What customers say

This well-maintained campsite boasts a beautiful riverside location with stunning views. Visitors praise the exceptionally clean facilities, including showers and toilets, and the helpfulness of the owner, Freda. Complimentary tea, coffee, and milk are appreciated touches. While most guests enjoy the peaceful atmosphere and convenient location for exploring, some noted issues with additional charges for showers and occasional traffic noise. A few guests also found the fishing conditions challenging due to low river levels and limited access.

Simon J.

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked Just about everything. The lady running the show is lovely. Works hard to keep it tip top shape. View of the river and hills is marvellous at sunset.

Disliked Some campers just do not respect the beauty of the place, leaving rubbish on the ground. Sadly the Asian family in question were not respecting the other campers. Loud and very messy, even camped over the access to the river.

Sarah A.

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked Location is beautiful. Yes at night there is the odd sound of vehicles but the sound of the river makes up for that. Facilities were clean and stocked with soap and toilet roll

Disliked Feel the description is not the reality especially if choosing the site to fish. The river is very low making fishing almost impossible. There are 3 designated walk downs on the bank to fish close to the river but only with enough space for 1 man standing. The rest of the bank is so overgrown that if it was better maintained people would be able to utilise the space more.
Whilst there is toilet facilities the only access is back on onto the main path/ road not ideal in the dark.
The are 2 toilets and 2 shower/ toilets. However there is an additional charge for having a shower which was not disclosed on booking or on checking in which is not ok .
Also there was often long queues for using facilities
Whilst its not a huge area to camp it felt more enclosed by everyone hoping to be close to the river to fish which as stated was almost impossible.

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked Stunning well maintained campsite, with basic facilities. Pretty flat and on the river bank, with direct acccess into the river for kayaks etc. No probs having bbqs, fire pit etc, and could park car on your pitch.
Free tea, coffee, milk, fridge, freezer and power sockets in the small utility area

Disliked Site is larger than described, and although there was still lots of room, while we were there there was a group of approx 25-30 teenagers, all well behaved, but it did put pressure on the 2 toilets that are available, especially when in addition to the approx 10 campervans and numerous tents that were also pitched.
£2 charge for a shower which wasn’t mentioned anywhere on site description.
We chose to camp in the far camping field so as to be away from the large group, which meant a bit of a walk to the toilets etc (not a problem) but could of done with a water tap and bins in this field.

Local attractions

Offa's Dyke Path and the Severn Way both pass directly opposite the site, giving you lots of choice when it comes to pedestrian rambles. These long-distance paths open up a range of landscapes: while Offa's Dyke runs from north to south (or south to north, depending which way you look at it) along an Anglo-Saxon ridgeway, the Severn Way (as its name suggests) generally sticks close to Britain's longest river. If you've caught the walking bug, an active jaunt to the Shropshire Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (30 minutes' drive) or Snowdonia National Park (about an hour) could also be on the agenda. If energy levels run low, though, perhaps you'll plump for a restorative ride on the Welshpool and Llanfair Light Railway (30 minutes), followed by some tasty Welsh cakes. For a bit more history, there's the Llanfyllin Workhouse (20 minutes), Powis Castle (20 minutes) and the National-Trust managed Attingham Park Estate (30 minutes). If you like to combine the past with flurries of feathered flight, check out Battlefield Falconry Centre (30 minutes).
