  • No-frills site on a Shropshire farm with views of the Cheshire Plains
  • A 10-minute drive to Market Drayton; half an hour to Stoke on Trent
  • Meet the animals; farm shop selling fresh produce; wooded walks nearby
Set up in a remote spot with birdsong and farm animals as your morning soundtrack… Park Hill Farm is a scenic site on a dog-friendly working farm 10 minutes’ drive from Market Drayton, in north Shropshire. And in case you’re wondering just how scenic the location is… well, it overlooks the Cheshire Plains, Wrekin and the Welsh hills, as well as sitting alongside a woodland that is a Site of Special Scientific Interest. The site is set up for wild camping – meaning back-to-basics (and eco-friendly) facilities including composting toilets that use sawdust and a convenient washing-up station, but no electricity or showers. There’s no WiFi, either, so instead of scrolling on their phones, children can let off steam in the fresh air and get involved in meeting the animals with the farmer (new friends may include pigs, cows and cats). Sourcing supplies for a gas barbecue is simple, since the site sells free-range eggs from its happy hens, along with its own beef burgers, pork sausages and bacon, plus a handful of pre-packaged essentials like bread, milk, breakfast cereals and ice creams. As the site is a 'leave no trace' place, they do ask that you take all of your rubbish home. If you’re in need of any extras, the village of Loggerheads (10 minutes’ drive along the A53) has a couple of small shops, as well as a pub and an Indian restaurant. If you want to leave the car behind, Loggerheads can be reached with a splendid 15-minute walk through the country. (This is just one of several paths you can take from the site through the local woodlands and farmlands. The farm shop has maps you can borrow.)

Primitive grass tent or RV campsite

Liked Lovely site, friendly hosts, we hired a fire pit which was lovely, just for an additional £10. We pitched by the water trough so we got a lovely mid afternoon visit from the cows. They have a wash station and clean toilets too.

Disliked Another camper had their headlights on their car all night which shone into our tent. So we didn’t get much sleep - not the hosts problem though! There was loud music coming from somewhere in the night too which was bizarre because it really feels cut off from everything

From the manager: Hi Beth.

Thank you so much for taking the time to review us, and so glad you liked our site. John loved meeting you last night. Thank you for coming.

We are sorry to hear of your problems. The loud base music was from a concert, probably WestonPark or Shrewsbury, both over 20 miles away. It was such a still night, so the sound carried. We only heard it outside.

The car with the headlights was a nuisance. Had we known, we would have asked her to turn them off or leave. This was our first experience of a car camper, so we will be more on the ball for the next one. Thank you.

If you manage another get away and come back to us, be sure to let us know if we can help with issues on the camp site. We are truly sorry this camper spoilt your stay.

We trust you had a safe journey home.

Best wishes John and Pat.

Primitive grass tent or RV campsite

Liked Stayed for a night with our tent and very happy we did. The campsite was so peaceful and Pat and John very nice and accommodating. We even got greeted by the cows in the morning in the next field. Beautiful view and location, quiet and with a forest next door which has some great tracks which the dogs loved. Eco toilets were very clean and accessible as was water and a sink for washing the pots etc. We booked late and arrived late and Pat and John were extremely welcoming and all was efficient and organised.

site had lovely views and clean facilities and very friendly staff

Kevin O.

Primitive grass tent or RV campsite

Liked Superbly peaceful out of the way little no frills site, just my sort of place. The owner Pat seemed very nice and friendly. I did enjoy seeing the piglets and the camp cat, and I enjoyed just sitting in peace watching a very nice sunset. The price (£12) was also excellent in my opinion.

Disliked Nothing to dislike.

From the manager: Thank you for this lovely review of our site and camp cat! We really enjoyed meeting you, and hope you can come and catch more "rays" next year.

We know you were on a busy schedule so thank you for taking the time to do this.

Enjoy what is left of September and hope to see you in 2025.

Beat wishes John and Pat

Primitive grass tent or RV campsite

Liked >Very quiet and away from main roads
>Friendly welcome on arrival, with a little tour of amenities, tidy area and easy access to facilities available (fresh water, and a toilet)
>Choice of area to pitch tent (lucky me I was there alone)
>Trees along the one side provided a wind break and partial rain shelter
>Stunning view at the bottom of the field in the evening

I know only stayed for 1 night but thank you. I enjoyed my stay

Disliked The Rain 🌧 🤣

From the manager: Thank you for this lovely review. I hope all went well with the tent and the rain! We loved welcoming you here, and hope to see you again next year, without the rain.

Thank you for taking the time to review, I know you are busy. It means a lot to us that you took time out of your busy day..
Thank you again.

Primitive grass tent or RV campsite

Liked This place is a little peace of heaven.
If your a family a couple or travelling alone that's looking for somewhere that is quiet and peaceful ...... then look no further. You are waking up to birds singing in the tree's, crows crowing in the background, your view across the rear end of the field is phenomenal, you get greeted once arrived by the most friendliest people you will ever meet. The toilets and urinals are very clean, in fact they are spotless, there is a fire pit that you can all gather around at at night to chat about your day's aventure or walks that you have done.
The list can go on but believe me, this is a little place of heaven and I am most definitely booking again for next year.

Disliked There is nothing to dislike about this site.

Primitive grass tent or RV campsite

Liked This is an absolute gem! Nice field to camp in, easy walk through forest to nearby village. There are very clean portaloos available, a fridge freezer as well as phone charging points.
This is a working farm and cows and pigs are close by. You pass the pig pen as you come in and we were incredibly lucky that one had just given birth to three of the most adorable little piglets.

Very friendly welcome from Pat the owner, nothing was to much for her and also available via text if we needed anything
There is also a small farm shop on site with hands down the BEST sausages we've ever had. We would 100% stay here again!

Disliked Nothing

From the manager: Thank you so much for your lovely review. It's always nice to hear back when campers have enjoyed their stay. So glad the piglets were such a success, and you enjoyed the sausages. It was lovely meeting you and I know you are very busy, so thank you for making the time to review our camp site.

Hopefully we will see you next year. Enjoy the rest of the summer.

Best wishes Pat
