  • 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 a small fee per rod (maximum of two rods), 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

This adults-only spot boasts spotless facilities and a great canal-side location, perfect for walks. Enjoy the on-site cafe, fishing, and dog field. Road noise is a minor issue for some, but most pitches are grand.

Non-electric hardstanding motorhome pitch

Liked Very nice campsite. We had a lovely view of a lake and the fountain in the lake. Showers are very good, hot water and in a spacious room. Very clean. The cafe was great for breakfast. An enjoyable stay.

Disliked Nothing to dislike.

It was tricky finding our pitch when we arrived. Adding pitch numbers from/to the main signs would help.

The Little Barn camping pod (no pets)

Liked I chose the Barn. It was lovely, quirky and cosy. The shower rooms were kept clean and the area felt warm to change in. The lake with the water feature was a joy to sit and have breakfast. It’s great that there’s picnic benches. My daughter has booked with husband next month. We will stay again. Oh there is a cafe close by that has great food at affordable prices

Disliked It’s not a dislike really But just be aware there’s a little further to walk to the loo from barn. I’m still booking it next year thi

Fully-serviced hardstanding touring pitch

Liked Site was very clean, flat and well maintained. Apart from the busy road noise now and then it is a lovely tranquil site with the canal running behind it. Facilities are very good with secure dog exercise area and the toilet and showers are top rate, immaculately clean and well maintained with lovely hot water and even music piped in when anyone enters the toilet, shower block. Would have to go a long way to find better. Only stayed the one night but will definitely go back for a longer stay in the future.

Disliked Nothing.

The Little Barn camping pod (no pets)

Liked What a great site this was. We had originally planned to camp here but then we saw the lovely little barn was available so decided to book it.
We loved it! The hut is beautifully decorated, comfy, cosy and super relaxing as you watch the sun set over the pond.
There's sheep in the field around you and ducks on the canal at the back which add to the countryside atmosphere.
This is the ideal glamping spot for when the weather is unreliable. You still need your camping cooking essentials and need to use the shared facilities (which were spotlessly clean) but you get to settle into a cosy bed instead of a tent at night. The hut even has a radiator if it gets really chilly and also has a microwave and kettle.
Friendly owner, modern facilities, a small site so it's not overcrowded, great little fishing pond... What more could you ask for?
Oh and it's adults only so even more chilled!

Disliked Nothing... Loved it here!

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.
