  • Spacious pitches on a Shropshire farm a 15-minute drive from Oswestry
  • Shropshire Sculpture Park five minutes’ drive; Telford 40 minutes
  • Family- and dog-friendly site; pub and buses within a 20-minute walk
In rural Shropshire, 15 minutes’ drive from Oswestry, Red Oak Camping is a welcoming site on a family-run working cattle farm; the presence of resident animals at some sites often means that you can’t bring dogs, but happily that is not the case here, where your well-behaved four-legged companion will be a welcome guest (though bear in mind that there is an extra charge). There are assorted accommodation options here, and what unifies them all is the feeling of spaciousness and the utterly peaceful vibe – give or take the occasional lowing from the cows… Guests also benefit from such amenities as a toilet and shower block, an outdoor washing-up area and ice-pack freezing, as well as recycling points, chemical waste disposal and charging facilities for electric cars. Mind you, you might not need to recharge your car until the day you leave, since it only takes 20 minutes on foot to reach the village of West Felton, from where a bus service links to places such as Oswestry, Shrewsbury (25 minutes) and Telford (40 minutes). West Felton also has a pub serving food – that’s if you don’t fancy firing up the barbecue for dinner – and there’s another pub within a half-hour walk (or five minutes’ drive), on the Montgomery Canal, which runs through Shropshire and Powys and is a pretty spot for a post-lunch walk.

Powered grass tent or trailer tent site

Liked We stayed here for two nights and really enjoyed it. The campsite is in a lovely, peaceful area, with a few attractions nearby to explore. The facilities were excellent and very clean, including a well-equipped kitchen. The toilets were spotless, always stocked with toilet paper, and even had air fresheners. The showers had a good, steady supply of hot water, which was perfect after a day out. Most importantly, the owner was extremely friendly and welcoming, which made our stay even more pleasant. Highly recommended!

Alex H.

Fully-serviced grass tent or trailer tent site

Liked Very nice peaceful site in a good location run by friendly, helpful people. Having a kitchen to use with big fridge freezer, oven, kettle toaster and microwave is a nice touch, also enjoyed nightly campfires. 3 pubs in walking distance, Queens Head the nicer of the 3. Definitely no "dislikes", fairly new site, facilities being worked on at the moment to extend, be great when finished. Would stay again.

Powered grass tent or trailer tent site

Liked This is a fantastic campsite. The owners were so lovely. Pitches were well spaced out and spacious. Facilities were very clean, and although there is only two toilets, this was never a problem and they are in the process of building more. Toy shed was a very welcome addition, which we have not had at a campsite before. Our two year old loved every minute. Would definitely stay again.

Local attractions

Shropshire Sculpture Park (five minutes’ drive) exhibits more than 100 artworks on the lush grounds of the British Ironwork Centre. They include the 13-foot Spoon Gorilla (made out of – you guessed it: spoons; upwards of 40,000 of them, donated by people all around the world) and a sculpture honouring police dogs. Dating from the 11th century, moated Whittington Castle (10 minutes) occupies a 12-acre site that is home to ducks, swans and other wildlife. Among the events organised at the castle are alfresco theatre performances, living history weekends and craft fairs. A northbound drive along the A5 takes you past the early 19th-century Chirk Aqueduct (25 minutes), whose arches stretch across the border between England and Wales, and all the way to Chirk Castle (half an hour). This National Trust property is home to a collection of decorative arts that includes a spectacular Japanese chest with mother-of-pearl details.
