  • Small family-run caravan park on a farm close to the Welsh border
  • A 25-minute drive from Shrewsbury and 45 minutes from Ironbridge
  • Jacuzzi, play area, snooker, games room and fishing available on site
It’s all about the chilled-out times at Bank Farm Caravan Park, a small, family-run site on a farm just next to the Welsh border. At the foot of the Breiddens with Wales on one side and Shropshire on the other, this site looks to the south, meaning morning views are filled up with valleys and mountains. Of course, you’ll also have your pick of attractions on either side, from Powis Castle and Garden (20 minutes’ drive) to Shrewsbury (25 minutes) and Ironbridge (45 minutes). Now for your neighbours… Bank Farm is a small working farm with sheep and cattle, where the family has added their tender touch to the site for well over 80 years, resulting in a reel of activities. So, you might want to make the most of the play area, games room, football pitch and snooker room (this last one’s for adults only). For a proper pamper session, you might want to head to the jacuzzi after an amble around the local woodlands – these trees are packed with wildlife and the occasional wild deer roaming through, so you’ll want to keep your eyes peeled. And for some downtime by the water, there’s also fishing on site. When it comes to the basic stuff, the facilities have got it under control. There are two utility blocks on site, one with a specific family room, and there’s a laundry room for you to tend to any grubby clothes.

What customers say

A beautifully kept, friendly campsite with top-notch facilities, including spotless showers. Great for families with a popular playground and plenty of space. Owners are super helpful and welcoming. Stunning views and walks. Some road noise, but generally manageable. Ongoing upgrades planned.

Liked Just spent 5 days here and absolutely loved it! Have already booked to go back! Peaceful, beautiful views, brilliant location with lots to do around! Friendliest staff who make you feel very welcome from the start! Facilities are some of the cleanest we have been to with 2 new showers currently being installed (although there was always a shower available when we needed one, we never had to wait!) Perfect play area for children of all ages and also lots of well maintained grass areas for children or adults to play! Would 100% recommend.

Liked Stunning caravan park. Fantastic, clean facilities and a great children's play area. Dave was brilliant helping us set up as it was our first time out in the van and also helped start our car when the battery died as we were leaving. Will definitely be back.

Powered grass tent site

Liked This was a beautiful site, ran by very welcoming, friendly and helpful people. It is nicely laid out and the facilities there are excellent.
It is near a main road, which is great for access to the local area, but can bring with it some traffic noise. (This was not too bad at night though and we soon acclimatised to this).

Disliked Not so much dislike, more an even better if there were more shower facilities, as this could be quite problematic in the morning.

From the manager: Thankyou, we are putting more showers in for the 2026 season!

From the manager: Thanks for your comments. If you come back to the park , you can ask to be opposite the play area, those pitches are 100% flat. With regards to the goal posts again if you ask for them to be moved we are happy to do that.
Thankyou

Liked Jacuzzi on site for all to use. Mini games room with air hockey. Owners were very friendly and helpful.

Disliked Fast road right outside the campsite. To use the games room and jacuzzi you had to cross a busy A road

Local attractions

Back to the older ages… there’s many a trip far, far down memory lane around here, beginning with Powis Castle and Garden (20 minutes’ drive). This National Trust castle and country house hark all the way back to medieval times. Fast forward a fair few years and there’s a Tudor centre, museums and the home of Charles Darwin in Shrewsbury (25 minutes) or the Welshpool & Llanfair Light Railway (25 minutes) for an old-school steam train trip. For an open-air museum experience, the UNESCO World Heritage Site at Ironbridge (45 minutes) will send you through everything from gorges to Victorian towns and over the world’s first cast-iron bridge. But, how about mucking into farm life headfirst too? There are four museums including world war trenches, a Victorian school and an Iron Age Roundhouse to bring to life the past at Park Hall The Countryside Experience (35 minutes), as well as farm animal activities and play areas. Where else to look to? Well, there’s the walled cathedral city of Chester (an hour and 10 minutes) or the Welsh coast (an hour and a half), and Lake Vyrnwy (50 minutes) is a good shot for scenic shooting, mountain biking and horse riding sessions, or watersports.
