  • Rural family-run site with well-spaced pitches and countryside views
  • In a rural location in the Shropshire Hills National Landscape
  • Pick-your-own spot stays on a nearly-wild park run by helpful owners
Venture to Lower Vessons Farm for a nearly-wild experience at a site in the Shropshire Hills National Landscape, 40 minutes' drive from the West Mid Showground in Shrewsbury. The scenery at this family-run park is stunning: see pics, then choose your spot in the 16 acres of dense woodland or on one of the vast fields. According to the owners, the main attraction here is having a back-to-nature break without any noisy neighbours to worry about (and they've spaced the pitches a whopping 50 metres apart to make sure that's the case…). Given the level of seclusion, there are no roads on site; access is over grass, and campervans are welcome. If the weather causes problems, the owners and their vehicles are on hand to help get you on and off the grounds. While the idea of being stuck at this site is actually rather a smashing one, you won’t really want to be restricted from roaming around top Shropshire destinations like Shrewsbury (half an hour’s drive away) and Ludlow (an hour). For explores without a car, Eastridge Woods (15 minutes’ walk) is well known for hosting mountain bike competitions and has trails that are free to use, whether you’re a beginner or an expert cyclist. If Lower Vessons’ rural location has you questioning where on earth you’ll find food, the answer is that it won’t be much bother – the nearest pub is a mile away (if you wish, opt for the nice countryside walk, which takes about half an hour through the fields and woods). Takeaways and restaurants are also within a couple of miles of the site. As part of the wild experience, this site has no showers, just portable toilet facilities. It welcomes campfires, barbecues and dogs. Guests are also welcome to bring their horse to the site for an additional fee (simply add it as an extra when you book – hay and straw are included); there are some stunning trail rides in the area.

Guests love the beautiful, private spot with amazing views & a peaceful, "wild camping" vibe. Pitches are spacious for privacy. Hosts are super friendly & helpful. Facilities are basic (portaloo, cold showers) but clean. Some mention slopes/rough tracks, but most loved it & are coming back.

Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked The owners were so kind and helpful- and very responsive.
The views were just beautiful. It’s such a peaceful place to stay. There are lots of lovely walks nearby as well, with a very nice local pub.
You can purchase log baskets to use with the on site fire pits which is a really lovely touch.

Disliked It is very off-grid. There are only portaloos, and no running water so difficult to even wash hands or wash up after meals.
It is a very beautiful though, and we would definitely return if only staying for a couple of nights. It would be difficult to stay for much longer than this as a result of the lack of shower facilities/running water.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thanks for visiting! We appreciate your feedback regarding the facilities; we are definitely an off-grid experience, but we're working on making stays more comfortable. We are aware that the tap and hose pipe is a slight walk away. We're glad you enjoyed the beauty of the site and hope to see you again!

A wonderful place to stay if you want peace and quiet.

Liked Amazing views, right next to Eastridge Woods for walking & MTB trails, clean toilets and showers, pitches well spaces out.

Disliked Can take some time to find flat ground. Cold water showers and no washing up area, but that is made clear under features.

Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked Stunning location and fantastic views of the hills. We had the entire field to ourselves, so was brilliant for the kids to run free. Very much a "wild camping" feel. If you like a pristine site with flat ground, mown lawns and hot showers this site is not for you. But for us it was perfect.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: So glad you enjoyed the wild setting! Thank you for staying with us.

Local attractions

It’s the walking trails that will lure you to this part of the world – the moorlands of Carding Mill Valley and the Long Mynd (40 minutes) are particularly popular for pottering around, while the Offa’s Dyke Path (55 minutes) is prime for long-distance roams. The site’s surrounding area is also coveted by walkers, with a wide network of footpaths to follow including one leading to the rocky Devil's Chair outcrop at Stiperstones National Nature Reserve. After access to attractions? Navigate your way to the National Trust’s Attingham Park for explores of an 18th-century estate home to deer or swing by Stokesay Castle (45 minutes) enroute to the lovely Ludlow (an hour), a town with Tudor-style buildings to gaze at while meandering around the market-filled streets.
