  • 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.

Non-electric grass pitch

Liked The showers were excellent. Love a loo in the shower area. Perfect!
Fire pits.
Quiet.
No WiFi-blooming marvellous.
Nothing too much trouble for the owner.

Disliked Grass was a bit high so by evening it was a very soggy walk to and from the loo.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: That you for staying with us, and leaving a review.
The long grass was due to 2 weeks of rain prior to the bank holiday weekend, and not wishing to cut the grass whilst we had campers and spoiling their stay.

Scenery was lovely, host was friendly…

Electric grass pitch

Liked Very well spaced out and friendly site. Toilets / showers are very clean and in good condition. Great base to relax or wonder off to local towns. No issues with EE signal. Gate abit tight for larger caravans, just need to take it slow.

Electric grass pitch

Liked We love this campsite. It's the second year we've been and have had a great time both times. The owners are lovely and welcoming. It's just the right size and not crowded. The field is enclosed so we don't worry about the children wondering off. The toilet and shower facilities are clean and work well.

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.
