  • Family-run site on a farm in stunning south Shropshire
  • A 15-minute drive to Bridgnorth; 25 minutes to Ironbridge museums
  • ‘Leave no trace’ site with lots of wildlife and lovely views
Come and unwind at Monkhopton Meadow Camping, where the meadow is just the place for a peaceful stay in the south Shropshire hills. This is a real natural set-up, excellent for those who are looking to switch off somewhere where it's just you, an open field with splendid views and wildlife, and a simple composting toilet and hand-washing facilities. And if you'd like to try something new, sign yourself up for the on-site clay shooting or animal experiences. A wander around the site rewards you with views of the livestock on the surrounding hills, streams on site and lots of birds singing in the trees. It’s all rather relaxed and gorgeous – and to keep it that way you’ll be asked to respect the natural environment and other guests and to ‘leave no trace’, taking care to remove your rubbish and leave the place as you found it. Shopping local is another good way to have a positive impact on the area – and luckily that’s easily done as it’s only about five minutes’ drive to the pretty village of Ditton Priors for a shop, a café and a local butcher. More shops, places to eat and other amenities are on hand in Bridgnorth (15 minutes’ drive) and foodie favourite Ludlow (half an hour). If you need any extra items, there's plenty of stuff available to hire from the site, including but not limited to food hampers, bags of ice, blow-up airbeds, hammocks, camping chairs, gazebos, an extra tent and a travel cot.

What customers say

This peaceful, tranquil campsite offers solitude in an open meadow with spectacular Shropshire views. Guests loved the space, playground, and friendly hosts. Ideal for back-to-basics or wild camping, with wildlife sightings & clear night skies. One campervan reviewer noted water supply/pitch issues, finding it overpriced.

Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite (wild)

Liked We had the best camp I think we've ever had here. We saw part of the aurora and wild deer roaming around. The clearest sky I've seen.
The owners just fantastic, we had home reared lamb, eggs and got pizza delivered at night. We loved the farm dog too she was a beauty called Ruby that cruises round on the truck.
We could pitch where we liked in the field which was a joy. Easy to find and a little gem of a pantry up the road. We will definitely be back. Great job guys thank you for letting us enjoy your land.

Woodchip powered travel trailer campsite

Liked This was our first weekend away in 12 months due to having an issue with the van. But we had a great time! It was quite, relaxing, peaceful and we spent quality time with friends. Lynn and Matt are great hosts and couldn't do enough for us! Anything we needed or asked for they were able to help with.
We have enjoyed every minute and will definitely be back in the future. Thanks again for everything.

Liked A lovely quiet site with a field to your self. Easy access to Bridgnorth.

Disliked No water on site- had to go 1 mile to collect. We brought our own toilet so didn’t use their compostable one!

Paul B.

Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite (wild)

Liked We loved this site, perfect for a bit of back-to-basics camping. We only spent one night there, but it was ideal for what we wanted. If you enjoy a good, peaceful, wild camping experience, without the worry of being moved on, then this site is ideal and reasonably priced. There's loads of room to find a nice secluded spot to pitch, and there's also some great views over Shropshire's rolling countryside. The owners of the site are really friendly and helpful, and they have a number of camping items that can be loaned should you forget something vital. There's an honesty box on site which has various goodies in, and for anything else the owners are just a message away. We had a very peaceful stay and are looking forward to visiting again soon.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thanks for the lovely review. It's nice to know the location is appreciated and enjoyed by others :)
We look forward to welcoming you back

Local attractions

Monkhopton is just outside the Shropshire Hills National Landscape, so that means lots of walks and bike rides are easily accessible from here. If you’d like a bit of woolly company for your walk, book yourselves in for alpaca treks (short family-friendly ones or longer outings) with Severn Valley Alpacas (25 minutes’ drive). Bridgnorth (15 minutes) is a nice place to wander around too, with a castle and the waterside DanIels Mill to visit; you can also hire canoes in town for paddling along the River Severn. Dudmaston Estate, just outside Bridgnorth (20 minutes from Monkhopton) has an excellent art collection as well as pretty terraced gardens; other stately homes to visit nearby include Stokesay Castle (25 minutes) and Attingham Park (half an hour). For different views on history, go all the way back in time at Wroxeter Roman City or explore the many attractions of Ironbridge (both 25 minutes), which has interactive exhibits at Blists Hill Victorian Town and Enginuity and a tile museum (plus the bridge itself, of course).
