  • Off-grid, peaceful Shropshire woodland site within a Forest School
  • A 20-minute drive to Telford and 30 minutes away from Shrewsbury
  • Well-equipped kitchen, eco-friendly amenities, firepits and barbecues
Fancy swapping the sound of your smartphone pinging for the noise of birdsong? Then book in a trip at Wrekin Forest Events Camping, an off-grid site with a back to basics feel in lush Shropshire surrounds. This peaceful place also comes with handy essentials to help amp up a weekend in the woods, from fairy lights and festoon lamps to a barbecue, firepits and a well-equipped kitchen (although please note there's no fridge or freezer due to the off-grid nature of the site). While a stay at this park’s all about getting lost in the forest (bring your pup along to help you sniff your way back...) or letting the kids loose on the large playing field (with swings, sandpit, football net, badminton and table tennis), ace activities and attractions are all around too. It’s a 20-minute drive to Telford from here for the landmark Iron Bridge as well as a kids’ park with heritage trails and an aerial rope course. If educational times for the small fry are what you’re after, it's handy to note that the site is set in a Forest School with activities like archery, air rifle shooting, open-fire cooking and den building available, and outdoorsy courses available for primary school pupils. It's 25 minutes from the Museum of the Gorge as well, one of 10 around town giving a glimpse at the history of the Industrial Revolution in this area where it all began. (If even more poking into the past appeals, Blists Hill Victorian Town is around the same distance with its recreated 19th-century village and staff dressed up in fancy period clothes… and should be a hit with those primary-aged pupils too.) To nosey in nature instead, The Wrekin is a 25-minute drive from the park: putter to the hillfort’s 1,335-foot top and check out views over 17 of England’s counties or have picnics at the peak. And if you’d prefer to just hang out at your new home from home, plenty of space is available for outdoor games like croquet, swing ball and Jenga (all available to hire from the owners).

What customers say

Vast, peaceful grounds and friendly hosts are a hit. Guests love the top-notch facilities, from fire pits to clean loos. Kids enjoy the forest school and play areas. Minor points include potential queues and a wish for more privacy. No Wi-Fi is seen as a plus for switching off.

Christie Lee S.

Non-electric grass and earth tent pitch

Liked Me, my partner, my little one and my dog absolutely loved this site. It's nice and cosy, it's decorated beautifully, and has a multitude of pitches. There are plots that are nice and big and spacious and flat, they have the different cabins which are all unique, then they have the pitches a bit more set into the woods. We wanted a "wild camping" experience for our son, and had the squirrels pitch right at the back tucked into the woods and it was perfect. It was nice and private and gave us the wild camping, rugged experience we wanted. The site was beautifully maintained. There were kitchen huts that were clean and lots of materials to borrow such as chairs, camping stoves, pans etc which we weren't expecting so that was a huge help. There was a mix of toilets, eco friendly compost ones and normal toilets which is amazing, as well as accessible toilets. One little thing I loved was the free menstrual hygiene items in the bathroom which actually came in handy during our stay when we're in the middle of the woods. Everyone we met, the owners and the person on site were really lovely, friendly, welcoming and helpful. They also have a forest school on site, which, as someone who works with young people who access different forest schools through schools and sites like this, this forest school is easily the best I've ever seen. The area was huge, with so many different huts, activities, and play areas. I was genuinely very impressed. It's also located in way where you feel out in the middle of nowhere, but if you are running low of supplies, shops are very close by. Overall, we absolutely loved this experience and will definitely be visiting again soon.

From the manager: Hi,
Thank you for your review, we are delighted you enjoyed your stay and we hope the others would not put you off from coming again. The family you are talking about will not be visiting again, their total lack of respect is not what we value on our site!!!
We hope, however, that we will see you again. Judie & Anthony

Non-electric grass and earth tent pitch

Liked Absolutely fantastic such an amazing place the team have a great set up and dog friendly. You can borrow camping items you may have forgotten, great kitchen facilities, running water and composting toilets as well as normal toilets and solar shower and the fantastic forest school for children to explore and be with nature all in the surroundings of a lovely forest walk and a great play area right behind the pitch x nothing is to much for the owner an the team they were absolutely amazing. A great getaway with out WiFi is just what is needed

Local attractions

In Shropshire with the intent of shuffling about in the lush landscape? Drive to Ironbridge first off (half an hour away) and steel yourself for a 139-mile stroll on the Shropshire Way. Alternatively, if that sounds a little lengthy for your liking, Much Wenlock is around the same distance and leads to the 19-mile limestone ridge of Wenlock Edge (and fun fact: it was formerly a tropical coral reef aeons ago when this area was under the sea). If this gets you craving some water-based whiling, take a stroll over to a Much Wenlock activity centre for canoeing, kayaking and rafting on the River Severn, plus quad biking and clay pigeon shooting on land. Boldings Pools (30 minutes) meanwhile is your go-to if angling for carp, bream and roach sounds like a grand day out...
