  • Quiet Shropshire touring park 10 minutes’ drive from Ironbridge
  • Wroxeter Roman City 15 minutes’ drive and The Wrekin 25 minutes
  • Well-stocked fishing lake; play areas and dog walks from the pitches
Quiet and surrounded by forested hills, Poolview Caravan Park stretches over 15 acres and is 10 minutes’ drive from the UNESCO-listed museums at Ironbridge in Shropshire; it has fully serviced hardstanding pitches for campervans, caravans and large motorhomes. There’s plenty of space for kids to run around and kick a ball, and a choice of woodland walks directly from the pitches, so you can stretch your legs and those of any accompanying canines. If you keep your eyes open, you may see deer flitting among the trees on the edge of the park. Its central focus is the peaceful fishing lake, stocked with a variety of game fish for coarse fishing. It’s open from dawn to dusk for guest use, with night fishing allowed by prior agreement, and non-residents are welcome to fish, subject to a daily licence charge. There are no-frills showers and loos on the site, which is tucked into the side of a steep hill. You may occasionally notice some buzzing from the electric cables overhead.

What customers say

This campsite offers a convenient location for visiting the Ironbridge area, with a friendly welcome and secure, locked gates. Reviewers found pitches to be a good size, though some noted the proximity of overhead cables and a drop to electric hook-ups. Facilities are generally reported as clean, but some guests found them dated and in need of repair, with a lack of locks on shower doors noted. Arrival times are strictly enforced.

Kelly B. 3 reviews

Electric optional gravel touring pitch

Liked Nothing

Disliked Hard to get in and out of campsite as you have to buzz and wait for someone to answer and wait for gate to open, which made it difficult when we were there for a competition and sometimes no one answered and had to drive round to find someone.
We were stuck in tremendous traffic getting there an hour after you are allowed to check in, we checked in at 630, I hadn't noticed it was 530 latest checkin which is my fault, never known anywhere to stop check ins that early in 12 years!! But we had left with plenty of time to get there about 430 but unfortunately stuck in such bad stand still traffic to then be interrogated when we got there and basically told off. Then told we were lucky they let us in in front of our 3 children.

Electric optional gravel touring pitch

Liked Welcome, security, tidy, cleanliness of facilities. The facilites were well worn but spotless and there was plenty of hot water. The site is steep, but the pitch area is reasonably flat, all on hard standing with nearby eletricity. Near sightseeing areas and great if steep dog walkies..

Disliked Security was tight and allthough they were quite happy to let you in and out, we did feel guilty keeping the lady up when we came back late...

Electric optional gravel 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

Recommend to friends Visit again

Easy access to Ironbridge area, Very basic car park like camping area

Electric optional gravel 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.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: booking on pitch does state to arrive by 5.30 pm unless contact to say your running late you made no contact to 5.50pm when you turned up

Booked an electric pitch but told I hadn't when I arrived
