This is a large, well-maintained campsite popular with families. Visitors praise the friendly and helpful staff, spacious pitches, and numerous on-site activities, including a pool, play areas, and evening entertainment. Facilities are generally clean, though some note they are dated. Issues raised include hard ground for pitching tents and occasional noise from other campers. Some managers' replies indicate problems have been addressed, such as bin emptying and shower lighting.

Electric grass pitch (large)

Liked Location, wardens, entertainment, food and shop on site. Great parks for the kids and animals for them to see. Staff especially the South African lady was super helpful and friendly.

Disliked Nothing about the site. Had a couple of troublesome neighbours but one call to the wardens and they were out very swiftly.

There was some loud noise in the night but the railway is nearby and possibly work being done!

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).
