What customers say
This campsite is considered a good option for overnight stops, particularly for those visiting the Ironbridge area. Guests highlight a friendly welcome and secure, locked gates. While the hard standing pitches are described as basic, akin to a car park, and shower blocks are dated, this was noted as being pre-disclosed. Some guests experienced issues with arrival times and overhead cable noise, though this did not impact their sleep. Electric hook-up points were noted as being difficult to access.

Electric optional hardstanding touring pitch
Liked Great for overnight stop on way to Wales, basic hard standing (CarPark like) shower block dated (but we knew this as it was in the description) guy on the evening was very welcoming (sorry didn’t get your name) explained if we went out just to give an idea what time we would be back as the lady would wait for our return, she was also lovely the following morning 😊
We would stay again for an overnight.
Didn’t get chance to look round the site due to the rain, but the holiday homes look nice
Disliked Mine really, the over head electric pylons where a tad noisy bit again was told about them and they did not disturb our sleep

Easy access to Ironbridge area, Very basic car park like camping area
Electric optional hardstanding touring pitch
Liked The location, it's very close to Ironbridge and is a good access point if you were doing an Ironbridge weekend.
Disliked The rigid timekeeping for having to be at the site. If you're travelling somewhere 5pm is not always possible to make, we got stuck in traffic and we're almost turned away even after paying for the site. The actual camping area itself is more like a large car park they crammed the caravans and camper vans in, The washing facilities though clean and practical are 150 yards away down a hill. This wasn't the kind of place that we would choose to stay again.

Very friendly welcome on arrival Locked gates…
Electric optional hardstanding touring pitch
Liked Very friendly welcome on arrival
Locked gates made u feel secure
Pitch roomy but electric was plugged in down quite a drop
Quiet night apart from yappy dog, but not an issue with campsite tbf
Otherwise good night
Disliked Buzzing from overhead cables could be annoying for some users but pitch was fine for an overnight stay. Do not be put off by drive up where there is construction work as site is unaffected
