  • Peaceful Shropshire farm park with views of Lodge Hill and The Wrekin
  • A 15-minute drive to Church Stretton; 25 to Shrewsbury
  • On-site half-acre fishing lake; fresh eggs available
Get set for a peaceful stay at The Shepherd's Loft, a family-run farm in the Shropshire countryside with just excellent views of Lodge Hill and The Wrekin. It sits in the quiet village of Frodesley, which is not only easy to get to but also splendid for stargazing (it's near the dark skies of the Shropshire Hills). You'll know for sure that you're in the countryside, with fresh eggs for sale at the gate. Guests here can look forward to good on-site facilities, including a well-maintained private toilet and a hot shower unit, both kept to a high standard for your comfort. A farm shop is five minutes' drive away, and more shops and supermarkets are in Shrewsbury, 25 minutes' drive away. How to fill your days? Bring a rod to try the fishing pond on site, take a two-hour circular walk from the site or set off for more hikes in the Shropshire Hills National Landscape. For culinary treats, you might also like to head to the foodie town of Ludlow (35 minutes).

What customers say

This small, peaceful campsite in a rural setting offers beautiful countryside views. Pitches are generally flat, well-spaced, and equipped with electric and water. Visitors praised the friendly and helpful owners, cleanliness of facilities, and good value for money. While the single toilet/shower facility was noted by some as basic and occasionally requiring a queue, most found it adequate. The site is recommended for those seeking a quiet getaway or a convenient stopover, with opportunities for walking and exploring local attractions. Fresh eggs and homemade produce are available for purchase. Some minor issues with hose connections and tepid shower water were noted and are being addressed by management.

Electric hardstanding touring pitch

Liked Only 8 pitches so nice and quiet. Owners mum greeted everyone that came in, very welcoming.

Disliked Only one shower/toilet block but sufficient for the 8 pitches, no queues.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for your lovely review! We’re so pleased you enjoyed the peaceful atmosphere—having just 8 pitches really does help keep things nice and quiet. It’s great to hear you received a warm welcome on arrival; we’ll be sure to pass that on 😊

We’re glad the facilities worked well for you during your stay, and it’s wonderful to hear how much your son enjoyed meeting the animals—especially the donkeys! They do have a way of winning people over, no matter their age 🤣

We’d love to welcome you back again for another relaxing visit soon!

Liked Good quiet sight, and small site so not over crowded,

Disliked In a busy time the toilet facilities will be a problem, as the only toilet is in with the shower

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for your review. We’re really pleased you enjoyed the quiet, small nature of the site—it’s something many of our guests value.

We appreciate your feedback regarding the facilities. As a small site, we do have limited amenities, and we understand that having the toilet and shower combined may be less convenient during busier times. We’ll certainly keep this in mind as we look at ways to improve the experience for our guests.

Thanks again for your stay, and we hope to welcome you back in the future!

Ryan L.

Electric hardstanding motorhome pitch

Liked The site is a wonderful, secluded getaway that offers a truly quiet and intimate atmosphere away from the crowds. One of the standout features was the local farm animals, including the donkeys and chickens, which wandered right up to the site and provided great entertainment for our daughter. It is a charming, peaceful spot for anyone looking for a small, out-of-the-way retreat in the heart of the countryside.

Disliked The entrance would benefit from much clearer signage, as it is easy to miss and results in some difficult maneuvering in the narrow surrounding lanes. Additionally, the infrastructure feels quite limited with only a single toilet and shower unit available for guests. The washing-up facilities could also be improved by the addition of warm water, as the current setup is a bit too basic for a fully comfortable stay.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for your thoughtful and detailed review. We’re delighted you enjoyed the peaceful, secluded atmosphere of the site—it’s exactly what we aim to offer for those looking to escape the crowds. It’s lovely to hear your daughter enjoyed the donkeys and chickens too; they certainly like to make themselves part of the experience!

We really appreciate your constructive feedback as well. We understand the entrance can be easy to miss, and we’re already looking at ways to improve the signage to make arrivals smoother. Regarding the facilities, we aim to keep things simple in keeping with the small, off-grid feel of the site, but we do take your comments on board—especially around the washing-up area—and will consider how we can improve comfort while maintaining that charm.

Thanks again for staying with us, and we hope to welcome you back in the future.

From the manager: Thank you for your review. We’re really glad you enjoyed the pitches and the convenience of electric and water hookups.

We appreciate your feedback regarding the facilities and location. As a small, rural site, we aim to offer a peaceful and more secluded experience, though we understand this may feel a little isolated for some. We also recognise that having a single shower and toilet may not suit everyone, and we’ll keep your comments in mind as we continue to improve.

Thanks again for your stay!

Donkeys were nice

Disliked Only 1 shower and toilet for the whole site and both together so if shower occupied, meant waiting for bathroom, not ideal with young children
Shower was small and not very warm
No hot water available in the washing up area

From the manager: Thank you for your review. We’re really pleased you enjoyed the quiet atmosphere, spacious pitches, friendly welcome, and of course the donkeys!

We appreciate your feedback regarding the facilities. As a small site, we do keep things simple, but we understand that having a single combined shower and toilet can be less convenient, especially for families. We’ll certainly take your comments on board, including the shower temperature and lack of hot water at the washing-up area, as we look at ways to improve the experience for our guests.

Electric hardstanding touring pitch

Liked Everything.. Excellent campsite that has electric and water tap on every hard standing pitch. Pitches are flat and well spaced apart. Good views and convenient for visting National Trust properties or those that like lazing around or walking trails etc. The toilet block was extremely clean with built in shower. Usual outside washing facility ertc. Their fresh laid hen and duck eggs are also available with an honesty box to pay for them. Can't fault anything.. suited our needs.

Local attractions

Once you’ve warmed up on the local footpaths, set off for longer strolls in the Shropshire Hills, perhaps starting from the walkers’ mecca Church Stretton (15 minutes’ drive) at the foot of the Long Mynd. Caer Caradoc (10 minutes) and the Wrekin (half an hour) are close by if you’d rather tackle a mountain or two. Quad biking, horse riding and River Severn canoe trips are all possible too if you don’t mind a drive of 45 minutes or so. ​For a bit of local history, start with Acton Burnell Castle (five minutes), the seat of the first Parliament in 1283, then move on to Wroxeter (15 minutes) to explore the Roman City and then take a tour and tasting at the vineyard next door. You could also embark on a Charles Darwin-themed tour of Shrewsbury (25 minutes). Ironbridge (25 minutes) is another fine place for a glimpse into the past, as is the lovely National Trust estate Attingham Park (20 minutes). Or try the Telford Steam Railway (25 minutes) for a special day out.
