Power optional grass campervan site (small, four person)
Liked: Beautiful views and clean, quiet campsite with owners that were friendly and went above and beyond to make everyone’s stay the best it could be. We were offered to move to an alternative pitch if we wanted but were very happy with our spot under a beautiful tree. I also saw the owner helping a young couple to put up their tent who were struggling with the windy weather. Our little dog loved her first stay in the van and walking in the woods. Lovely place and even lovelier owners.

From the manager: It was a rough, windy weekend and I think you had the best shelter of all. We look forward to your next visit and just let us know if you want to reserve that pitch.

Liked: Beautiful views across stunning Shropshire hills, small quiet back to basics site with decent size pitches (all with super views), really friendly and helpful hosts, each pitch has its own standpipe for drinking water, option of using the lovely central campfire for BBQs or hiring your own fire pit/BBQ and wood for your pitch, genuine eco site

Liked: Camp site was great. Beautiful views, good facilities, nice owners.
Disliked: My only criticism is that the price to rent a fire pit was very expensive. We were there 2 nights and it cost us £56!
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Thank you for your review and your comment of good facilities. Yes our fire-pits are £28.00 per night to hire and is clearly posted and advertised. Hire includes a full load of logs and lighting kindling delivered to your pitch. Collection next morning for emptying and cleaning ready for the next campers hire. The communal firepit in the middle is FREE (with or without your own logs) so its a personal choice. You could bring your own fire-pit providing it is safe and wont burn our grass. Fire-pits are an optional extra we offer at the clients choice either when booking on-line or when you arrive at the site. There are no hidden costs.

Power optional concrete and grass campervan site (small, four person)
Liked: Stayed two nights in our campervan on this very peaceful site with fabulous views Our well kept grass pitch was very spacious with hook up and drinking water Owners Linda and Malcolm were helpful and informative Currently no showers but these are being worked on for next year We will definitely be returning
Disliked: Although we managed by using a kettle there is no hot water in wash up area
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Thank you for your nice comments which are appreciated. We are aware of the lack of hot water in the wash-up area. As a Certificated site, our planning permission does not permit permanent static buildings so our wash-up area is consequently outside, not ideal. We haven't been able to find a suitable "safe" water heater that is approved for use outside. We will be installing shower units in a custom mobile trailer over this winter. If we can incorporate another wash-up area next to the shower unit we will endeavour to incorporate it.

Power optional grass campervan site (small, four person)
Liked: Nice flat pitches, nice views, clean toilet facilities.
Disliked: It states campfires are allowed but then aren't really allowed, except for the communal one in the centre of the site, or if you pay them £28 to rent a firepit they have. We have a pretty standard firepit but the owner came to inspect it and deemed it borderline too low and he didn't want it to damage the campsite grass. Luckily, the motorhome pitch next to ours wasn't occupied and we were allowed to place our firepit on the gravel there. Otherwise, we wouldn't have had permission to use our firepit. There are only two toilets for the whole campsite. There were times when there were queues. No traffic of campers/motorhomes is allowed after 9pm so we had to rush back from dinner with family in Shrewsbury to not get scolded. It states on page that the pitches are spacious but we found them to be more cramped than your average campsite.
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Safe campfires are allowed. All we ask is that you do not burn our grass. We have a duty of care to all our campers any many firepits or BBQ's sold are downright dangerous. We try hard to keep our field in good condition for all to enjoy and our echo credentials are generally appreciated by our guests. If we allowed everyone to use disposable BBQ's or low ones, they would damage the field and it would look terrible. Lighting an open fire on private land is a privilege and not a right and we ask to inspect all firepits and BBQ's before they are lit.. We offer the hire of a fire pit which we ourselves fortified with heat proof shields and the price includes a large bag of logs, tinder and a flamer. People are generally grateful as it means they don't have to carry heavy supplies. They can alternatively use the free large fire pit in the centre. They are also advised that they can use disposable BBQ's on the central area which has a safe, grass free area. As you stated, the site wasn't full as we gave you the additional hard standing pitch to place your fire pit on and you had a spacious area between that and where you parked your campervan to put out your awning.Clearly you were spread out over 2 well spaced sites. We do stipulate no driving on the field after 9pm to protect children and to give other guests peace and quiet. If we didn't give a cut off time then guests could drive on when ever it suited them without respect for other guests. Please read our previous review. Most guests appreciate this. As regards queues for toilets, this is not something we have seen or been mentioned in any of our reviews. We do have a new toilet/shower block which will be commissioned over the winter to offer showers to campers.

Power optional grass tent site (medium)
Liked: Lovely quiet campsite with an incredible view over the surrounding countryside. Owners were lovely and we had the pick of the pitches which were beautifully maintained. Could take the car up to the field for set up but otherwise site was car free which meant the kids could run around with no worries and it was nice and quiet. Electric gate at the entrance which locks automatically overnight made the site feel very safe (they give you a code to get in and out) and there were automatic Lights at night in the toilets which was also really helpful. You are only 30min away from the ironbrige & their museums and close to several national trust places which are all great days out and from our tent pitch we managed to see some shooting stars and plenty of kites and buzzards aswell as several low flying helicopters which made the trip really special.

From the manager: Thank you for your lovely review. It is good to be appreciated with our camp rules to keep everyone safe. Not everyone likes to park their car in the car park but it does mean free range children can be safe. We hope to see you again.

Power optional grass tent site (backpacker, small, two person)
Liked: Excellent location communal fire pit was exactly that nice gathering on the Saturday night even joined by the hosts lovely helpful friendly people beautiful sunset as well will definitely be visiting again
Disliked: Nothing
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: We are pleased that you had a happy experience. We were also fortunate for some lovely warm nights and amazing views of the fireworks in Shrewsbury Quarry after the Flower Show. We like people to enjoy our communal firepit but we also appreciate some people want to experience their own private time. It's nice when the communal gathering is appreciated.
Check all the rules before you book.

Power optional grass campervan site (small, four person)
Liked: The view was great. Clear night will reveal many stars. The site was clean and secure. Good wifi.
Disliked: The list of rules were very long. You have to pay extra for almost everything. Pitch up says campfires and bbqs allowed. To have one you must rent a fire pit at £28 per night!!! They have a big fire pit in the middle of the field but you must buy wood from them to use it. You cannot drive on field after 9 pm, so if like us you have a camper and wanted to go to the local pub for a meal, you must return before 9pm. You cannot park your car by your tent so if you have a 12v fridge in your car you will have to keep walking to it. The last 2 points are out of the owners control but needs to be mentioned. Motor bikes were ripping around the field next door making a lot of noise. The flies were unreal. Hundreds of them. We could not leave any doors open. Took an hour with fly spray and swat before bed and still could get them all. Ruined our sleep unfortunately.

From the manager: Yes we do have rules to keep the site safe and secure. If you think driving around the camp-field when people are sleeping in tents after 9pm is acceptable then then this isn't the place for you. Power was available right next to your pitch As regards BBQ, campers can use their own but we have a duty of care to to ensure they are safe to use. Many campfires sold are not safe and burn the grass. We do not force people to buy our logs but appreciate them using ours as they are sourced locally and have minimal carbon miles. The flies are temporary and seasonal, perhaps you don't them have in cities. Extras are optional. Some people like to camp simply and others need more:, their choice. r

Liked: The toilets were in good condition, fully plumbed and lit. There were even sanitary bins to ensure hygiene on the site. Each pitch had the option of an electric hook-up. We really enjoyed the communal fire pit, it gave us a unique opportunity to get to socialise with fellow campers and stay warm together under the stars. The site was beautiful, with amazing views over the fields and hills, with Shrewsbury 8miles away. A wonderful dark skies site with a dedicated effort to be environmentally conscious. The owners were very welcoming and sociable, they made an effort to make visitors feel comfortable and relaxed.
Disliked: The only criticism of the site is that access is via single track lanes, which are very dark if travelling back in the evening (dark skies and all). Take care on arriving as the drive is also single track.

From the manager: Thank you for your lovely review. We do try to make everyone's experience restful and friendly.
