Fully-serviced hardstanding and grass touring pitch

Liked Booked last minute on the way through from North Wales. Greeted by friendly wardens who showed us to our large level gravel pitch. Immaculate grounds, well stocked and well priced bar on site too. Shrewsbury only £10 in an uber so no need to move the unit once pitched.
We needed to leave at 6am to head onto work this morning and allowance was made for this. Normally the site is locked down 11pm - 6am as it is a tranquil site but nothing was too much trouble. Showers and toilets immaculate and a great temperature - No silly push buttons in the showers either!

Liked Cartref site is a beautiful well kept site, neatly manicured gardens. We met some really nice friendly folk walking their dogs and the staff were very polite and helpful. It helped having an onsite bar, although we didn't partake in onsite food purchases.

Many reviewers highlight the beautiful grounds and convenient location for exploring the area. Some minor points mentioned include occasional issues with the electric hook-up app and a desire for more lighting at night.

Fully-serviced hardstanding and grass touring pitch

Liked What a gem of a place. Everything about our stay was perfect. Large enclosed pitches, spotless facilities, manicured gardens, scenic views, dog walking area (and doggy loo), lovely pub...we didnt eat in the restaurant. So quiet and peaceful even though it was virtually full..it just had a lovely calm peaceful vibe the whole time.
The one thing that stands out are the staff. We have never met friendlier helpful staff ANYWHERE ELSE. An absolute credit to the place. We will be back for sure.
Mylo our border collie and Coco our choc lab loved the enclosed dog field. A great bonus.

Disliked Coming home!!

Local attractions

Shropshire's splendid capital of Shrewsbury is around five miles from Cartref Camping and Caravan Site. The piles of old buildings to see will keep anyone occupied for quite some time, but ask around when you're there to see if any of the famed festivals are running during your stay: the Shrewsbury Flower Show, Folk Festival and the Shrewsbury International Cartoon Festival and more have their HQs here. Roam a little further to Wroxeter Roman City, five miles south-east of Shrewsbury: once one of the biggest cities in Roman Britain, it's managed these days by English Heritage, which runs regular events, an audio tour and a museum around its bathhouse remains, townhouse re-creation and the biggest free-standing Roman wall in the country in the Old Work. Guided tours, afternoon teas and wines are available at Wroxeter Roman Vineyard. The Industrial Revolution site of Ironbridge half an hour's drive away is another top Shropshire attraction, or you could sample some fine dining or afternoon teas in the foodie town of Ludlow. Ellesmere, with its glacial meres created during the last Ice Age, also has a bowling green at the ruins of its 11th-century motte-and-bailey castle.
