Family-run site in peaceful rural Shropshire, with firepit hire
Close to the Montgomery canal and two miles from Oswestry
Within walking distance of pubs serving food; buy eggs on site

Guest after guest takes time out of their day to praise the friendly owners in reviews of Fairhaven Camping and Glamping – that’s got to be a great start, surely? But that’s not all this family-run Shropshire site has going for it, as the location’s likely to be a winner too: it’s in the village of Maesbury, just outside Oswestry, with walks and bike rides directly outside the gates. Local strolls might take you to traditional pubs for homemade food, or to the nearby Montgomery canal for waterside walks, rides on a horse-drawn barge or a stopoff at the canal’s central café for a scone smothered in cream. Heading further afield? The speedy A483 is a mile away for easy travels, but if you’re leaving the car behind you can flag down a bus just outside the site for jaunts into Oswestry and Shrewsbury. Time spent on site should be pretty peaceful – the park stretches out over four acres of quiet green space, with plenty of space to spread out, set up a barbecue or light up a campfire. Firepits can be hired here, and there’s firewood for sale too. Amenities include three toilets, two showers, two wash basins, a washing-up area with hot water, drinking water, free phone charging, chemical waste disposal, waste water disposal and use of a fridge and freezer. A chemical toilet and toilet tent are available to hire. One last thing that’s won a fair amount of fans? The chickens and ducks that live on site, waiting to be fed by visiting kids and providing eggs for sale in return.

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked: Was easy to find via sat nav, was a quick and informative handover. Very basic but has everything you need, having the chicken/ducks was nice for the kids.

Disliked: I gave 4 start instead of 5 due to the noise you can hear off the road.

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked: Nice location with lots to do in short driving distance. Clean and tidy site. Use of fridge/freezer and plenty of information about local activities on the noticeboard. The British Ironworks centre is excellent and loads of local pubs offering food.

Disliked: May need more toilets when busy. Would really like WiFi even if extra cost.

Stephanie K. Sept 2023

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked: Fairhaven is a lovely, quiet campsite, we were situated in a nice secluded spot which is just how we like it. Facilities were very well looked after and regularly cleaned. Carrie was a lovely host.

Disliked: Only thing I could comment on is that the showers are inside 2 out of 3 of the toilets so there could be queues for the toilet every so often, being pregnant I was probably in the queue more than most!

Local attractions

Getting a fix of rural life is pretty simple around here: take your rod over to Weston Pools Fishery (two minutes’ drive) for a day by the water or make friends with farmyard animals at Park Hall The Countryside Experience (10 minutes). If you time your stay right you might also be able to catch an event at the Oswestry & District Agricultural Society showground (10 minutes). Fancy a hit of history with that? Try Whittington Castle (10 minutes), which often stages goings-on like medieval days and ghost tours, or take an inside/outside stroll around Chirk Castle and its gorgeous gardens (20 minutes). If your tastes veer more towards the 21st century, check out the creations at the British Ironwork Centre or check out Cae Glas Park and the eclectic mix of shops in Oswestry (all about five minutes away). Folk who just want to get out for a walk should set their sights on Wat’s Dyke Way (five minutes away), take a waterside wander at The Mere (20 minutes) or nip over the border into Wales to stroll along the shores of Lake Vyrnwy (45 minutes). Fancy a pint at the end of it all? Head to Stonehouse Brewery, a mile from the site, for a tour and/or samples of some award-winning beers.
