  • Peaceful 10-acre wild site with gorgeous views in the Shropshire Hills
  • A 10-minute walk to the Long Mynd; 20 minutes' drive to Ludlow
  • Pick your own pitch; village pub and café within walking distance
Choices, choices… it’s a pick-your-own-pitch setup at Mowbray Meadow, so you can take a stroll around and settle down with whichever view takes your fancy. And what views they are – this 10-acre site is in the Shropshire Hills National Landscape, with 360-degree views over the surrounding countryside. One thing you won’t have to factor in when selecting your spot is the ground quality – the pitching area is all flat and level, so setting up should be straightforward enough. Composting toilets and showers are available to guests, and you’re welcome to build fires to keep toasty in the evenings as long as you buy fuel on site (no foraging in the undergrowth for sticks, thanks – it’s very disturbing for the wildlife). Speaking of wildlife, you may well spot various beasts around the place during your stay. Red kites frequently circle overhead and you may hear a woodpecker tapping in the trees on a summer day. To see more of the locals, take a walk over to the nearby Long Mynd, where wild ponies roam. That’s just one of the places you could visit for a day out nearby – there’s also plenty to explore around Ludlow or with trips to the likes of Stokesay Castle and Acton Scott Historic Working Farm. The local towns of Church Stretton and Craven Arms are both less than 10 minutes away by car for cafés, pubs and shops. Even closer is the village of Marshbrook – it's about five minutes' walk away and has a pub, a bike hire place and a café that does a very fine cooked breakfast.

What customers say

Great site with awesome views for a chill, wild camp. Owners are legends, loos are clean, showers are hot. Close to pubs & heaps of walks. Basic but tidy facilities. Watch out for road noise & the walk to showers. Fire/BBQ bans noted by a few.

Liked We had an absolutely wonderful stay at this campsite and can’t recommend it highly enough. The campsite itself is beautiful and so peaceful.
They even had the cutest little goats that were so friendly.

What truly made our stay special, however, were the owners. They were incredibly kind, welcoming, and generous from the moment we arrived. Nothing was too much trouble, and they went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed.

Unpowered grass campervan site

Liked Spacious pitches, beautiful, breathtaking scenery. Friendly hosts. Pigmy goats, sheep, ducks and cows around. Red kites soaring in the sky above and even landing in the fields nearby. Lots of walking opportunities from the campsite. Fire pits allowed 👍. Pub 5 mins down the road.
This is a lovely semi wild site.

If you don't like composting toilets that may slightly smell! don't come.
If you don't like traipsing to get water or washing up in the sinks provided with cold water, don't come.
There's 1 shower..it's down the hill, if that bothers you, then don't come!


If you want to be in nature and be surrounded by stunning views and wildlife and enjoy a genuine camping experience then THIS is for you.

Unpowered grass tent site

Liked Big open site with great views. Just a few minutes walk to get food/drink at the local pub.
Wild style camping but with a bit of the convenience of composting loos and a shower(just 1).

Wildlife could be heard even if not seen.

Great friendly welcome.

Local attractions

Might you possibly have come to this area for a walk or few? It’s a very fine choice, as the Shropshire Hills are renowned for their hiking potential. Carding Mill Valley and the Long Mynd are the most well-known spots (and you can walk to the Long Mynd in 10 minutes or so), but there’s plenty more out there too. A good place to start for ideas is in Craven Arms (10 minutes’ drive), where you can drop in on the Shropshire Hills Discovery Centre. While you’re there, take a look at Stokesay Castle as well, and browse through the collections at the Land of Lost Content museum. For other days out, you can rent bikes in the local village or head to Church Stretton (10 minutes) for a round of golf or a dip in Carding Mill Reservoir. Acton Scott Historic Working Farm (five minutes) is a good pick for a kid-friendly day out; meanwhile, Ludlow (20 minutes) is an appealing prospect for grownups, with its independent food shops and restaurants making particularly tasty options.
