General site

  • Adults-only dog-friendly site near the Shropshire/Staffordshire border
  • A 20-minute drive from Ironbridge Gorge and The Wrekin hill
  • Within a five-minute drive of three pubs and Weston Park
Within a 20-minute drive of Ironbridge Gorge, The Willows Caravan Park is an adults-only site surrounded by plenty of local walks through the Shropshire or Staffordshire countryside. Set near the border between the two counties, this Shropshire site is peaceful, pet-friendly and pretty handily positioned for getting out to pubs, tea rooms and market towns too… There are three pubs and restaurants within a five-minute drive of the site, in Great Chatwell (a 35-minute walk if you’d rather go on foot), Pave Lane and Tong. Shifnal and Newport, two market towns, are within a 10-minute drive of the site, plus Telford is only a 20-minute drive away if you're in need of additional convenient amenities. Perhaps you’d like to visit the tea rooms at the garden centre just outside of Albrighton, 10 minutes’ drive away, too. With there being a restaurant at the 17th-century Weston Park, five minutes’ drive away, there really is a lot of choice. That's a lot of time dedicated to touring restaurants, pubs and tea rooms, so if you find yourself craving a nice, long walk, a cycle or some wildlife watching, make your way over to The Wrekin hill, 20 minutes' drive away from base. This is a simple site, so don't expect heaps of fancy facilities. All the essentials are covered though, with toilets, showers and a chemical disposal point for guests to use.

Andrea T.

Electric hardstanding touring pitch

Liked I booked a hard standing pitch with facilities but on arrival they were all taken. As it was dry weather I was happy to move onto a grass serviced pitch, however if the weather had been bad it would have been a different story. I always pick hard standing as I have a dog and this helps with not bringing dirt into my van. The site is very well kept.

Disliked The lock on the gate is extremely difficult to lock(as others have mentioned), I couldn’t lock it at all.
I’m not sure how busy the site gets in the season but I imagine with only one shower it could be an issue.
Water for washing the dishes went cold very quickly.

From the manager: Hi,
Thanks for taking time to leave your review.
I do offer our sincere apologies regards confusion over a hard standing pitch not being available. We are a newish site (open 17 months), this is the 1st time this has happened. I will look into this and thank you for bringing this to my attention.

Again, thanks for your feedback on the gate lock - I have pleasure to confirm a new solution for the gate lock has been found and is on order. We hope we have now resolved the gate lock issue.

In regards to the shower - as we are only a small site, we have been advised that the boiler should be sufficient. I will make inquiries regards this as we may need to look at a larger boiler.

Thanks for your comments.
We hope you will return soon.
Kind regards,
Kerry,

Electric hardstanding touring pitch

Liked level pitch's, site kept neat and tidy,

Disliked A41 road noise can be intrusive depending on wind direction and while a minor thing the combination lock on the gate (which could see from our pitch) is a pain to use and having seen several people struggling with it that's not just us.

From the manager: Hi,

Electric hardstanding touring pitch

Liked Very clean loos, nice washing up area, plenty of space, and a quiet site. Decent communication via SMS prior to arrival and all very well run and organised.

Disliked Bif of a faff having to key code the door to the loo, but it's probably been assessed and someone's decided there's a risk of unauthorised use or something. It didn't feel like it was needed, but hey ho, a minor detail.

From the manager: Hi,

I can confirm that yes, the key codes for gate access and toilets are a security measure. We want to ensure that our toilet facilities are only authorised by our patreon's.

Hope to see you again soon.

Non-electric grass pitch

Liked Lovely spot (off grid pitch for VW Transporter Motorhome), with loads of space around the pitch. Easy to find. Super clean bathroom and shower facilities too.
Site is within easy reach of the RAF Museum in Cosford, Ironbridge and the Severn Valley Railway in Bridgenorth.
Highly recommend.
