What customers say
Large, peaceful campground with spacious sites, minutes from Shrewsbury. Friendly staff, modern showers, great value. Basic older toilets, but new showers are good. Open and dog-friendly.

Liked All the things we liked were:
- lots of space and freedom to setup wherever on a huge open field. We setup away from others for privacy and to ensure any noise from us did not affect others.
- access to river for our three man Kayak was excellent from this site.
- facilities are very good and very clean
- staff are polite, helpful and extremely accommodating
- WiFi worked from within our caravan in the middle of the huge field away from anything
- all funds goto charity so a non profit organisation
- very close to Shrewsbury town
- quiet, peaceful and relaxing
Highly recommend and we will be returning
Disliked Nothing to dislike

Very poor value, I will activity advise people not to go there.
Powered grass campsite
Liked Electric supply, space
Disliked Only a few toilets and showers for a very large campsite and there was no soap to wash your hands in both gents and ladies toilets. There was no toilet paper in any of the toilets either men and women. Disgraceful.

From the manager: Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry to hear that you were disappointed with the cleanliness during your stay, as we work hard to maintain high standards across the campsite and facilities.
Our team is on-site throughout the day and always happy to address any concerns when they are reported. Had we been made aware of the issue during your stay, we would have taken immediate steps to resolve it and improve your experience.
We would always encourage guests to speak with us directly at the time rather than only raising concerns afterwards in a review, as this gives us the opportunity to put things right straight away. We appreciate your comments and will continue working to provide the best possible experience for all our visitors.
