  • Adults-only site steps from the Shropshire Union Canal
  • Alderford Lake five minutes' drive; Market Drayton 25 minutes
  • Canalside for dog walks; on-site fishing and a café
If you had thoughts on an ideal setting for a hol between England and Wales, Hadley Park might well be it. It's in the Shropshire countryside on the border with Wales, next to the Shropshire Union Canal, and a handsomely scenic walk from Whitchurch, Shropshire's oldest market town. Hadley Park is a family-owned and run site that's set up for adults only. It has a small pond where guests can fish – for free; a big sundeck overlooking the pond, and a fully licensed on-site café serving fresh local produce. You can also have your hair smartened up in the Hadley Park salon: just enquire when booking using the details in your booking confirmation email. Amenities include a launderette and a washing-up area; there's also a chemical disposal point, and a modern well-kept toilet and shower block with disabled facilities. The park is adults-only and welcomes well-behaved dogs. A service station with fast food and coffee outlet is 400 yards away.

What customers say

Champs-only camp by canal, with lovely grounds & spotless facilities. Friendly staff, big pitches, on-site cafe. Great for canal walks. Note: hardstanding pitches could be better, slight road noise.

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked The site was perfect and a true home from home. I had to contact Dawn (bless her) numerous times for my own reasons - delayed arrival times etc and she couldn’t be more accommodating and helpful!
The camping field was great! And for our stay, everyone was so friendly and helpful! Especially as my tent fell down! Oops!

The facilities on site - showers and toilets were impressively clean at all times!!
As was the washroom too! Everything was super de duper clean and cared for.

There is a pay as you go kettle, tumble washer etc! We didn’t use but was tempted as I lived with tousled hair for 3 days! Ahh camping!

I would return in a heartbeat.

The cafe had a great on site for breakfast bite and the dog fields were a great asset (albeit we didn’t haven’t a dog!) but nice to watch when eating in the sunshine! ☀️

Shrewsbury isnt far for a trip out and Whitchurch has some lovely spots! The bear pub recommended!!

Hadley park was a great site - a real credit to the industry!

Disliked Could I stay and live please? X

Joyce camping pod (no pets)

Liked - Really nice quiet campsite
- Clean facilities
-Friendly owner who responded to a question really quickly. (Thank you)
- Safe (I was a solo femake traveller)

Disliked - In the photos a bbq is shown. This has since been replaced with a concrete plinth that you can place a disposable bbq on. No dislasabke bbq was provided.

Please can you make this change clearer when booking (perhaps update the photos). When I arrived had to imediatly leave the site again to visit 3 different shops looking for a bbq as I had brought food with me that night which i was intending to cook. If I had known I would have brought one with me.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thanks for your review. The itinerary listed clearly states no bbq are provided . Apologies for your disappointment. Old photo maybe misleading will definitely update
Kind regards
Dawn

Local attractions

Staying close to home from Hadley Park, the old Shropshire town of Whitchurch is less than a mile away, and the walks of the Sandstone Trail as well as the hacks of the Bishop Bennet Way are easily accessible via the Shropshire and Union Canal on site. Elsewhere, several famed Shropshire and Cheshire sights are within 20 miles of the park, like Chester Cathedral and the city's Roman ruins and amphitheatre; Chester Zoo and Chester Racecourse; the fab follies of Hawkestone Park, and the llamas, alpacas and 50 acres of greenery of Cholmondeley Castle Gardens. Nearby Shrewsbury is famed for its annual flower show and for its Darwin Trail commemorating the life and work of evolution dude Charles Darwin who was born in the town. More modernly, a good range of plays are held at the new Severn Theatre and several riverside pubs and restaurants are around at which to while the night away. The bars, cafés and independent shops of the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Llangollen are within driving distance: other top town picks are a picnic in Riverside Park, a stroll along Victoria Promenade, and a steam straight ahead on the Llangollen Railway.
