 Have just bought a conway carmargue, and this was our 1st site. Absolutely excellent, well laid out, our pitch was next to the stream that the kids loved, good play area near to reception. showers and toilets very clean and plenty of. 20p gets you about 5mins hot water. shop is a basic portakabin but okay, people were very friendly at all times, had to borrow owners bolt cutters (forgot to take key for padlocks on stove). Excellent pub in wentnor village called Crown brilliant food and drink, don't go to the one at the entrance thought i'd walked into a reunion of the deliverance clan(lol)will be going again soon.

This is a lovely campsite. It was our favourite site from our hols this year. The pitches were very spacious and the ground was level. There is a nice stream running down the back of where we chose to pitch our tent.
It was 20p for the showers and if you need to use the washing machine it will cost you £2.50 for a token from the shop/ reception.
We would definitely go back to this site.

What a lovely site. We will definitely be going back. The facilities are very good and the loos and showers are exremely clean and plentiful. We were able to pitch where we wanted. The children loved the stream which they enjoyed getting wet in, don't forget the wellies.

Fantastic weekend with the weather and company - the campsite wasn't too bad either. It is a large site though the way it is laid out makes you feel it is just you and a couple of others. The toilets and showers were clean and are plentiful. A lovely place to camp with lots of beautiful countryside to explore.

We visited this site at the begining of the season and it was our first time out with a new 'van. The site is lovely and level and the grass is well cut but was wet and a bit muddy due to the weather the previous week. The shop was not exactly well stocked but had all the basics and the staff were freindly and helpful. The facilities were clean and certainly not lacking in quantity.
Only two problems we found with the site - firstly it is a long way to emty waste water......a VERY long way if you site the van where we did! The other problem is not to do with the site but important if having a pub close by is why you choose a site - we went in the pub at the top of the drive and it was more like a youth club plus the smoke was horrendous (I do not object to smokey pubs but this was BAD).
The site itself is very picturesque, very dog friendly with a good dog walk and plenty of dog bins.
We will certainly be going back to this site.

What a great place to take your family. We first visited this site May Bank Holiday and liked it so much we have just been again and have booked for a whole week in August. The site is well laid out and child friendly. Our children loved playing the the shallow stream that runs through the site. The toilet/shower block is spottlessly clean and well maintained. Even when the site is full there is no need to queue for the showers as there are plenty. This year the non electric pitches have been marked out to help people pitch sensibly and this works very well, the pitches are plenty big enough for a caravan or large tent. This is a very relaxing and well run site. There is a small shop that stocks essentials it is open from 9am to about 8pm and just across the road is a post office which has a slightly larger stock. There is also a pub just at the entrance to the site and another a short walk up the hill into the village. It is only a short drive to the lovely market town of Ludlow where you can visit the castle and the famous "one off" food shops. This site is great for people who enjoy a walk as it nestles between the Longmynd and Stiperstones. Looks like this will be one of our regular trips. Thanks to Karen the owner for making it a great place to go.

Just got back from visiting this site for the weekend. It is a really lovely site. The staff are very friendly and helpful. We arrived after the shop had closed but had already been told when we telephoned that we could just pitch up where we wanted and then pay in the morning. There was plenty of room and I can imagine that even on a busy weekend there would be plenty of space for each unit.
We pitched by the river which was a bit on the muddy side but it has been very wet the past week or so. It was so picturesque to look at the river whilst we ate our breakfast. It is a very dog friendly site, with plenty of space to walk the dogs and bins to dispose of doggy rubbish in.
The toilet and shower facilities were very clean and plenty of them. The only draw back being that they were all in one block in the centre of the site which could mean quite a walk. The only downside was the waste water and rubbish disposal, it would have been nice if there was waste water and rubbish disposal by the water taps rather that having the trek all the way to the central point, however this is a minor gripe and certainly wouldn't stop us going back again.
Overall a great site.

Well, having read all the reviews and looked at the web site we decided to go to this site for Easter. I'm beginning to wonder if we went to the same site as everybody else!
We were very disappointed - but then it all depends on what you want.
We had trouble finding the site from the main road as it isn't signposted from the way we came in.
I have never seen so much mud in my life - OK, the owners can't be held responsible for the rain, but they could have laid the roadway perhaps, which wouldn't detract from their claim to be "conservationists". They are obviously used to the mud because they bring the caravans in and out with a tractor! Somebody told us that they were supposed to be doing something about the drainage for this year but they obviously haven't.
The track to the dog walk was just boggy and pretty treacherous and the dog walk itself wasn't clearly marked which field it was in and the bin was at the beginning.
We thought the toilet / amenity block needed serious up-dating - and there was no sign on the outside. It was clean, which is the best that can be said for it. The block is in roughly the middle of the site and it's a huge site and a bit of a hike if you're up the far end, which we were.
The chemical disposal was under a manhole in the ground which you had to lift the cover off and we couldn't find a waste water point at all.
The shop did seem to be open at reasonable hours, though, although it carried very little stock.
The good points are the spacious pitches and the pub beside the entrance which allows dogs and serves good food.
There are beautiful views if you go up on the surrounding hills but on the site there is nothing but the caravan opposite you. There are better views from the camping fields.
How it ever got a David Bellamy award I will never know. They are not conserving anything - they are just letting it go.
As I say, it all depends on what you are looking for - we don't want "all mod cons" but we've been on other fairly basic sites and they've been a lot better than this. We certainly wouldn't go back.

This is a truly lovely site. It has received several David Bellemy Conservation Awards and you can see why. Set across several fields - some with hook-up and some without - the site is immaculate. A long list of birds and wildlife seen on the site was pinned up in the launderette.
The site was by no means over crowded - it was the middle of August and in some fields there were only one or two tents or caravans.
We pitched our tent in one of the hook-up fields right next to the "river" (actually little more than a stream) under the trees. There were a couple of sheep across the stream, and we heard all sorts of different birdsong - it was idyllic.
The toilet and shower facilities were spacious,clean and accessible to all - there were even fresh flowers in the Ladies' toilets! Staff on this site were extremely friendly and paid great attention to detail.
It was a very quiet family site - after about 9.30 the only sounds you can hear are quiet conversations, the babbling of the stream and the odd sheep.
I would recommend this site to anyone!

Bank holiday weekend.
Had a fab time. Mixed age group of 14 in 6 tents. We had a very friendly reception. Could pitch where we fancied in the designated field.
it had rained for about 10 days previously and we couldn't believe the ground was still so good for pitching the tent.
We saw lots of wildlife and enjoyed the rolling scenery.
I think someone mentioned that it's in the middle of nowhere which unnerved me a bit, but the landscape and villages were delightful.
if it's this good for a bank holiday then I can thoroughly recommend it as a place to try if you're going for relaxed and peaceful !

Very peaceful site and we were very, very impressed with the size of the pitch we had, room for 24ft caravan, awning and annexe and could park the car at the side of the van or in front and we still had room for the children to play. The shower/toilet block is old but was always clean and warm. The shop wasn't open much. Busy pub 5 mins from site,too packed for us so we didn't go, the site was fully booked for B/H but had no trouble with noise. The only downside was no public phone on site or in the pub and we couldn't get a reception on our mobiles, O2, we'd picked this site as we were visiting a relative in the area but we couldn't contact him!

Nice site in lovely area, in the middle of nowhere but pub right at the entrance. Stream running through site which was very nice.
No marked pitches and you are told to pitch where you want in a particular field. Therefore on Bank holiday it turned out to be chaos !!!! Came back one day day with nowhere to park the car and a tent 3 feet away from ours.
Anyway toilets and showers very good standard and smelt and looked clean, as the site was fully booked I expected it to be a mess but the owners really looked after them and they were cleaned daily.
No water pipe in the field we were in and quite a trek to the toilets too.
The surrounding area is beautiful and I would recommend a drive over the Long Mynd and a stop off to watch the gliders.
Would definitly return to the area but not too sure if I would return to this site especially on a Bank Holiday.
The lack of organisation spoiled what could be a very good site.

The site is okay but not especially beautiful - okay for families with children, though nothing special. We wished they had taken more care over our booking - they got the dates, and the type of pitch we'd requested wrong. Were also a bit slow to sort it out when we arrived. Would recommend ringing to confirm before you arrive.

Lovely site in fantastic location. Stayed on Bank holiday weekend and although it was busy it was still peaceful (except for a pair of buzzards circling overhead!). The stream which runs through and around the site was beautiful and children were enjoying it. It was wonderful to hear it at night, really relaxing. The site facilites are good. The toilet block had the toilets, showers and dishwashing room all seperate from each other. It was 20p for a shower which was fine as there was plenty time to get a decent hot shower. The little on site shop was good for the basics and sweets etc. On the Sunday it was open 9-1 then 3-6 which was ample. Plenty to see and do nearby. Ludlow was lovely especially the castle. We will most definately be returning and doning our walking boots to enjoy the beautiful Shropshire hills. But - don't tell everybody as they will all visit this stunning County!!!

A lovely spacious site with plenty of open space. Very good facilities - showers and toilets very good standard. We stayed in a tent for the weekend and enjoyed it very much. There is an on-site shop that stocks the basics (limited opening hours)and there is a post office and village stores about 5 min walk away. Family pub onsite - we didn't use but was always busy. We would definitely recommend it and will be visitng again.
