Fully-serviced hardstanding and grass touring pitch

Liked Friendly and beautifully maintained. The pitches are very generous, very peaceful. Fantastic local pub and garage where you can buy most things.

Disliked Very cluttered due to the cars parked in front of the caravans, it felt like a carpark. Walking was on the roads/lanes although quiet and felt safe. The local walkways completely overgrown sadly, they could be wonderful. Bar closed at 8pm and no food.You have to pay extra for electric if you use over 7. We didn't but might be an issue if cold.

What customers say

This adult-only campsite is praised for its immaculate grounds, generous private pitches, and exceptional cleanliness, particularly the shower blocks. Guests highlight the friendly and helpful staff, peaceful atmosphere, and the welcoming on-site bar with good food options. The site's dog-friendliness, including dedicated walking areas and a doggy toilet, is also a significant draw. Its convenient location for exploring Shrewsbury and surrounding areas is frequently mentioned. Minor points include the need for more lighting and the app for electricity, though most found it manageable.

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.
