  • Family-friendly site in the Shropshire Hills, near the Welsh border
  • Offa’s Dyke Path 10 minutes’ drive; Ludlow and Shrewsbury 40 minutes
  • Close to hiking and biking trails; campfires and barbecues allowed
Have bike, will travel… If you’re itching to let rip on your mountain bike and are looking for a site close to hills, ridges and challenging trails, Runnis Meadow Camping might just tick all of those boxes. Sitting on the banks of the River West Onny, close to the Welsh border, this family-friendly site has easy access to cycling and walking trails within the spectacular Shropshire Hills. The rugged landscape of Stiperstones National Nature Reserve (15 minutes’ drive), an area of quartzite rock formations, can be explored on foot or by bike. Keep an eye out for red kites and skylarks while you’re there. Walkers can also tackle Offa’s Dyke Path, which follows the English-Welsh border, and Corndon Hill (both 10 minutes’ drive), while mountain-bikers might like to sample the routes in the Carding Mill Valley and Long Mynd (half an hour). In terms of facilities, the site has fresh water on tap, plus showers and a toilet block. There are firepits for hire and bags of logs to buy, and barbecues are allowed. For provisions, you can head into the town of Bishop’s Castle (10 minutes), which also has numerous restaurants and takeaways. There are also several good pubs nearby that would make good rest stops on your walk or bike ride.

What customers say

A beautiful, peaceful, and spacious rural campsite with immaculate, modern facilities including excellent hot showers. Owners are consistently praised for being friendly, helpful, and welcoming. The site offers a natural setting with lovely views, a stream, and ample space for children and dogs. Optional fire pits and wood are available. Most visitors appreciate the lack of phone signal for a digital detox. Some minor points include limited washing-up facilities and potential ground softness after rain.

Electric grass pitch

Liked We really enjoyed our stay at the Runnis Meadow, actually it's the best campsite we have ever been to! Thank you so much for maintaining it so nicely, everywhere!

ps. Thanks again for lending us the connector to our extension socket, and sorry that I didn't get time to tell you that I left it next to the fridge as there's no signals on site and later it slipped my mind...

Non-electric grass pitch

Liked The location was fantastic, no ambient light so we could sit and watch the stars! Firepits and logs delivered to your pitch at reasonable prices. Toilet and shower block were immaculate and cleaned regularly. Pitch sizes were huge so you could really stretch out and have plenty of room. Lots of sights to see locally and lots of lovely country pubs.

Disliked Nothing really to do within walking distance ie pub or sight seeing but not a problem for us as we ate out on our travels or bought something back to roast over the fire. Not a dislike really but it could put you off if that's what you need.

Electric grass pitch

Liked Absolutely everything - peaceful and in beautiful surroundings. The pitches are large and spacious. The bathrooms are individual and spotlessly clean.
The host welcomed us and gave us all the information we were likely to need.

Disliked That we had to come home!

Local attractions

The remains of an Iron Age fort are not the only draw at Roundton Hill National Nature Reserve (15 minutes’ drive). This Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) is also a haven for bats (who roost in disused lead mines), lizards and butterflies, plus birds such as yellowhammers and woodpeckers. Had enough of grilling your own meals? A thriving dining scene awaits in Ludlow (40 minutes). For a small market town, Ludlow has a surprising amount of award-winning restaurants, plus traditional pubs and deli shops selling local specialities. If you visit in September, you might also catch the food festival, which takes place inside the medieval castle. In addition to its castle and cathedral, Shrewsbury (40 minutes) is known for the Quarry, a garden stretching along the River Severn. There is plenty to do here besides admiring colourful flower beds and relaxing on the lawn: National Cycle Route 81 skirts the water, you can hire canoes, or let the kids tire themselves out at the Quarry Splash Park.
