 This site is situated a mile from Bewdley and has some lovely views. The walk to Bewdley along the busy main road can be made much more pleasant by taking the right hand turn 100 metres from the camp site entrance. This takes you downhill to Bewdley via a very quiet residential road with many attractive cottages and older houses.
The 15 caravan pitches are on a level site some of which are located between flower beds and there is a fishing pool down the drive that has a number of pink and white water lilies (although the water surface was filmy at the time of our visit.
The roomy shower is new with a walk in shower cubicle and free hot water which is piping hot and has plenty of room for clothes etc.
There is a farm shop on site which has a good selection of fresh fruit and veg, cheeses, ice cream, cakes etc. There is also a café on site (we did not visit the café). It closes at 2pm on Sunday and 3pm on Weekdays.
During our weekend visit all caravan pitches were full and there were probably about half a dozen tents in the tent field. It was by no means full though as the tent field was very large. The facilities are in no way adequate even for the lower occupancy during our visit. There are only two showers, one for men and one for ladies and two toilets for men and two for ladies. There is one unisex/disabled toilet. The toilets were very dirty by mid afternoon and the toilet paper has run out. The shower was also muddy by the end of the day. The two wash hand basins in the toilets were tiny and there was no hot water so it was a cold wash if you weren’t having/queuing for the shower. There are two sinks in the washing up area one of which had no hot water and the other one had very low pressure.
It has been mentioned previously that it is a laid back site with no strict adherence to rules. This is correct – a dog was not leashed and deposited excrement outside our awning. This was cleared up after I contacted the site owner by phone. It was also very noisy – there were two large parties pitched next to us and no attempt was made to keep the noise down at night. At one point a television was on all afternoon and audible to all. The tents also comprised large groups and there was lots of shouting and singing going on.
If you want peace and quiet to enjoy the lovely views then I would suggest visiting mid week and definitely not in the school holidays.
Bewdley is a very attractive location to stay with the Severn Valley Railway and the Wyre Forest close by. There are many beautiful walks to choose from. The “Merchant Fish Bar” in Bewdley (Midlands Takeaway of the Year) has excellent fish and chips and Bewdley itself has a good deli, butchers, off license and numerous pubs and eating places. I would recommend “Peacocks” for an old fashioned afternoon tea served on china tea service with a good selection of homemade cakes.

This was our first time camping and we had a fantastic time, we stayed over the bank holiday weekend so it was very busy but it only added to our experience.
We had a few problems finding site,mainly due to badly written directions, but Mr Hopley was on hand via phone to help us, he then made sure we found the right spot and throughout our stay checked if we were okay. The kids said it was their best weekend ever!
The showers were very busy but then it was bank hol weekend, campfire was enjoyed by all, logs and fire pit supplied by campsite at reasonable price.
The local town is small, but a lovely fish and chip shop can be found by the river.

Stayed at this site for the weekend. Campsite owner really helpful, had a choice of pitches and able to hire out a fire bucket and wood which was lovely. As other reviews have stated, there are only 2 ladies and 2 male toilets and 2 showers which we didn't feel was adequate considering the amount of people on the site. Really great location - Bewdley a lovely place to visit, especially the museum which is free. Great fish and chip shop in the town too. The only thing that put us off this site was the noise levels after 11pm. I appreciate this has nothing to do with the site. Perhaps we were just unlucky to have inconsiderate people staying there, shouting and swearing at the top of their voices well into the early morning. There seemed to be a lot of people driving cars around the site late into the evening as well. All in all, I would say great site, think the noise put us off

Went to this site as part of a caravan rally. The owner was very helpful but the field was not the best for caravans being rather uneven in all directions where the electrical hookups were. Saying this if hookups were not required then a level flat area would have been available. The site was very full with people pitching where they wanted to. Toilets and showers not sufficient for the number of units on site. Never the less we enjoyed our weekend but would go back on the main site in future not on the rally field. There was a lovely pub just down the road The Hop Pole excellent food.

Very tidy site. About 1.1 mile from Bewdley town but some big hills on the way so not easily walkable.
The camping area is all on a sloping to various degrees. There is no pitch markings which is good but there is very few areas that are level enough to be comfortable. The site does feel very open to the elements but has some very nice views.
The play area is vary small and my daughter and the friends she made there were not overly impressed with it.
The shop on site was well priced and carries a good range of goods.
Toilets on the site are clean and tidy but there is only 2 ladies and 2 mens, an additional few portaloos have been put in the feild but they are right in the middle so most people didn't want to use them as to open.
One massive plus point on the place is the family toilet, As a dad taking my very young daughter it is useful to have this facility.

This was our first time camping and we chose this site to be our first encounter. Although the boiler had broken so there was no hot water from taps it didn't dampen our spirits. The shop was very well stocked, wood fires to hire on a night were great. Site staff were lovely, just needed more toilets. Play ground was great for our 9 and 7 yr olds. Showers were hot and roomy.

Top jolly site!
We visited this site with a group of friends this weekend and had a wonderful time. We chose the site because it was close by, had (5) good reviews and allowed you to have a campfire.
What I would say is that the pics currently on this site do not do it justice (I will upload some more after I have written this) as it is much, much bigger than it looks.
The site is easy to find, very laid back, spacious, quiet and really kid friendly.
We pitched 5 tents and had loads and loads of space. Even when the camp site filled up on Saturday there was still loads of space for the children to run around.
They hire fire pits and sell logs which meant that every night we had the fire blasting and had a ball sitting around the campfire drinking and chatting.
The loo's and showers are adequate. There are only two male and two female toilets and a shower for each sex which we all found fine. For those who complain of having to queue, how about varying the time that you have a shower! Your bound to queue if, like everyone else seems to do, you go between 8am & 9am.
There is a nice shop on site selling fruit, veg and local produce and even better there is a lovely little cafe that serves a range of food.
The big seller for us were the people that ran the site. They were all really friendly, really laid back and really helpful. No marked out pitches or fun squashing rules here.
All in all a lovely little site that you can bet your bottom dollar we will be returning to soon.

This is a really lovely site. Mr Hopley is always around, looking after the grounds and facilities. I agree with the other reviews the only downside was the toilot facilities, they were always spotless and clean but there were only 2! In all the time we stayed I can honestly say they were never busy though. The Farm/deli shop was also very pleasing with lots of fresh and home made goodies. I would definitely recommend and will definitely be returning.

Back into camping after a bit of a break and found this first site to be pretty good. It has a pretty large sweeping area for tents that is a little on a slope but not badly so. We pitched right at the bottom by the trees and found ourselves a good distance from others and as such encountered very little noise - you choose where you want to go which is always a bonus in my view.
The facilities were a little small but were fine for us (family of five) as they weren't that busy when we went and pretty clean. If the site was busier that might well be a potential problem.
The play area was again smallish but occupied the children well so that says enough I guess.
The owners were friendly and helpful, and it's in a nice position just outside of Bewdley but close enough to the main road for easy access.
All in all not bad at all and if I was to go back to the area I would happily go there again rather than feel the need to try somewhere else.

We stayed at Hopleys on the May bank holiday. The site was clean and tidy with an onsite farm shop and cafe. The camping area for tents was very large. If you wanted hookup it was on a gentle slope and pitched close together. Without hookup there is plenty of space.
There are only two toilets for each sex and a disabled toilet. There is only one shower for each which was free and hot! Overall an enjoyable stay but wouldn't visit again on a bank holiday. After everyone had gone home on the Monday it was very peaceful and enjoyable. Lots to do in surrounding area.

We spent one night here in our tent. We had a choice of EHU pitches in the lower field which was sloping.
Very friendly owner who could be seen working hard to keep the washing up area and toilet facilities clean.
Nice farm shop onsite selling lovely produce and a small cafe which we did not use but apparently sells breakfasts.
The toilet and shower facilities are a little disappointing. They were modern and clean but there is only 1 shower for men and 1 for women. There were queues in the morning and the site was only half full. The ladies shower was luke warm except when turned to number 10 (the last on the dial). The problem being that when the dial is turned to number 10 there is very little water pressure. I was ages in the shower trying to rinse shampoo suds from my hair. My husband reported no such problem in the mens shower, saying he had a good hot one! We also noticed that there were no washing sinks for anyone not wishing to take a shower. There were 2 tiny hand basins in the ladies toilets (2 loos) but they offered no privacy and were in a very cramped space so not suitable for a body / strip wash imo.
There were 2 washing up sinks which were clean.

This is a great site fantastic deli shop and cafe, Mr Hopley was really friendly. Toilets really clean, showers were really clean and impressive for a basic site.
It is near to Bewdley and WM Safari Park. We hired a fire basket to keep us warm, it cost £20.00 deposit and £3.50 for logs. All in all a good break.
The only negative thing I could say about this site is it needs more toilets.

Stayed here over a busy bank holiday.
Positives: very cheap rates, kids loved the freedom and played non stop down by rope swing and bmx track. Friendly feel to the place, close to bewdley and attractions
Downsides: pitches sloped, one shower per sex, only two toilets per sex and after weekend they had a warm and moist air feel to them, at least didn't need heating in them
Overall just slightly more of these facilities would make it a very good site

We stayed at hopleys as a weekend holiday with 2 other tents. A fantastic site, the farm shop was delicious and so was the cafe. There was 2 washing up sinks and the toilets and shower were always spotless. The kids seemed to enjoy the playground, and you could hire fire buckets, but we didn't at the time. However, we were pitched on a slope, and the other tents were also pitched within a close range of ours, but this may have been something to do with us having an electrical hookup.
The only other fault with it, was there didn't seem to be enough toilets to accommodate the site, and as we stayed over bank holiday, there was 1 shower and 2 toilets for the ladies and 1 shower 2 toilets for the men. On 2 occasions the water turned freezing cold, both times whilst my hair was full of shampoo, but that's luck for you,
Overall a good site, will definitely be returning.

A Really nice and friendly site with a Deli / farm shop and cafe onsite. Small play area for the kids, which wasn't needed but look very inviting for the kids.
Mr Hopley was very friendly and talked about what he was intending to do next with the site, like teepees to hire, sounds exciting.
Not many toilets or showers for the amount of people staying but never seemed really busy. Very reasonably priced. We will be going back.
