Non-electric grass pitch (large)

Liked We enjoyed our stay .. well organised on arrival and staff where great and helpful, the tent pitches were big, lots to do for children on site including 2 parks, animals, kids entertainment (only on some nights), outdoor swimming pool (which is we also well organised). And also things to do for children near by.. We visited the ironworks museum and hoo zoo. Both great days out and around half an hour drive away.

Disliked Toilets are dated I’d would have said unclean but there was always cleaners in cleaning them, grass wasn’t the best for pegs and I would be careful driving on the grass as I seen lots of pegs and screws left when walking to the toilet, there was a few loud families (swearing and there was even a scuffle between 2 families) but this can’t be helped by the campsite and it never kept us awake. They did keep all of us together on a huge field which I didn’t see the point in but again didn’t keep us awake, pool wasn’t the cleanest and the food at the cafe was awful.

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).
