What customers say
Fantastic, clean site with great, helpful staff. Level, serviced pitches and spotless amenities, including big showers. Enjoy riverside and canal walks, plus a local pub. Generally quiet, though some heard road noise and had iffy Wi-Fi.

Fully-serviced hardstanding and grass touring pitch
Liked Peaceful site very clean amenities, good chemical disposal point with wash basin and paper towels. Very level pitch. Close to a nice pub the Abermule inn and some lovely walks.
Disliked Entrance and exit only wide enough for 1 in and one out but there is nothing preventing you from meeting someone head on, not sure what could be done maybe a barrier or intercom for the reception to hold back someone who is leaving to allow entrance?

From the manager: Thank you for your review.
Hope to see you again.
We don't have too much of a problem, though very occasionally two visitors can meet.
There are two entrances into the Park, so it isn't usually a problem.
Clean well kept site
Fully-serviced hardstanding and grass touring pitch
Liked Very tidy site, lovely rural location great for walks along river Severn. Village pub close by serving food. Near to drive to supermarkets. Good facilities for us but I expect a little crowded in high season.
Disliked Close to main road and Trainline. Pitches close together.

Wonderful site and location, great walks in surrounding area.
Fully-serviced hardstanding and grass touring pitch
Liked Great location, lovely site. Facilities were very good, nice clean showers and toilets. WiFi worked well. Staff very helpful.
During my stay it rained at biblical levels all weekend, this caused the river to rise dangerously during the saturday evening and night. They moved us during the night as a precaution. They were really helpful and efficient and kept us all updated on the situation. Certainly have a story to tell after the visit 🤣
The local pub abermule inn is a great place to go, friendly locals and great food.

We will always put safety first, and our visitors were all understanding, helpful and kind about the situation.
Thank goodness that it is very rare that we would have to move people.
