Liked Great site. Lovely owners, Shrewsbury town not too far of a drive from site. Local garage stops and shops very close by.

Onsite bar/cafe is lovely and peaceful.

Very dog friendly site.

Direct access to the river so we spent many hours paddle boarding up and down with the dog with no issues however were advised to be very careful by the owner due to the current changes. Especially with less experienced swimmers or young children.

Disliked Although the shower block is lovely and up to a high standard, as we went on bank holiday weekend it was quite busy and the 1 W/C in addition to the shower cubicles were a slight issue as it was busy and you had to wait quite a while. Same with the 1 wash up station. However didn’t tarnish our overall opinion.

Not a dislike but possibly a suggestion- due to the hot weather it would have been handy to have a communal freezer to refreeze ice packs/blocks, we’ve found this at other sites and find it really handy however understand it is an added expense.

Liked Excellent camp site. We loved our stay and the owner was very accommodating and friendly. The little cafe/bar was great and the site was well maintained.

Disliked Only little snag was that the toilet roll ran out in the toilets on the second morning (it was very busy, given it was a bank holiday weekend and the site was fully booked).

Liked ​Fantastic bar staff (Friday): The bar and beer garden are absolutely stunning and very well-kept. On Friday night, the atmosphere was lively, and the chap dressed in purple was incredibly accommodating and polite, he even poured me a sample of a local beer I was chatting to my sister about.
​Excellent location: The site is brilliantly located for local amenities. We spent Saturday at the Shrewsbury Country Show (a 20-minute drive) and got a wonderful Chinese takeaway from Llanymynech (only 10 minutes away).
​Initial facilities: On our first night, the showers were great, warm and clean.

Disliked Far too cramped and busy: I appreciate that it was a Bank Holiday and half-term, but the site was simply packed to capacity. It felt incredibly overcrowded, and there were cars parked absolutely everywhere, which made the whole layout feel very tight.
​Catastrophic shower issues by Saturday: The facility management unfortunately fell apart under the pressure of the crowds. During a heatwave, we had to queue for up to 40 minutes for the showers, only to find them dirty, freezing cold, and completely out of toilet paper and hand towels.
​Stressful check-in & layout: Upon arrival, we followed signs to check in "at the Cafe," leaving our car and caravan on what we thought was a one-way entrance. It wasn't. Because of the layout and the parked cars by the entrance/exit, I ended up having to navigate a toddler, a car, and a caravan around oncoming traffic, trying desperately not to encroach on other campers' pitches.
​Disappointing fishing pond: We paid the additional £21 for the fishing pond on Sunday for the 10-year-old with us who lives for fishing. Unfortunately, it was just tadpoles and more tadpoles. He was very disappointed.
Overloaded bins on arrival: Before we had even arrived, the main waste bins were already completely overflowing with bin bags stacked up against them, which wasn't a great first impression.
​Unpredictable bar openings: We knew beforehand that the bar and cafe would be closed on Bank Holiday Monday. However, on Saturday night, the bar closed early due to staffing levels. Then on Sunday, we headed down hoping for a swift drink in the beautiful sunshine and beer garden, only to find it was already closed.
​Dismissive service & unwritten rules: When my sister and I tried to pay for our two additional dogs and ask about fishing, the lady who checked us in dismissed us with a wave of her hand and a "we'll deal with that some other time." Yet, we were told 5 or 6 times about pre-ordering pizza. Furthermore, the rules made no mention of bicycles, but the 10-year-old was shouted at from a golf buggy for riding his bike "around the caravans" on a site where caravans are everywhere.

Liked We arrived fairly late evening on the Friday of the May bank Holiday weekend. Julie greeted us in the cafe & we ordered the most delicious pizzas, which we recommend by the way! They were very appreciated after a long journey! We stayed in the cabin overlooking the beautiful pond. We had such a lovely peaceful stay that we asked to stay an additional night! Julie & her staff couldn't do more for us & their guests, always available if you needed anything. Kept the drinks flowing in the bar which was needed in the heat! The toilet block & showers were great we have been to other grounds where they just give you a porta loo but here they have running water & plumbing, great water pressure & temperature in the showers too.
The grounds are beautiful & a lot of work clearly goes into everything that Julie & her team do.
We recommend this to everyone whether you want to camp or go a bit more bougie & stay in one of the pods or shepherds huts, you wont be disappointed!
We will definitely be booking again.

Liked We aren't typically the type to write a review but this place deserves it, we felt welcomed from the get go ordered a beautiful couple of pizzas and relaxed to birds chirping and a fire crackling, on night 2 we started the day off with a walk round the area of the campsite which was recommended to us by the owner. We went to a bridge with a gorgeous view of the river and the mountain on the other side and we went to an old Tudor church and all together loved the scenery
