  • Simple dog-friendly site in the south of the Shropshire Hills
  • In between Clun and Knighton, both 10 minutes' drive away
  • Great stargazing on site; footpath opposite for access to walks
Setting your sights on a scenic walking break in the Shropshire Hills? Bag a pitch at Along The Milky Way and you’ll be in prime position to get out along the trails of this lovely rural area. This simple pop-up site sits alongside the river Redlake about 10 minutes’ drive from the towns of Clun (in England) and Knighton (just over the border in Wales). It’s easily accessed from the A488, a couple of minutes’ drive away, and there’s a footpath just across the road from the camping field so you’ll be able to get straight out for strolls. Whether you’re planning to wander along the riverbank, explore some of the Offa’s Dyke Path or amble around the best historic towns in Shropshire, you’ll be well placed at this quiet little site, which is a little bit away from some of the busiest parts of the Shropshire Hills National Landscape. Dogs are welcome to join you here as long as they promise to be well behaved around the wildlife that lives on and around the site. Things have been kept simple on site, with just toilets and showers on the facilities front. The real bonus of this approach is that it makes sure there’s no light pollution to spoil your evenings of stargazing – the skies around often have some dazzling displays (hence the name of the site…) Both Clun and Knighton have plenty of amenities to keep you fed and watered – between them they muster several pubs, cafés, takeaways and shops, and Knighton also has a railway station for travels further afield.

Peaceful rural escape with stunning views & stargazing. Owners Jack & Mandy are super friendly and helpful. Pitches are level, well-spaced with clean facilities. Campfires okay. Approach road can be rough – use what3words. More toilets added.

Liked Excellent rural site, has good clean amenities with lots of little touches obviously thought about by the hosts, the hosts are friendly, welcoming and readily available if you need any help or just to say hi, beautiful settling with only the sounds of nature and the darkest sky at night for star gazing or just sitting in peace. Hot clean shower (£4 for 4 mins, so don’t forget your pennies!) excellent communication from the hosts before and during our stay - even noticing I had booked the wrong dates to the rest of our party and reaching out to fix my error! Make sure you put the property name into the sat nav along with the postcode and won’t miss it.

Disliked Nothing to dislike!

Powered grass and gravel motorhome site

Liked The loveliest campsite. Very friendly owners who have put a lot of thought into small touches - the gentleman saw my toddler colouring and brought him a large blackboard and chalks which he was thrilled with. Wonderfully quiet and peaceful, facilities are basic but clean and everything you need is there.

Disliked Just that we only stayed one night, not two!

Powered grass tent or motorhome site

Liked We stayed here for a few nights and genuinely had a great experience. The campsite has a really relaxed, peaceful atmosphere and feels like a proper escape from the busy day-to-day. Everything was clean and well looked after, including the facilities, which were regularly maintained.

The hosts were friendly and welcoming without being intrusive, and it was clear they take pride in the site. The pitches were spacious, and there was plenty of room to enjoy the surroundings. One of the highlights was sitting outside in the evening and looking up at the stars—the dark skies here are amazing.

If I had to pick one small thing, it would be that the access roads are a bit narrow, but that's pretty typical for rural campsites and didn't take away from the experience.

Overall, we'd definitely stay here again and wouldn't hesitate to recommend Along the Milky Way Campsite to anyone looking for a quiet, scenic place to unwind.

Liked Beautiful location, so peaceful with amazing 360 views. Loved watching the red kites every morning. Small campsite and facilities but perfect for what we needed. Owners were very friendly and shared tips for walking to the local town of Clun. Dog friendly too!

Disliked Shower temperature was a bit unpredictable but all facilities were clean and tidy. Otherwise a perfect stay!

From the manager: Thank you for your review. Also thank you for bringing to our attention the shower. Nobody else has mentioned it so it’s one to watch.

Liked Everything, flat pitches, good room between pitches, beautiful tranquil area. The owners were thoughtful and provided everything you could possibly need with some extra touches in case you forget toiletries. Fire pits were free and you could buy logs or coal for your BBQ, I would give them all the stars. The owners even came round in the evening to say hello which I thought was rare and a lovely touch

Disliked I wanted to stay longer

Local attractions

There are plenty of options for walks in this area, whether you choose to stay local or head out to a hotspot like Carding Mill Valley and the Long Mynd (40 minutes’ drive). The Offa’s Dyke Path is a popular trail too, and you can find out more about it at the Offa’s Dyke Centre in Knighton (10 minutes). As well as country rambles, the area has some lovely urban strolls. You may like to start in Clun (10 minutes) to see the 15th-century packhorse bridge and the ruins of Clun Castle. Hopton Castle (20 minutes) and Stokesay Castle (25 minutes) are also worth visiting, and the latter is close to the Shropshire Hills Discovery Centre (25 minutes), a useful hub of information and activities. Shrewsbury (an hour) is a pretty town to wander around, but if you don’t want to drive that far you may prefer Ludlow (35 minutes) – it’s got a splendid medieval castle and has developed a reputation as a foodie hotspot thanks to its market, indie food businesses and annual food festival.
