  • Camping de gestión familiar bien mantenido en Shropshire Hills
  • Cerca de la frontera con Gales y a 35 minutos en coche de Shrewsbury
  • Actividades al aire libre y centro de artesanías en el camping
It might be old-school, but there's nothing too basic about The Old School Campsite in Shropshire, a family-friendly site 40 minutes’ drive from Shrewsbury where hiking the hills, strolling the scenic countryside and canoeing the Severn are all a cinch. The site’s close to the Welsh border and on the edge of the Shropshire Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, so expect lengthy walks through pretty hills and dales as well as splendid views all around.... and plenty of peace and quiet next to firepits in green fields, setting the barbecue smouldering for dinner and taking in the starry night sky. By day, stroll over to the site’s activity centre for a host of arts and crafts workshops: guests can embrace their artistic sides with silver jewellery, felt, knitting, enamelling or batik workshops on site, to wrap up stays with handmade souvenirs to boast about back home. If that sounds too laidback, spend time at the activity centre chatting to owners Rachel and Stuart instead. They’ll help guests to organise rock climbing days, paddleboard lessons, canoeing trips on the Severn and the Montgomery Canal, and mountain biking excursions on the trails nearby – or venture out solo on wanders along the long-distance Shropshire Way, which passes within minutes of the site.

Lugares de interés

There’s plenty hereabouts to keep even the most avid explorer busy for lengthy hols. As well as the long-distance Shropshire Way, the site is within half an hour of trails at Manstone Rock, the other Stiperstones (and the rest of Stiperstones National Nature Reserve), the Shropshire Hills and Long Mynd. Looking for a getaway for the history books? Dive right in at the House on Crutches Museum 15 minutes away in Bishop’s Castle for an overview of the area, then get a bit more specific at Snailbeach Lead Mine (check ahead for opening times) and further afield at Wroxeter Roman City and Vineyard. If that’s still not enough time in the past, glide to stately piles and old castles at Powis, Stokesay, Ludlow and Wilderhope within 40 minutes, or jump in the time machine for a day at the birthplace of the industrial revolution – the open-air Ironbridge Gorge museums. When travelling with impressionable minds, give kids (and grownups) a secretly educational outing among the beasties at Hoo Farm Animal Kingdom within an hour, hear about near Earth objects at the Spaceguard Centre and observatory 40 minutes away, or (and?) swim with the fishes (not literally) an hour and a half from base at Blue Planet Aquarium in Ellesmere Port.

Tienda piramidal Long Mynd (de tamaño grande)

Me gustó Spacious belle tent with bedding included.
Comfy bed and duvet kept us warm enough at night.
Pots, pans, cutlery all provided.
Outdoor eco showers free and clean.
Parking next to tent convenient.

No me gustó Camp shop was tiny, not much in it
Indoor showers were 50p- only two toilets and one was in the shower room meaning it didn’t always smell too fresh. Not even a toilet roll holder
Noisy neighbours-belle tents very close together and can hear everything.
Feels like you’re in someone’s backyard. No check-in/out service and felt very impersonal.
No signal, or WiFi that works so had to drive out to find where we’re going
Paid £5 for a s’mores kit that had a pack of marshmallows and chocolate Leibniz-this is not what s’mores is!

Excellent site with clean facilities and good customer service

Tienda piramidal Long Mynd (de tamaño grande)

Me gustó Close to nice walks. The WiFi wasn't too bad.

No me gustó The tent wasn't as comfortable as we'd hope due to beds being hard, especially single beds. Also there were no chairs to relax on and didn't see any heaters, which were needed due to the cold at night.
The campsite was quite small so we were near to other campers which didn't help when a noisy group arrived. However, the owner spoke to them and they were a lot quieter after that.

Nice site

Parcela de césped y suelo duro con electricidad para caravanas y autocaravanas

Me gustó To be honest not much, one of our worst sites, not the worse though.
The only thing it had going for it, is that the grass was short, and it's literally across the road to Wales.
Some fantastic walking spots, like Corndon Hill at white Grit and the Devil's chair. That's it!
There are activities but we didn't any happening

No me gustó The bathrooms were not nice really. Doors have glass so passers by could potentially see in? still no chairs in bathrooms even though someone has pointed it out last year to sit on after showers.
Names of site visitors on the notice board? Data protection?
There is no shop as advertised. Products from a fridge and cupboard, with honesty payment??
Finally, some motorhome stuck next to an hedge. Awful as no views.
17 mile from Shrewsbury, not down the road.
Would really not recommend if driving a long way!

Del administrador: We are sorry that you didn't enjoy your stay. It is so important that you have a lovely time with us and if you only ask we can always do something to make it better for you, rather than waiting until you have left.

The question marks at the end of all your comments suggest that you aren't actually sure of the facts...

We offered you another pitch based on your concern that it was too small, but you chose to stay on the one you selected when you booked. There are lots of photos of the pitch, and dimensions, to help you choose the perfect spot for you.

We aim to make your time with us as simple and and as easy as possible so your name is on the pitch list so that you can find your pitch without having to wait around for us. There is your name, together with your pitch number, nothing else. This isn't a data protection breach.

The shop sells ice cream, treats, drinks, milk, wood, charcoal and with pastries and bread to order for any day you are with us. Our website clearly states what we stock. Yes, it is an honesty shop with the ability to pay with cash or card, we are trying to hold on to little bit of trust in humanity in our quiet bit of Shropshire.

The glass in the bathrooms is heavily frosted so that no one can see in. We would like to save a little electricity and let the natural light do its job during the day time.

Yes Shrewsbury is 17 miles away, we are in the middle of nowhere. That is the beauty of our campsite and why people come to enjoy it. A simple site with fantastic walks and activities (that happen away from the main campsite area so perhaps that is why you didn't see anything going on)

Sorry you didn't enjoy your stay with us.

Great little site. We really enjoyed our stay and had a lovely…

Caravana en alquiler Monty

Me gustó Very clear directions from the road how to get there. Very warm, homely and cozy Monti caravan. No problem contacting the owners, plenty of activities for children. Beautifully kept grass, many toilets, showers and sinks.

No me gustó No WiFi coverage and that's a big no no for us. The owner says that we can catch WiFi closer to the family home however, I would expect WiFi for this price.

Small remote site

Parcela de césped con electricidad 3 (XXL)

Me gustó On arriving we found a petit site with a mix of glamping tents and pitches. Pitches were a good size. The site is situated in Shropshire near the Welsh border and offered activities and crafting which we did not know about until we arrived.

The campsite has little night lights which allowed you to see the stars at night.

No me gustó Unfortunately we did not have any phone signal being so remote so we had to rely on the site limited Wi-Fi to keep in contact with family. The pitch was next to a road but did not cause us to much trouble.

The showers were available for 50p and unfortunately the washing up facilities lacked hot water which was a pain when your trying to wash up.

Wouldn’t recommend
