  • Small family-run caravan park on a farm close to the Welsh border
  • A 25-minute drive from Shrewsbury and 45 minutes from Ironbridge
  • Jacuzzi, play area, snooker, games room and fishing available on site
It’s all about the chilled-out times at Bank Farm Caravan Park, a small, family-run site on a farm just next to the Welsh border. At the foot of the Breiddens with Wales on one side and Shropshire on the other, this site looks to the south, meaning morning views are filled up with valleys and mountains. Of course, you’ll also have your pick of attractions on either side, from Powis Castle and Garden (20 minutes’ drive) to Shrewsbury (25 minutes) and Ironbridge (45 minutes). Now for your neighbours… Bank Farm is a small working farm with sheep and cattle, where the family has added their tender touch to the site for well over 80 years, resulting in a reel of activities. So, you might want to make the most of the play area, games room, football pitch and snooker room (this last one’s for adults only). For a proper pamper session, you might want to head to the jacuzzi after an amble around the local woodlands – these trees are packed with wildlife and the occasional wild deer roaming through, so you’ll want to keep your eyes peeled. And for some downtime by the water, there’s also fishing on site. When it comes to the basic stuff, the facilities have got it under control. There are two utility blocks on site, one with a specific family room, and there’s a laundry room for you to tend to any grubby clothes.

What customers say

Bank Farm is a highly recommended, impeccably clean campsite with exceptional facilities, particularly the showers. Owners are consistently praised for their friendliness and helpfulness. The location boasts stunning views and provides ample space for children to play, with a popular play area and football pitch. While the site is generally well-maintained and peaceful, some visitors note traffic noise from the adjacent busy road, and the games room/jacuzzi location across the road is a minor consideration for some. Despite minor drawbacks, guests frequently express a desire to return.

Liked Site was peaceful and we had a level pitch. Spotless facilities with a separate family room for shower and toilet, which was lockable from the inside.

Disliked Slight recommendation a second dishwashing sink would be of an advantage. Otherwise great campsite

From the manager: Thankyou, unfortunately at present we do not have the space for a second washing up sink

Liked Everything about this site was fantastic. Owners friendly, helpful and extremely patient with children with sen problems. Facilities are spotless and modernised. Fantastic views from our tent. Beautiful walks nearby and a lovely pub a few minutes walk from the site.They went above and beyond for my daughter’s birthday! Allowing her to feed the lambs and chickens. It was that good we didn’t want to leave! Came back today, called up and now booked in for 2 weeks time.

Lynsey B.

Electric grass tent pitch

Liked A lovely clean site, well maintained, clean washrooms. Owners really friendly. Options to check out later at no extra cost. In fact, owners came around and said there was no need to rush checking out.

Disliked The road running by which is very busy and The light that we pitched under. There was a local party that went on for two nights with music playing loudly until 3am. Not a common occurrence.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thankyou for your comments. Im sorry the light was an issue its such a shame you didnt tell us as we could have turned it off which we have done for other customers if their tents dont have the darkened roof.
The local party was a one off for someones 50th and we agree it was way too noisy and played too late. Thank goodness it was a one off!!

Would definitely recommend 👍

Electric grass tent pitch

Liked Staying at Bank Farm was a pleasure and a perfect base to carry on and explore Wales. Water on site fresh from the bore hole tasted great. Plenty of space for the kids to play and even some cows in the field next to us. Facilities very clean and modern. Lovely hosts. Would definitely stay again.

Disliked Only down side being close to a busy road woke me up first morning but second night was fine didnt notice it and nice to hear the motorbikes on the rides out to Wales in the morning sipping a coffee. An outdoor pool would top it off 😄.

Liked We had a wonderful stay at this campsite! The location is absolutely beautiful, with amazing views that made our stay feel special. The facilities were clean and well-maintained, and there’s a great play area that kept the kids happy and entertained. A special mention to David, he was fantastic and couldn’t have been more helpful throughout our stay. Friendly, welcoming, and always on hand if we needed anything. Highly recommend this site – we’ll definitely be back!

Local attractions

Back to the older ages… there’s many a trip far, far down memory lane around here, beginning with Powis Castle and Garden (20 minutes’ drive). This National Trust castle and country house hark all the way back to medieval times. Fast forward a fair few years and there’s a Tudor centre, museums and the home of Charles Darwin in Shrewsbury (25 minutes) or the Welshpool & Llanfair Light Railway (25 minutes) for an old-school steam train trip. For an open-air museum experience, the UNESCO World Heritage Site at Ironbridge (45 minutes) will send you through everything from gorges to Victorian towns and over the world’s first cast-iron bridge. But, how about mucking into farm life headfirst too? There are four museums including world war trenches, a Victorian school and an Iron Age Roundhouse to bring to life the past at Park Hall The Countryside Experience (35 minutes), as well as farm animal activities and play areas. Where else to look to? Well, there’s the walled cathedral city of Chester (an hour and 10 minutes) or the Welsh coast (an hour and a half), and Lake Vyrnwy (50 minutes) is a good shot for scenic shooting, mountain biking and horse riding sessions, or watersports.
