities (can highly recommend the local curry house for a last-minute solution to forgetting to bring some dinner on the first night) The site is a former golf course so is easily traversed and very accessible. We stayed during the Severn Valley Railway’s steam gala - it was a 90 second walk from our pitch to Highley Station. Easy access to the station, the Ship Inn pub and then trains to Bridgnorth etc.

Disliked: Nothing.

Non-electric grass and earth tent pitch

Liked: Friendly welcome on arrival, huge amount of space available for camping and fantastic for some peace and quiet, with the only noise coming from the local wildlife. I'll be recommending the site to anyone I know who fancies a few days away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.

Non-electric grass and earth tent pitch

Liked: Came for a family weekend to celebrate my son's 11th birthday. What a weekend it was. Lovely campsite. Clean facilities, showers available, fridgw to store food, kettle for hot water, trolleys to transport camping gear to pitch. very friendly and helpful staff. Local amenities for shopping just up the road which was great for convenience. Great place to go with kids, plenty space to play games, play area, fairy garden, mud kitchen, walking trails and train tracks close by to watch trains come by every 30mins-1hr. Perfect place for star gazing especially when sky's are clear. Thank you Roger/Jess for running a beautiful camp site. First time for me attending and won't be the last!

Disliked: Mud kitchen was mentioned as available for kids, however was over grown with brambles and nettles, could do with some TLC, however great idea for kids attraction.

Non-electric grass and earth tent pitch

Liked: There was so much to like about wellness woodlands! So much choice of pitch spaces, masses of space and interesting things for the children (4,9) to do and easy no stress check in.. Fridge and kitchen things available to hand, nice clean facilities and brings a large range of campers, expecially with the glamping pod being available, something for everyone. Given 5 stars for wifi even though there is none, because i believe not having wifi is all part of the positive experience. No troubles getting data if needed

Non-electric grass and earth tent pitch

Liked: The location is beautiful, the facilities are great, and the host fabulous! We had a wonderful time this summer at Wellness Woodlands. The hosts could not have done enough for us. The pitch was lovely and we were able to group our tents together. In all there were three adults and 4 kids (4-12), and there was plenty for everyone to do. The shower and toilet block was always spotless and well-stocked! We were allowed to use the plugs to charge our devices and the tea, coffee, and juice was a really nice touch. The proximity to the village coop and the Severn Valley Railway Museum was definitely a bonus too.

Disliked: Absolutely nothing!

Local attractions

Fans of vintage steam railways are in the right place, with the Severn Valley Railway running by the site. Railway buffs can get up close to historic locomotives at The Engine House Visitor and Education Centre (five minutes’ drive), and explore industrial heritage in the museums at Ironbridge Valley of Innovation (40 minutes). If walking and exploring is what you like to do, combine history with a ramble around the industrial remains at Cleehill (half an hour). For countryside jaunts, head for the woodland trails in Severn Valley Country Park (five minutes’ walk) or stroll along the River Wye at Bewdley (20 minutes’ drive). A day spent at West Midlands Safari Park (25 minutes) is a day enjoying safaris around African animal enclosures and whizzing around on thrill rides in the adventure park. For younger kids, Rays Farm Country Matters (10 minutes) has a sculpture trail with dragons and trolls to track down in the woods.
