Anonymous 16-amp electric grass pitch
Liked Friendly owners and a pitch with a good view. We were allowed to park our caravan front in first, so we got to wake with a view.
The added bonus of a visiting butcher selling their goods, although we didn't know they were coming, or we would have bought more rather than shop beforehand, same goes for the pizza people on Saturday evening.
Disliked Shower block was very dated, badly cracked floor tiles.
Only one sink in the pan wash area, although was kept clean.
A very dusty site, coming off the field where the horses play.
Pitches felt like they were crammed in, and a lot of campers, caravans and tents in what felt a large open space, but all pushed to the edges

4 days at Newnes Touring Caravan Park
16-amp electric grass pitch
Liked We spent 4 days at Newnes Touring Caravan Park and the sun shone every day, making our pitch perfect for sunset views. We had a partly serviced touring caravan pitch and made good use of the very clean, modern onsite facilities, including a really hot shower every day.

Superb Site 🤩
16-amp electric grass pitch
Liked Superb campsite. Spotlessly clean facilities and the pizza tent in the Friday evening was a lovely touch 🤩🤩 the owners are incredibly friends and more than helpful. Beautiful walk into Ellesmere town took 15 minutes. Already booked to return! Probably the best we’ve stayed!

16-amp electric grass pitch
Liked I was contacted prior to arrival due to the hot weather and as we had dogs given pitch 41 to make sure they had shade, also told the gate code .
On arrival the pitch 41 had great views then met by the very friendly owner who gave us loads of info about the site and places to go.
3 different fields of campers and they are all very well spaced out. Pitch 41 is next to the very well kept toilet block and that suited us.
Nothing to do with Newnes farm but 3 mobile had no data signal but had mobile signal (an advisory comment to stop any future dislikes) it just meant we could step off the roundabout for a couple of brilliant days.

Great stay
16-amp electric grass pitch
Liked Sited in field three above the pond. Beautiful view. Hard standing, nice and level, electric and water on the pitch. Each washroom has Individual shower, toilet and wash basin, very clean and tidy would definitely recommend and will return to stay again.
Disliked Very minor, a couple of the seasonal pitch holders, need to slow their driving and respect others staying. Tracks are dusty so chill with the right foot.
