Onny Meadows primitive grass RV campsite

Liked: So many fun things to see and do all within close proximity to the site! The centre itself has a great exhibition and a lovely cafe. There’s a bmx pump track 10min walk away, Long Mynd is a 15min drive, there’s meadow walks all around the Oni meadows, a cute museum of lost content 5 minute walk away. A garden centre/camping supplies shop 2 min walk from the centre made sure we were able to grab things that we hadn’t intended to bring like a different style bike pump or extra gas. There is a river that runs through the campsite which is great for activities just be up on your water safety talks. Our dog is a bit obsessed with water so we chose to keep him nearby. However, dogs were welcome so long as they were well behaved and on the lead during walks.

Disliked: Not so much a dislike, but be prepared and bring lots of insect repellent just in case. There are lots of water sources and midges and mozzies love that stuff. Wearing plenty of mosquito repellent was a must for us.

Onny Meadows primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked: Great place to stay. Did some lovely walks and just over the road from stokesy castle. No showers but hey ho. The cleanest porta loo ever seen! Saw lots of different birds and at night lots of bats and an owl swooped over us! Perfect 2 night stay.

Onny Meadows primitive grass RV campsite

Liked: Perfect budget pitch for a night in the Onny Meadows. A tap, a bin and a chemical toilet are, as advertised, the only overnight facilities - but that's all we needed! A short walk to the Discovery Centre and the town, a longer morning walk to the woods on Norton Camp above.

Onny Meadows primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked: We loved the setting. It was great being surrounded by nature, the fields, the river, the walks. We also loved the cafe and the activities at the centre.

Disliked: It would be great to be able to take our dog into the centre, even if just a small area. Travelling as a lone adult with children and a dog this made using the cafe and the centre facilities difficult.

Local attractions

Start your stay with a visit to your local manor house, the medieval Stokesay Castle – it’s only 10 minutes’ walk away, so it’s easy to pop round for a tour of the house and the walled garden. If you’ve got an eye for historic buildings, check out the ruins of Clun Castle (20 minutes’ drive) and the National Trust’s Croft Castle and Parkland (half an hour) too. A stay in the Shropshire Hills should also involve some walks, of course – the landscapes around here are rather special. Top spots include Wenlock Edge (15 minutes) and the trails of Carding Mill Valley and the Long Mynd (20 minutes). Several local towns are worth a stroll, too, including foodie favourite Ludlow (15 minutes), Church Stretton (15 minutes) and Shrewsbury (35 minutes) with its half-timbered Tudor centre.
