 Just returned from a week at this site and we were very impressed. As already stated in other reviews, the owners, Alan and Pat were great hosts, very hospitable and full of local knowledge.
The toilet/shower block was immaculate at all times and despite its relatively small size, we never had to wait for showers at any point during our stay.
The site was fantastic value for money, at £98 for a week, (2 adults and 1 child), pitch was huge and included EHU.
The playing field was huge and included a few swings/see-saws etc, goal posts for those wanting a kick-about.
The nearest local shop was at a Shell garage about a mile away, not the best value for money (typical petrol station prices) but with a bit of planning, its easy enough to avoid. Co-op within 5 minute drive, along with takeaways and a park and ride service into Shrewbury Town centre. We used this service and found it good value for money at £1. 60 each (return).
The town centre itself has plenty to offer, with a good selection of independent retailers and a great market hall.
Would highly recommend the Indian Restaurant next to the Shell Garage. Its called the Saffron Cottage, not the cheapest curry I have eaten but certainly up there with the best!
We travelled to Telford to a children's park called Wonderland, I would avoid this place at all costs. 20 years ago it was probably 'ok' but looks like it has not been touched ever since, everything was dirty and tired looking, cost us £20 to get in and we were done within the hour. Very disappointing.
Would highly recommend Park Hall Farm, nr Oswestry and also Harry Tuffins Sunday market at Churchstoak.
Local pubs worth a visit are the Grapes and the Oxon Priory, both on the same road about 10 mins drive from the site, and both child friendly.
Overall, an excellent place to stay, and a site I feel, is setting standards

Just back from our second visit of the year with one more planned.
Surely that says it all :)
Great site, very clean and always tidy. Showers and toilets always available and spotless.
Two excellent washing up points with bowls and lights.
We marked out pitches with water and elec never far away.
Excellent information hut with a daily info and weather board outside. Disposable bbq stands in shed and freezer and washing machine also available.
Site is well signposted from the A5 and is in a very peaceful location. Both Pat and Alan are very friendly and helpful. Always available when needed but never in your face. Always happy to stop for a chat and found out where you have been and give recommendations.
As a family we love it here.

Absolute bargain of a campsite with excellent facilities! Individually marked out pitches with native hedging plants, with plenty of space. Compact site so never far from the facilities.
Free freezer for freezer packs, free push button showers and vanity cubicles - never saw more than a couple of people in there at any one time. Lovely quiet site, but with play field for the kids and plenty to do in the local area. No shop, but then it's only 5 minutes from Shrewsbury.
Paid just £13 a night for 2 adults and 2 children in peak season, and didn't have to pay until we left. Thoroughly recommend and will go back.

Ive been camping or caravaning for 20 years and this was one of the best or best campsite we have stayed at.
The site is kept in immaculate condition. The pitches were spacious and well kept. The toilets and showers were kept clean at all times. An excellent large playing field at the site for kids to play in and for people to walk there dogs around.
Washing machine facility cost only £2. There are plenty of leaflets in the information area they've got which Alan keeps updated with the weather update as well. But if you want to know where to go or any other information on the area ask Alan.
He is better than any tourist information centre I know. He knows the area really well and can tell all the best places to go whether they are free or you need to pay.
To sum up this campsite Pat and Alan are very pleasant owners who go that extra bit further but not over the top to make your stay a great stay.
They also when you leave go out of there way to see you before you go. If I visit this area again I shall not be looking for any other campsite to stay.

One of the best sites I have been on, hidden away just of the A5, when we arrived we had a warm welcome from Alan and Pat, showed us where to pitch our tent, and left us to it.
We was put on the pitch by the hedge next to the road, the site was full. The noise from the road wasn't all that bad. The site was nice and clean, all pitches have electric, water points are never to far away, the shower block was immaculate, lots of information in the shed, other campers will know about this, there is a large field next to the site for children to play, and you can walk your dog around to.
Make sure you bring plenty of food and drink, nearest Co op is about 3 mile away.
Customer service from Alan and Pat is 110%, I would recommend this site to anyone. Please telephone to check if pitches are available, they are well known.

Just come back from a great weekend at a wonderful site, We arrived on Friday afternoon with our Folding Camper we were shown our pitch,
The owners were so friendly nothing too much trouble a real personal touch.
Site is small and quite, well kept, Toilets and showers were excellent very very clean and tidy.
There is a separate field for playing football and other ball games and a small playground.
There is a co op not too far away which is next to the Oxon Park and ride which is excellent way to get into Shrewsbury Town.
We had a great weekend and came home and booked for the next weekend

What a little find! Went for a quick weekend away with friends after they found it on the internet and I was recommended it by two work colleagues. The site is only small, quietly situated in the heart of Shropshire some 5 miles from Shrewsbury. The owners are always at hand but NEVER overly so but really know their stuff. From when we were helped to reverse into our pitch to offering suggestions of days out for the family you knew you were in good hands and could not ask for more! They had little things that made the stay good like an information 'hut' which apart from all the brochures you could ever need, it had a display board with the weather forecast for the day and a list of things to do and see. A nice touch!
A small play field with swings and football nets was ideal for the smaller kids, but not a great deal for older ones, but, I don't really think this is what they cater for! Saying that, our friends 13 year old played footie with his dad and my 17 year old son so it can't be too bad. They say you make your own fun!??!
The toilet block is not very old and had enough showers/toilets/sinks for the size of site. I never had to wait and the site was almost full. Some may say basic, but, with an added touch of fresh flowers I could not complain especially as the hot water was free and of an ideal temperature. Something sadly in this day an age we don't get at all the sites we visit.
As it's only an hour from where we live we have marked this as a favourite and will be a regular for sure.

Well, what can I say except echo what most of the other reviews say!
Lovely quiet site with exceptionally clean facilities.It rained hard all day the Sunday we were there and there was not one muddy footprint in the shower/toilet block!
Excellent location for Shrewsbury Town Centre.
My Husband and I had booked this site as we were going to a concert at Greenhaus Stadium and I was concerned about returning to the site late on in the evening but Alan assured me this was fine--most sites I have been to don't allow movement after a certain time.
Alan and Pat very friendly and helpful.
Would definitely return to this site.

Top class site with excellent, clean facilities. Nothing too much trouble for Alan and Pat, always helpful and very friendly. A very well managed site respecting the needs of all kinds of campers.
Toilet and shower facilities exceptionally clean and the whole site was maintained to a high order. They both work hard to ensure people enjoy their stay at the site and we would have no hesitation in recommending this site.
A real gem and well worth a visit. Exceptional value for money.

I can't praise this site enough. This was our second visit, albeit for a stopover night. The site is kept supremely
Clean and tidy and the toilet block is one of the most pleasant we have experienced. The dog walk area is massive and, as with the rest of the site, is really well maintained.
The new 'adults only' area is settling in nicely and is testament to all of the hard work that Pat and Alan have put in over the winter.
We'll be back soon for the longer visit that this site really deserves.

We`ve just spent a lovely weekend on this site and nothing can be faulted, from start to end everything was top notch
Signs guiding you to the site are well placed. Alan the site owner was very helpful and explained to you about where everything was.
The pitch was ace, large enough for caravan, car, and awning, it seemed like your own little garden plot.
Water 'drinking' and 'waste' was in easy reach and toilets and showers where top rate.Garage easy ride down the road with large shop.
Would like to thank Pat and Alan for making the weekend so enjoyable. Can`t wait to call again.

What a lovely site! We are a family of 2 adults and 2 children and dog and all thoroughly enjoyed our 3 nights here.
The showers and toilets are spotlessly clean no matter what time of day/night you use them, infact probably the cleanest campsite we have ever visited!
The owners are always around, very welcoming and friendly.
Really nice spacious pitches sectioned off by small bushes which give a little privacy.
Kids enjoyed the very secure field in which there was a few swings and see saws and mini football area as well as a lovely large field where also was a dog walk along the outskirts.
Will certainly visit again.

First time but definitely won,t be our last. Lovely flat and large pitches, each pitch is bordered with small trees (will soon grow).
Large field with play area (swings, seesaw) and dog walk around outside. Facilities superb and clean.
Pat and Alan are always around, keeping everything clean. Grass is well kept and wouldn't be out of place in my garden. Water and waste close by , in fact everything is.

This is our 4th visit to the site and we have been well looked after as usual by Pat and Alan. The facilities are excellent as always and although the ground has been a little damp the site looks beautiful with its Autumn colours.
It is the first time we have been pitched along the road side, and while others have commented, yes you can hear some cars and tractors from time to time, but it’s hardly the M25! I would be happy to be pitched along the roadside again if necessary.
Just beyond the toilet block it looks like 10 to 15 more pitches are being added to the caravan site. (Guess the popularity of this wonderful friendly site has caused demand to increase beyond availability).

We arrived, to a warm welcome, after a period of prolonged heavy rain, although the weather was good throughout our stay.
We were located on a generous hard standing near to the main road.
The grass 'roadways' to the hard standing had become quite muddy and were tending to cut up which required regular changes of footwear when accessing facilities on foot. I understand plans are in place to improve the roadways in question.
Probably because of the season and our close proximity to the road, there was significant road noise, tractors, and cars using the lane as a rat run, which was enough to disturb a light sleeper between about dawn to 8.30 am.
Overall a well run site, good facilities and good value for money.
