I stayed at Big Bear for the bank holiday weekend with my husband, our 2 year old daughter and our dog. We arrived fairly late on the Friday evening and pitched our tent in the field with the caravans as we wanted electric hook up. Mark, the owner, was very helpful and helped us run our cable into his shed. He gave us lots of information about the local area and even gave us his mobile number if we needed him. The toilets/shower block is first class. It is spotlessly clean and really tastefully decorated. Never a shortage of toilet paper and complimentary handwash and lotion at the sink. The shower is nice and spacious which made is easy for me to shower myself and my little girl. There is a heated towel rail too which I thought was a nice touch. There is only one shower and two toilets per block though which may have been a problem if the site had been busier but we never queued for either. There are washing up facilities with hot running water, very good. If you want a quiet, peaceful break this is for you. We will definitely go back, we had a lovely time.

Lovely site. Was very wet when we visited but Mark was very accommodating and we parked up by the shower block next to the donkeys. Despite weather we had a good time. Nice walk to local pub.
Showers are lovely. If you want a quiet site in Shropshire then this one is a must.
No play area for children so may be a bit too quiet for some. Good area for cycling as quiet flat roads around site.
Melverley church is a little gem!

We visited Big Bear for a week after a really prolonged rainy spell so the touring site was very wet and boggy! What a quiet and secluded spot it is. The pitches are brand new hard standing which Mark, the owner now realizes he needs to upgrade to cope with really wet weather.
Shower and toilet block is brand new and probably the best we've experienced; 3 showers and three toilets (one of each for men, women and disabled. They were always spotlessly clean despite our tramping mud everywhere, as the wet weather carried on during our stay.
Electric hook up and fresh water are literally adjacent to your pitch whilst the waste disposals are at one end of the site and are currently a little difficult to access through the mud.
Mark could not do enough for us- he even found me whilst I was walking on the riverside to tell me that he'd made an arrangement with the local farmer for me to fish the River Vyrnwy, which is not easy as most of the river is in private hands. Result- a 7lb barbel from the flooded river, so I was well pleased.
Even his dogs and donkeys are friendly once you make friends with them. We were watched each evening by the cows in the next field and I caught a brief view one evening of a badger passing through the site. Buzzards soaring above the site were also a nice distraction.
We really enjoyed our stay despite the bad weather - the site is brand new so will get better as it settles down- we'll certainly be returning in the future to see how the site has developed.

Big Bear Lodge is a brand new campsite with fantastic facilities. Its a really beautiful part of Shropshire I had not visited before but is really lovely. Off the beaten track but good access and new hook ups and fresh water close by.
Shower and toilets brand new and best I have ever used. A small but friendly site with beautiful views of the hills just 12 miles from Shrewsbury.
A nice country pub just 10 mins walk along the riverbank. Dogs very welcome and great walks by river or through woods. Owner just opened and could not do enough for you.
Big Bear has everything you could wish for in a campsite cannot recommend highly enough - would definitely be back soon!
