  • Off-grid, peaceful Shropshire woodland site within a Forest School
  • A 20-minute drive to Telford and 30 minutes away from Shrewsbury
  • Well-equipped kitchen, eco-friendly amenities, firepits and barbecues
Fancy swapping the sound of your smartphone pinging for the noise of birdsong? Then book in a trip at Wrekin Forest Events Camping, an off-grid site with a back to basics feel in lush Shropshire surrounds. This peaceful place also comes with handy essentials to help amp up a weekend in the woods, from fairy lights and festoon lamps to a barbecue, firepits and a well-equipped kitchen (although please note there's no fridge or freezer due to the off-grid nature of the site). While a stay at this park’s all about getting lost in the forest (bring your pup along to help you sniff your way back...) or letting the kids loose on the large playing field (with swings, sandpit, football net, badminton and table tennis), ace activities and attractions are all around too. It’s a 20-minute drive to Telford from here for the landmark Iron Bridge as well as a kids’ park with heritage trails and an aerial rope course. If educational times for the small fry are what you’re after, it's handy to note that the site is set in a Forest School with activities like archery, air rifle shooting, open-fire cooking and den building available, and outdoorsy courses available for primary school pupils. It's 25 minutes from the Museum of the Gorge as well, one of 10 around town giving a glimpse at the history of the Industrial Revolution in this area where it all began. (If even more poking into the past appeals, Blists Hill Victorian Town is around the same distance with its recreated 19th-century village and staff dressed up in fancy period clothes… and should be a hit with those primary-aged pupils too.) To nosey in nature instead, The Wrekin is a 25-minute drive from the park: putter to the hillfort’s 1,335-foot top and check out views over 17 of England’s counties or have picnics at the peak. And if you’d prefer to just hang out at your new home from home, plenty of space is available for outdoor games like croquet, swing ball and Jenga (all available to hire from the owners).

What customers say

A beautiful, peaceful campsite with an authentic off-grid experience. Guests love the friendly owners, great facilities including forest school, and spacious pitches. While most enjoy the quiet, some mention minor things like occasional toilet queues or spotty cell service, which adds to the charm.

Foxes Den camping pod

Liked Foxes den was a perfect hideaway for the night for me and my 8 year old. The whole site was so peaceful, with great facilities. Had a chat with the owner who was super friendly and helpful, and told us all about the animals we would hopefully be able to hear later on. It was such a relaxing night away, and we can't wait to return.

Disliked Nothing to dislike.

Squirrels Family ready tent

Liked Very spacious tent, lots of more private outdoor space for our plot, excellent cooking facilities for a camping spot and the showers/toilets were well kept. There were lots of camping chairs for use and bed pumps, cleaning equipment etc. Everything has been very well thought through. Beautiful place and we felt very safe.

We had the best stay ever. Very clean and tidy. Hot showers.

Primitive grass and earth tent campsite

Liked What a great campsite. Facilities were amazing, clean and well maintained. Pitch was spacious and the host could not have been more attentive. The children loved being amongst the forest and especially seeing the hares along with park. We will be back!

From the manager: Love the photos, so glad you enjoyed your stay. We look forward to seeing you again soon. J&A

I can wait to come back! So happy :-)

Badgers Hollow shepherd's hut

Liked The cabin, beautiful bedding, amazing forest, lovely owners and so much wildlife! There’s nothing to dislike about this place, you can stay in the cabin, already pitched up tents or bring your own tent. We loved the cabin, the bed was so comfy and the bonus we didn’t have to put the tent down! Not a bad word to say, I can’t wait to come back!

Disliked Nothing everything was absolutely perfect. Only thing I can say was a shame was the fire pit ban but that had nothing to do with the site at all just the unpredictable Britain weather!

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you! Fab photos. We are so pleased you enjoyed your stay. We hope next time you visit you can have your fire pit! J&A

Local attractions

In Shropshire with the intent of shuffling about in the lush landscape? Drive to Ironbridge first off (half an hour away) and steel yourself for a 139-mile stroll on the Shropshire Way. Alternatively, if that sounds a little lengthy for your liking, Much Wenlock is around the same distance and leads to the 19-mile limestone ridge of Wenlock Edge (and fun fact: it was formerly a tropical coral reef aeons ago when this area was under the sea). If this gets you craving some water-based whiling, take a stroll over to a Much Wenlock activity centre for canoeing, kayaking and rafting on the River Severn, plus quad biking and clay pigeon shooting on land. Boldings Pools (30 minutes) meanwhile is your go-to if angling for carp, bream and roach sounds like a grand day out...
