Non-electric grass pitch (XL)

Liked Stayed at the edge of the field with our friends and our dogs so we were away from all the busy families/ children as adults only so position was good. Showers and Toilets good and easy accessible. Takeaway great for chips!! Walk to Wem about 1 mile - nice bakery and Joules pub. Dog field great

Disliked Rules state all dogs on leads - this was not the case. All our 3 dogs were on leads and we had to tell one particular family several times to come and collect their 3 dogs that were constantly left roaming around untethered and annoying our dogs.

Rules say no open fires - 🔥 - we saw loads! Loads of open fires - the people next door to us had one and many others campers too. There was even someone dragging a log across to their tent.

Pitches are generally spacious and the site is well-maintained, with many visitors praising the friendly and helpful staff. However, some guests found certain facilities dated and noted issues with noise, overcrowding, and the ground being hard to peg into. Despite some drawbacks, many guests express a desire to return.

Electric grass pitch (medium)

Liked Great place, lots of stuff for the kids. The kids loved seeing all the animals. All the staff were so helpful and kind to us. Their pool was a bit chilly (we picked first slot so might be why) but you got your own table and never felt too crowded.

Disliked Toilet block could do with a bit of a clean but was fine. I just wished the play parks opened earlier in the morning as we have little ones and they're up early so the park not being open before 9/10am some days was not ideal

Local attractions

Shropshire is a pretty peaceful place without too many crowds most of the time, so grab your chance to get stuck into a few gentle activities like floating on the Shropshire Union Canal, river Severn or Llangollen canal (50 minutes' drive). The site is also within striking distance of Ironbridge Gorge (45 minutes), a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Adore exploring the history of a place? Take yourself to spots like the British Ironwork Centre (35 minutes), Blists Hill Victorian Town (40 minutes) and Royal Air Force Museum Midlands (40 minutes), or pretend like you've gone back in time at Attingham Park (25 minutes), a National Trust site. The Quarry (half an hour) is a gorgeous spot for a little stroll in Shrewsbury, and if you fancy something a bit more challenging, Hawkstone Park Follies (five minutes) has sandstone hills and caves. If you're looking for activities that'll entertain the kids, however, make a beeline for Hoo Zoo and Dinosaur World (35 minutes). The site is near plenty of historic Shropshire towns and villages, from Hodnet (10 minutes) and Ellesmere (20 minutes) to Market Drayton (20 minutes) and Oswestry (40 minutes).
