  • Adults-only site steps from the Shropshire Union Canal
  • Alderford Lake five minutes' drive; Market Drayton 25 minutes
  • Canalside for dog walks; on-site fishing and a café
If you had thoughts on an ideal setting for a hol between England and Wales, Hadley Park might well be it. It's in the Shropshire countryside on the border with Wales, next to the Shropshire Union Canal, and a handsomely scenic walk from Whitchurch, Shropshire's oldest market town. Hadley Park is a family-owned and run site that's set up for adults only. It has a small pond where guests can fish – for free; a big sundeck overlooking the pond, and a fully licensed on-site café serving fresh local produce. You can also have your hair smartened up in the Hadley Park salon: just enquire when booking using the details in your booking confirmation email. Amenities include a launderette and a washing-up area; there's also a chemical disposal point, and a modern well-kept toilet and shower block with disabled facilities. The park is adults-only and welcomes well-behaved dogs. A service station with fast food and coffee outlet is 400 yards away.

What customers say

This adult-only campsite offers a peaceful canal-side location near Whitchurch. Guests rave about the spotlessly clean, modern, and warm restrooms. The convenient on-site cafe, friendly staff, and well-kept grounds with a fishing pond and dog areas are highlights. Minor road noise and pitch upkeep were noted, but overall sentiment is very positive, with many planning a return trip.

The Kestrel camping pod

Liked Great site, location is good for Whitchurch and Alderford lake.
Site amenities where good, always available clean.
Lake was beautiful and if your looking to fish it would be a great stop off for you.
Small cafe onsite provided a lovely breakfast and is open 8-3pm.
Dawn the owner was very friendly.

The hut we stayed in was good and had enough space for 2 beds and 2 dogs. It did got hot in the day but the cold in the morning but if you don't have a tent or camper it's a great option. Value for money on this site is great compared to what you can pay in other areas.

We would definitely come back to the site and maybe stay on the hard standing or grass camper pitches in future which were next to the dog walking area.

Disliked Unfortunately we had neighbours who didn't keep to the quiet times which was late anyway 11pm-8am. The first night wasn't too bad but 2nd night they were talking and shouting into the early hours. I think it was 2am by the time they called it a night. We were in a hut with a van and caravan between us so am sure others must of been disturbed too.

I would reiterate this is not the fault of the owners but does give reason for why sites have night wardens.

FHU cement/asphalt travel trailer campsite

Liked Lovely site, spotless. Washroom facilities fantastic. Cafe is brilliant! Pitch 17 no noise from the main road. Peaceful and private.

Disliked Canal walk Into town currently closed so had to walk along main busy road but that's not any fault of the camp site, hence the 10 stats!

Local attractions

Staying close to home from Hadley Park, the old Shropshire town of Whitchurch is less than a mile away, and the walks of the Sandstone Trail as well as the hacks of the Bishop Bennet Way are easily accessible via the Shropshire and Union Canal on site. Elsewhere, several famed Shropshire and Cheshire sights are within 20 miles of the park, like Chester Cathedral and the city's Roman ruins and amphitheatre; Chester Zoo and Chester Racecourse; the fab follies of Hawkestone Park, and the llamas, alpacas and 50 acres of greenery of Cholmondeley Castle Gardens. Nearby Shrewsbury is famed for its annual flower show and for its Darwin Trail commemorating the life and work of evolution dude Charles Darwin who was born in the town. More modernly, a good range of plays are held at the new Severn Theatre and several riverside pubs and restaurants are around at which to while the night away. The bars, cafés and independent shops of the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Llangollen are within driving distance: other top town picks are a picnic in Riverside Park, a stroll along Victoria Promenade, and a steam straight ahead on the Llangollen Railway.
