Oaklands Leisure and Fishery

Beautiful scenery, lovely hosts, VERY quiet surroundings, lots of walks. Love the idea of rolling out of your tent and fishing - will bring fishing gear next time. Also love the wild camping in their lovely woods, made even better by the addition of campfires.

Pitches were very quiet and private and the hosts, whilst always available and very friendly, were happy to let you get on with it and leave you to it which is my preference when camping. Toilets and facilities were very clean.

I couldn't recommend this place any higher. Also, this was my first time in the Shropshire Hills and all I can say is what a well kept secret!!

Nothing! Everything was exactly as I hoped, if not better. If possible, maybe add a freezer near the toilets and water so you can put icepacks in overnight? But I'm nitpicking!

Only thing I would say is that anyone thinking of doing the wild camping should take along some mozzie repellent as there were quite a few in the woods around dusk... A campfire soon sorts them out but we still had a couple of bites between us. But that's all part of wild camping in my opinion. You can't be close to forest and lakes and see no insects at all!

Great place for rest, great owners
I recommend

As soon as we arrived we were welcomed by the owner and his wife, helped us feel at home and could not have helped any more. He took us around the camp to enable us to choose which wild camping spot we wanted.

Not a criticism of the site, but of camping in general.
we were not aware of the amount of condensation that would settle inside our tent overnight, this made the tent VERY cold for the children as well as us. I would take more layers for sleeping and invest in a better/sealed tent.

Remote site, very quiet, only people staying, dog friendly, location suited needs at the time.

There is no dedicated shower and toilet block, only a toilet and shower in a damp dark fishing hut.

There are random developments going on around the site, mostly not linked to the camp area, which is in various states of completeness and looks messy and haphazard.

We had two dogs with us which priced £5 each per night. This made our stay £35 for two people and two dogs for one night. For that price there needs to be more, which other sites seem to manage: facilities, landscaping, function room, bar.

THE PERFECT CHILL
We did the wild camping in the woods. It was amazing to be with nature,the sites and sounds! We cooked our bbq's round the lake each tea time and stayed and watched the sun set there. So peaceful within beautiful surroundings. Our hosts Richard and Chrissie were lovely,so friendly and easy to talk to. Their young helper Joe was passionate in his work and fishing,extremely polite and eager to help,a credit to himself as well as Richard and Chrissie. Most definetly we'll be visiting again,can't wait to return ❤

Absolutely nothing to dislike

Amazing location, lots of tent pitches available by the lake and in the woods. Very welcoming owners, great views, lots of facilities too. Will be definitely coming back asap

Nothing at all

Beautiful countryside, lake and woods.

Hard standing area where we were told to park our camper van could do with tlc

Everything about this place is wonderful. My son and I had a fantastic time, we can't fault anything. Fabulous people, facilities and scenery. And brilliant fishing which was made even better by being able to cook it on the bbq by a campfire. Well done to Richard and Chrissie on such a wonderful establishment and also to Joe for his non stop enthusiasm in teaching my son to fish. We will definitely be back.

Absolutely nothing

Wild camping was a hit!

BRILLIANT
My self, my brother and my 10 year old daughter wild camped for a 2 night stay, it was my daughters first camp and she loved it can't weight to go back.
The site owners are really nice and friendly people, the pitches are great, you can cook over a real camp fire the scenery is magic. you are only a short walk from Wenlock Edge.
I would recommend this camp site to anybody wanting a really good place to camp, it's by far the best place we have found and we will be going back.
