Church Stretton Camp and Fish (Oaklands)

On arrival, the 2 gentleman that greeted me couldn't have been more helpful. They suggested near by walking routes and informed me of additional resources such as firewood that I could buy. They clearly recognised that I was a first time camper and ensured that I was prepared for a night in the woods taking into consideration the high winds forecast for that night.
The wild forest pitch was as close to wild camping as you can get. Obviously when you book in January you'll expect the site to be pretty sparse however; the pitching sites where well spaced so I would expect that even in the warmer months you'll be a good distance from any neighbours.
Unfortunately I arrived following heavy rainfall, so some of the walks were cut off due to flooding however; if you check your OS maps there are plenty of trails worth exploring.
The toilet facilities were very clean until I trailed my dirty boots though them (for which I apologise).
On leaving the guys were just as helpful and I look forward to returning with my kayak for use on one of the lakes within the grounds.
A thoroughly enjoyable stay. See you soon.

I didn't know what I was doing and I almost sunk to my next in a muddy field.

Loved That you can camp in the woods and have a fire. Not many places offer that and gives a great sense of proper camping and wildness without being in the true wild.

Really great camping site with lovely views. Everything was clean and tidy. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The campfire is a must have later in the year. Overall, we had a wicked stay and would highly recommend.

Showers are a bit cold.

I found this campsite by chance and am so glad I did! It's such a beautiful campsite, I really can't find fault. We chose a lakeside pitch, despite not fishing, it was so nice to be right next to the water.

We were blessed with glorious weather so spent most of our time lounging around outside the tent, walking around and exploring the site. The woodland is beautiful with more little ponds and lakes to explore and even woodland camping pitches that give you a true wild camping feel.

The facilities are super rustic, which is fine by us, we take all of our own things with us including camp loo etc. which we empty once home. When we did use the facilities there, they were basic, but perfectly clean.

The location is great, with lots to do in under half an hours drive. We spent a day out in Ludlow (Ludlow Farm Shop is brilliant) but it's also not far away from places like Ironbridge.

The team there was super friendly and welcoming and the other campers and folks fishing were all really friendly, helping to give the site a lovely warm and chilled vibe.

There's not a single thing I disliked about it! Can't wait to go back.

I stayed for one night and it was brilliant. The woodlands were quiet and devoid of rubbish. Toilets were clean and the shower was hot. The hosts were very friendly and helpful and I will be coming back with my family next time for sure. Looking forward to returning.

The pitch was really nice , right in the woods at the back of the big fishing lake( no electricity). The owner and the staff are very friendly and helpful. For £5 (cash) we had a box of wood and fire starters, there is a fire pit available. Toilets and showers in two separate areas of the site. A little shop with essentials and soft drinks is right at the main entrance..

Nothing really, we stayed one night and found everything we needed.

How clean it was friendly and helpful staff

Should of booked longer

a unique place where you can spend time in harmony with nature. It has 3 fish ponds and 1 swimming hole. A large selection of places for a tent (by a pond, in a clearing, in the forest). Perfect places for a trip to the nearby mountains

The only small disadvantage is the toilets and showers, the quality could be better although it is a camping site and not a 5 star hotel. Nevertheless, I will definitely go back there.

Lovely spot in the Shropshire hills. Gorgeous scenery, picturesque lake, helpful and friendly staff. If you have young kids and you’re not there to fish, make sure you don’t select a ‘lakeside’ pitch: it’s where fishing parties camp and they can be loud. We were kept up until 1am and their night fishing equipment beeps loudly whenever they catch anything. There is much more space to spread out plus better views in the meadow, and it’s closer to the play area.

The space. Beautiful, quiet location but still close enough to town. Campfires allowed which was great. Playground area was super. Friendly owners and reasonably priced. Good choice of pitches, either in the meadow, the woods or by the lake.

No loo roll or lights in the (very dark) toilets. Toilets and showers didn't appear to be cleaned during our 5 day stay or bins emptied.
