  • Small and friendly meadow site near the Shropshire Hills
  • Within 10 minutes' walk of Much Wenlock
  • Campfires allowed: logs and kindling available on site
Good times for all ages can be anticipated at Wenlock Edge Caravan and Camping near Wenlock Edge in Shropshire: if you want a peaceful and relaxed setting with stacks of space for the kids to let off steam, this family-friendly place will tick all your holiday boxes. The big draw here is the friendly vibe from amiable owners and seasoned campers Claire and Carol, who'll be seen on site keeping everything shipshape (and sorting out logs and kindling for your evening campfire). The modern facilities extend to showers and toilets with underfloor heating, hair dryers and heaters, as well as a laundry room. Other topping factors are the big and safe natural area for kids to run around in away from the main site, and the closeness of Withies to activities of all sorts, including hikes around the Shropshire Hills, industrious visits to Ironbridge and its museums, and mooching around Shrewsbury, under half an hour's drive away. Withies is set in six acres of grassy meadow on Wenlock Edge near the Shropshire Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. It's a 10-minute walk to the historic market town of Much Wenlock and its visitor centre, traditional shops and a satisfying selection of pubs and restaurants.

What customers say

This campsite offers a beautiful, peaceful rural escape. Praised for new, spotless washrooms (with underfloor heating), spacious sites, fire pits, and a good play area. Great location near Much Wenlock with views. Some found sites sloping; washrooms might be crowded during peak times. Limited on-site management and no recycling noted.

Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked Myself and my two children camped for the weekend and had an absolutely amazing stay! The site itself is spacious which is great for the kids to run around and with a great play park/sandbox as well!
It has a lot of activities and great market town only 15 mins walk away and lots for the kids to explore on the way!

The surroundings are beautiful and Tony with his family who run it are the most helpful and friendly hosts you could ask for! The have done some great work building brand new facilities that were very well maintained and clean! The kitchen, with fridge, toaster and microwave is all new as well and to a high standard!

We will definitely be returning!

SHIRLEY H.

Power optional grass travel trailer campsite

Liked The secure attractive entrance gates, the smart and spacious new toilet and shower block built with character and yet with modern facilities plus the location close to pretty Much Wenlock. The grassy camping field which does slope, is not at all formal or regimented and has beautiful rural views across to hills. There are fire pits with a plentiful supply of wood available to use.
Tony, the owner was very welcoming, friendly and always working hard to enhance the new venture for the benefit of campers, such as planting trees, adding electric hookups for shade and adding scattered picnic benches.

Liked Facilities, especially heated floors in the showers/toilets. All is in great condition, nearly brand new. Everything is well looked after, cleaned and restocked regularly.

Disliked Not much to complain about really. The campsite is on a bit of a slope -not terrible, but that's the only thing to consider.

Liked Quiet campsite yet close enough for walking to Much Wenlock. Fantastic shower and toilet block, looked brand new. Even had free wood for fire pits.
Great communication from Tony the owner. Also met Derek who was cleaning the fantastic facilities on Sunday morning and was extremely friendly. We will definitely be back.

Local attractions

Wenlock Edge Caravan and Camping is in prime position for Shropshire's country, town and historic attractions, from its setting near the Shropshire Hills and within walking distance of town. Much Wenlock is between Shrewsbury and Bridgnorth, with the Ironbridge Gorge and the town of Telford to the north-east. Within a few minutes' walk is the limestone escarpment of Wenlock Edge, a Site of Special Scientific Interest running for over 19 miles between Craven Arms and Much Wenlock. It includes the marked trail of the Shropshire Way, the bridle path of the Jack Mytton Way, and eccentric structures like the tower Flounder's Folly, which many walks around the area pass. The Ironbridge Gorge Museums should entice even the most reluctant of small Shropshire holidaymakers: this UNESCO World Heritage Site has 10 museums telling the tale of Britain's Industrial Revolution, including the Blists Hill Victorian Town and Enginuity, an interactive design and technology centre with shows and workshops. Also make time for a trip on the spectacular Severn Valley Railway, on its 16-mile route through the Severn valley and along the River Severn for much of the way. The track runs from Bridgnorth to Kidderminster; alight nearby at Ironbridge Level Crossing, or nine miles from Withie at Bridgnorth. County capital Shrewsbury is 13 miles away, and the market town of Ludlow within 23.
