Family-run dog-friendly site in the village of Aston on Clun
20 minutes' drive from Ludlow and 40 minutes from Shrewsbury
Easy access to the Shropshire Way and a short walk from local pub

Spectacular views, spacious pitches and only a short stroll from the village pub… that’ll do nicely, eh? Have them all at peaceful family-run Wayside Camping, in the petite village of Aston on Clun. The outlook here is of the Shropshire Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, a gorgeous area that furnishes guests with a very fine backdrop to an afternoon of chilling out or an evening gathering round the firepit or barbecue. It’s also a fab place to take your boots or bike – walking and cycle trails here cater for all comers from leisure strollers to more intrepid mountain bikers. Town time can be had nearby foraging in foodie Ludlow or meandering through medieval Shrewsbury, and there are a bunch of National Trust estates to gawp at too. Back at base, owners Ian and Tracy keep their nifty tourist info board updated with details of various local attractions and events. This quiet site hasn’t gone over the top with heaps of facilities: pitches have electrical supplies and guests have access to a modern toilet block with showers and a washing-up area. A shop is a few minutes’ walk away in the village, as is that all-important country pub (with a fine range of real ales, you may be chuffed to hear).

Powered grass campsite

Liked: Excellent facilities, excellent staff. The extras such as a freezer and family shower room, ice cream at the bar, local honey for sale, our extras were catered for (we asked for a quiet pitch due to me having autism and they really thought about that and delivered). Staff were all happy and friendly. Local produce used throughout

Liked: View and area

Disliked: Stand pipe threads had gone so difficult to attach a pipe, sockets not working on electrical hook up

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Good morning, thankyou for taking the time to leave a review as all feedback is important to us. Regarding the taps, we will have a look at the threads as they do wear over time. As for the sockets not working on the electrical hook ups, we have tested them and they are working fine and the guests, who came on the pitch the same day as you left, have had no problems. At no time during your 2 night stay did you inform us that you didn't have electric and had it been brought to our attention, then it would have been resolved. There was personnel on site at all times who could have sorted it.
Best wishes
Tracy & Ian

Local attractions

Walkers may like to make their way to the Shropshire Way, a long-distance path that’s been carved up into lots of smaller portions, or head for the hilly heaths of Carding Mill Valley, 20 minutes away. While you’re there, hike up to the top of the Long Mynd for some fab views. Meanwhile, mountain bikers can test their skills on the trails 10 minutes away at Hopton Woods. This area is also home to a fine collection of castles: Stokesay Castle (five minutes away), the ruined Clun Castle (15 minutes) and Ludlow Castle (20 minutes) are all worth a stop. Ludlow’s also the place to pick up local eats at one of the local markets or independent shops. For more historic wanderings, take a trip to Shrewsbury, 40 minutes away, to see the famed black and white buildings, the abbey and another castle (of course). Or take your pick from the local National Trust piles: Attingham Park, Berrington Hall and Morville Hall are all within a 40-minute drive.
