  • Peaceful one-acre pitching field behind a Shropshire village pub
  • Half an hour's drive to Ironbridge; 40 minutes to Shropshire Hills
  • Real ales, beer garden and friendly community events
If ‘pub within easy walking distance’ is on your wishlist for somewhere to stay in Shropshire, you’ll be pleased with the offerings at The Three Horseshoes: pitch up here and you’ll be staying in the field right behind the pub in the village of Sambrook. This is a classic country pub, serving up real ales and plenty of other drinks in a friendly environment that also welcomes dogs. There’s a beer garden for alfresco drinks on sunnier days, and a programme of community events that might include quizzes, barbecues and live music – keep an eye out for what’s on while you’re here. (Please note the pub no longer serves food.) Things are kept pretty simple in the camping area, but guests will have access to drinking water and wifi, and there’s access to pub toilets throughout the day and night so you won’t be caught short. This spot between Newport and Market Drayton (and about 10 minutes’ drive from each) is a handy one for getting out and about: it’s only a short way off the A41 and within easy reach of all sorts of places for days out. That might be city days in Birmingham and Chester, soaking up the history in Ironbridge, heading out to hike the Shropshire Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty…

What customers say

This is a simple, quiet campsite located behind a traditional pub. Visitors praise the spacious, flat, and well-maintained field, and the exceptionally friendly and helpful owners and staff. Amenities include clean pub toilets with 24-hour access, and washing-up facilities. While some noted the absence of showers and limited WiFi, the peaceful atmosphere, lovely countryside location, and good value make it a popular choice for short stays and stopovers.

Electric grass pitch

Liked The open field at the rear of the property

Disliked Disappointed really, I was expecting a couple of days visiting the pub and having a couple of meals, but on arrival no food was being served? I don’t know if this was just a temporary thing or permanent,
The porta loos on site were dirty and had no water in them.
