Grassy pitches

  • Dog-friendly grassy pitches just outside of the Shropshire Hills
  • A five-minute drive to the Shropshire Hills Discovery Centre
  • A 10-minute walk to a village pub and shop; fridge and freezer on site
Nipping to the Shropshire Hills to go hiking in the hills and mountain biking through thick woodlands? Kevindale Campsite is peaceful site half a mile from the edge of the Shropshire Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, making it a nifty base for such outdoorsy breaks. Train spotters, gather around too, as the site overlooks the Heart of Wales Line and folks staying here can spot trains trundling by. The large grassy pitches are three miles from Craven Arms, where the The Heart of Wales Line begins its journey to Llanelli and the Shropshire Hills Discovery Centre (five minutes’ drive) has 30 acres of riverside meadows, a museum and an Iron Age hillfort. The market town also has Mickey Millers Family Playbarn for any families looking for quick and easy amusements. There are plenty of places for a frothy coffee, a takeaway, pub grub or snacks in Craven Arms, but if your stomach’s growling urgently, just take yourself off to the village shop and pub, which are 10 minutes’ walk away from the site in Aston on Clun. Any frozen or fresh goods can be stowed away in the fridge and freezer provided at Kevindale Campsite – just pick them back out when you’re ready to rustle up a barbecue or firepit. There’s a washing-up area for you to scrub everything up afterwards and men’s and women’s showers and toilets whenever you fancy freshening up yourself. You’ll also be able to take your dog off to Shropshire's woods, hills, forests and valleys while you’re here, as the site welcomes canine guests too.

This is a peaceful and well-maintained campsite with friendly owners and a relaxed atmosphere.

The level pitches, hammock area, and opportunities for children to play are highlighted, along with the availability of a fridge/freezer.

Non-electric grass pitch

Liked The site was just lovely and the little area in the middle of some trees with a hammock and space for chairs was perfect to sit in the evening and look at the stars. Having the fridge was so handy and the toilet block very clean. We loved it.

C P.

Non-electric grass pitch

Liked Clean facilities, relaxed atmosphere, views of the hills around. Mostly peaceful with a bit of road noise which subsided in the evening and the occasional train passing close by. Good for star gazing and the Perseids meteors. Having fridge and freezer for communal use was a pleasant surprise.

Emma L.

Non-electric grass pitch

Liked A fantastic site for only £12 a night. Stayed in a field with just one other so nice and peaceful. Covered Kitchen area outside to wash up. Shower and toilet block (with good, free shower) was great. There was a fridge available to use too.

Disliked To make this place perfect, the freezer on site would have been working and there would have been a WiFi code available but certainly not complaining for the price.

Non-electric grass pitch

Liked Lovely small and quiet campsite, the toilet and shower block were very clean with plenty of space to hang clothes etc. Lots of space for the kids to run around and play. Flexible arrival and leaving times was so helpful. Kids loved the sheep and the hammock area. Staff were friendly.

Non-electric grass pitch

Liked It is not possible to score this campsite out of a mere 10, and if I must, it gets 20 out of 10.

The warm welcome alone deserves extra points. Peaceful, affordable, beautiful surroundings and clean ample facilities.

Far exceeds any expectations any human should have for a £12 a night campsite.

Non-electric grass pitch

Liked This is the third time we have stayed at Kevindale campsite so obviously it suits us. We can turn up at any time and leave at any time which suits us means we don't have to rush. Washing facilities, showers, toilets are good and kept very clean. There are three fields to chose from, one is well occupied but we chose the one without views as there are plenty of sites to chose from. Nearby town, Craven Arms offers good shopping - excellent butchers, supermarket and hardware store. Good location - easy to get to Church Stretton for hill walking and also to Ludlow. I can see us visiting this site every year for a week or so. Booking went through without a hitch.

Local attractions

The first question on your mind might be: where to go walking first? And there sure is a lot of choice, with all the trails around the Carding Mill Valley and the Long Mynd (25 minutes' drive), including a stream for cooling off and wild ponies wandering around. Mortimer Forest (20 minutes) has a thousand hectares worth of wildlife, including birds of prey and warblers, and Bucknell Wood (20 minutes) has plenty more, such as grass snakes and slow worms. As for those who’d like to take in the scenery with the wind rushing through their hair and two wheels beneath their feet, Carding Mill Valley and the Long Mynd and Hopton Woods (10 minutes) both have mountain biking tracks. Mighty fortresses may also play a part in your itinerary, given that the Hopton Castle (10 minutes) ruins, Clun Castle (15 minutes) and Ludlow Castle (20 minutes) are all so close by. While you’re in Ludlow (20 minutes), scout out if any food festivals or markets are on the schedule.
