  • Telford site within a mile of Ironbridge
  • Campfires allowed using upcycled washing machine drum pits
  • Modern toilet block; logs and barbecue coals delivered to your pitch
If you've ever had a steely determination to visit UNESCO World Heritage Site Ironbridge, this is the very site for you in Irongorge Camping near Telford. As the name might hint, this site is very close indeed to the world famous birthplace of the Industrial Revolution – the exploits of Mr Brunel et al are only a mile away – so forge your way here forthwith for a heritage hol that should be just tickety boo. Active options are around too if that's also your tickety boo thing: you might quite fancy riverside strolls, riverbank fishing, river surface boating and canoeing (there's a pattern developing here...) and, on land, possibly racing around on mountain bikes or hiking up hills or the Severn Gorge. And visiting the many excellent pubs around; peeps on hol should also/always fancy those. Amenities of shower and toilet block and washing-up area are smartly up to date and kept to good standards by owners Claire and James. Campfires and barbecues are allowed on site: if you need to buy dry logs or barbecue coals they can most conveniently be delivered to your pitch. And, what might possibly become your fave feature of this industrious little site, the ready made 'fire bowls' are actually cleverly upcycled washing machine drums, which you can fill with fire for your evening stews. Mr Brunel would have approved....

What customers say

This is a highly-rated campsite praised for its beautiful rural location, stunning views, and peaceful atmosphere. Visitors frequently highlight the exceptional friendliness and helpfulness of the owners, alongside the site's cleanliness and well-maintained facilities, particularly the shower blocks. Many appreciate the spacious pitches, on-site fire pits, and the convenience of free WiFi. While a steep, bumpy access road is noted, it's generally considered manageable.

Electric optional grass tent pitch

Liked What an amazing campsite. Owners are so lovely, well kept, clean and free WiFi! Only stayed one night but will definitely be returning. 5 min drive away from shops/pubs etc. Easy to find, it is a bit of a steep bumpy hill but nothing major. Just take it slowly. We loved that there was a firepit on every pitch too and if you need anything at all the owner is always on hand. Think we will try the cabins next time. Overall fantastic little site.

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked Large field with good shower block and freezer room.

Disliked The road going up to the farm was steep which was OK, but make sure you have good suspension and don't go faster than a walking pace, the surface is very uneven. I think I might have been there when the lambs were weaned off of the ewes too. The bleating was very loud and constant.

Local attractions

It's a slight porkie to state with firm authority that the Industrial Revolution started exactly at Ironbridge Gorge on one particular day, for of course as your teachers will have told you, it was a gradual process happening all over the shop over a longer period of time. That said, the 10 museums of the Ironbridge site are the definitive Industrial Revolution attraction in the land, visited tirelessly by over half a million people every year. Five of the 10 museums are within a mile of Irongorge Camping, including award-winning Enginuity which should spark the kids' interest right up with its interactive exhibits and hands-on activities; get them to try pulling a locomotive by hand or test their speedy reactions against the Enginuity lighting-fast robot. About 10 minutes' drive from Irongorge Camping will see you back in time at Blists Hill Victorian Town, another Ironbridge Gorge museum and an award-winning ingenuity where visitors can experience life as it was in Victorian times including Victorian shops, cottages and schools. If the kids play up, tell them about Victorian child labour and chimney climbing too... Elsewhere in the area, Irongorge Camping has views over Wrekin Hill with easy access to it for those who fancy a walk, climb or a slack sit at the summit with a picnic, a beer and a book.
