Liked: Lovely setting along the river. The stars were incredible at night. Its close to Wem if you need bits and pieces. Farmer John is just a perfect host, friendly and great company and nothing is too much bother. We camped with a 1 year old a 5 year old and a dog and it was perfect.

Liked: Oh my word, we found a true slice of paradise right here! From the moment we arrived we loved it! John met us and showed us a pitch across from the main field where we could camp by ourselves, though the main field had just a few other campers there already. We decided to have the use of the hot tub during our stay, and John worked tirelessly to clean it, fill it with fresh water and prep it with firewood for our stay.
John and his wife Jan are kind and welcoming and it's obvious that they care about their guests because the whole site is immaculate and well maintained, as well as being in one of the most beautiful locations ever.
John checks in with his campers morning and afternoon on his quad bike and goes above and beyond to make sure everyone is happy. He even towed the large boat to a place where it was safe for us to enter and leave the river.
There are no electric points or showers but this just meant that watching the stars was made even more beautiful.
Out of everywhere we have stayed in our van, this is our firm favourite now.
Truly awesome place.

Disliked: We have no dislikes about this place. Everything was absolutely perfect and we will be back again soon!

Liked: Great campsite this, one of the best. Quiet and peaceful, edged by a narrow stretch of river. No showers but spotlessly clean composting toilets and a place for washing up (not drinking water). Hot tub if you want to use it, two man canoe free to use if you want to give it a go. John, the campsite owner, was very friendly and came down every evening to get everyone's fire pit going for them. Loads of places for kids to play or explore. Would definitely recommend, will definitely be back.

Liked: Location was peaceful and very beautiful. Loved the simplicity, we have a camper and can survive with no electric hook up.
Be aware there is a naturally powered hot tub and composting toilets but that’s it…it’s about being with nature.
Great location for star gazing on a clear night.
Warm welcome by John, will be back.
