  • Family-friendly site in the Shropshire Hills, near the Welsh border
  • Offa’s Dyke Path 10 minutes’ drive; Ludlow and Shrewsbury 40 minutes
  • Close to hiking and biking trails; campfires and barbecues allowed
Have bike, will travel… If you’re itching to let rip on your mountain bike and are looking for a site close to hills, ridges and challenging trails, Runnis Meadow Camping might just tick all of those boxes. Sitting on the banks of the River West Onny, close to the Welsh border, this family-friendly site has easy access to cycling and walking trails within the spectacular Shropshire Hills. The rugged landscape of Stiperstones National Nature Reserve (15 minutes’ drive), an area of quartzite rock formations, can be explored on foot or by bike. Keep an eye out for red kites and skylarks while you’re there. Walkers can also tackle Offa’s Dyke Path, which follows the English-Welsh border, and Corndon Hill (both 10 minutes’ drive), while mountain-bikers might like to sample the routes in the Carding Mill Valley and Long Mynd (half an hour). In terms of facilities, the site has fresh water on tap, plus showers and a toilet block. There are firepits for hire and bags of logs to buy, and barbecues are allowed. For provisions, you can head into the town of Bishop’s Castle (10 minutes), which also has numerous restaurants and takeaways. There are also several good pubs nearby that would make good rest stops on your walk or bike ride.

What customers say

A lovely, quiet, and spacious rural campsite with pristine, modern amenities like great hot showers. Owners are consistently praised for being friendly, helpful, and welcoming. The site boasts a natural setting with great views, a stream, and plenty of room for kids and dogs. Fire pits and wood available. Many appreciate the lack of cell service for a digital detox. Some minor notes include limited dishwashing areas and soft ground after rain.

Powered grass campsite

Liked The location was stunning beneath the hills and nice and quiet. Amenities were always clean and well stocked. Very polite and friendly hosts. Games and activities, as well as various other supplies were available to use.

Disliked Minimal/no phone signal so was unable to call when arrived as requested. Luckily the host saw us and helped us out. Slightly uneven ground across the meadow, which was something to navigate but caused no real issue with a low car and four man tent pitch.

Primitive grass campsite

Liked Spacious site
Modern and clean shower/toilet
Communal fridge
Very friendly owners - went above and beyond to help
Surrounded by countryside
Great atmosphere
Dog friendly
Good walks around Stiperstones and Nipstone Rock.

Disliked Not a dislike as such but if you need mobile data signal you need to be on EE, or get an e-Sim which connects to EE (I used a UK sim from Mobimatter app, use code 4M7BK40859 for a discount). Or just spend a few days offline :)

Liked Wow. Just such a lovely site. Not over crowded, nice level pitches, clean facilities with hot showers and helpful hosts (and fire pit hire was very reasonable) We will definitely be back. There was even a cake box shop with an honesty box. We (4 adults, 1 child and a dog) really enjoyed it and would highly recommend

Disliked The lack of WiFi signal made planning trips out a little tricky but we actually all really enjoyed the technology break!

Powered grass campsite

Liked A fantastic rural site with plenty of space. There are two separate toilets and two shower rooms which had toilet and washbasin. They were all very spacious and clean. Plenty of hot water too. There is also an undercover washing up area. Fire pits are available with wood to purchase from the owners. There was also a super little cake hut where cookies and brownies could be bought for a £1. There is a bus stop at the end of the road which was very handy. All in all a super site with friendly owners. Can't find anything to fault. Thank you.

Disliked Absolutely nothing.

Local attractions

The remains of an Iron Age fort are not the only draw at Roundton Hill National Nature Reserve (15 minutes’ drive). This Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) is also a haven for bats (who roost in disused lead mines), lizards and butterflies, plus birds such as yellowhammers and woodpeckers. Had enough of grilling your own meals? A thriving dining scene awaits in Ludlow (40 minutes). For a small market town, Ludlow has a surprising amount of award-winning restaurants, plus traditional pubs and deli shops selling local specialities. If you visit in September, you might also catch the food festival, which takes place inside the medieval castle. In addition to its castle and cathedral, Shrewsbury (40 minutes) is known for the Quarry, a garden stretching along the River Severn. There is plenty to do here besides admiring colourful flower beds and relaxing on the lawn: National Cycle Route 81 skirts the water, you can hire canoes, or let the kids tire themselves out at the Quarry Splash Park.
