Camping at West Midlands Showground

Ik was blij met Convenient for town centre

Ik was niet blij met No electricity in shower block on Sunday( no light or hot water).
Stayed here before on 2 occasions where gates are locked at night , these weren't locked while were there and the code for the side door to get in didn't work

Van de manager: Thanks for your feedback - we are sorry about the electricity, we were made aware later on and was easily rectified. we didnt receive a message to the oncall conatct number, so not sure what happened.

Ik was blij met Easy fast and friendly check in and showed us to our pitch. Good information letter with numbers and codes if needed. Nice and quiet and relaxing in January. Hope to visit again in future. Good location, Only a 20 minute walk to Shrewsbury.

Ik was niet blij met No hot water for shower on last day after I had a run. Toilets need to be cleaner.

Ik was blij met Quiet. Very close to local amenities. Warm welcome and lots of advice. It is not a campsite in the traditional sense, it doesn’t need to be as everything is close enough in the town to walk to.

Ik was blij met Very relaxed and friendly site. Showers are excellent - no push buttons, very clean and toilets in the cubicles

Ik was blij met The pitches are very well kept and importantly flat. It was really easy to check in and we were shown around with ease. Showers were not warm on first inspection but the site manager knocked on to say he had fixed it. We really enjoyed our stay, so close to the town centre.

Ik was niet blij met There was no reception. We were told that the toilets were being worked on so there was a porta style system of 4 toilets and showers. These were filthy and freezing cold. It is January and the heating was not on how we were expected to have a shower in such conditions is beyond me.

Van de manager: We are sorry you didnt have an enjoyable stay - although we are a litle confused as the review above this one and below it all commented on how well the shower facilities were , yes we became aware of an issue as reported but was soon easily rectified (this after a minus 7 degree night) - we dont encourage people to use the static facilities this time of year and all our customers are encouraged to use the £40k bespoke shower and toilet facility, we are not a campsite, but a Showground with some facilities as described in our details, but all our guests are welcomed with a welcome pack and a number that can be contacted should there be any problems.

You were in fact welcome by myself who explained everything to you on your arrival, it is always disapointing when we provide all the information to our guests, who then only see fit to "eat the full course then complain afterwards", we belive we provide excelent value for money considering our location to Shrewsbury, but if you are looking for 3 - 5 star then we are not your campsite, but with avery high customer return rate, we must be doing something right.

For Clarity

After commission you paid us £59.50
After cost of sales at an industry standard of 35%
That leaves us with £38.68 divided by 2 nights is £19.34 divided by 2 people is £9.67 per person per night.

Ik was blij met Clean hot showers, short walk along the river into town centre, lots of lovely independent shops, bars, restaurants and a lovely market hall

Ik was blij met Great location short walk to Shrewsbury town. Very quiet. Plenty of space between vans cant fault it. We are going again next weekend for 2 nights.

Ik was blij met The space we had and location to Shrewsbury

Ik was niet blij met The place, the facilities were awful, the buildings on site were derelict and the price

Van de manager: We are really dispointed with this comment - I spoke to you and your daughter insisted on parking on the grass miles away from the facilities, despite my best efforts to encourage you to move to a better spot and not on the grass in the mud !

We are a Showground that is over 150 years old with historic buildings - I guess you didnt use the £40k bespoke shower and toilet facility.
