We have visited this site twice this month and have had a fab time!
First visit there was 13 of us, the main guy, Pete was great and Tyler one of the staff is really helpful.
It was a family fun day so was really busy, but the showers and toilets didn't get absolutely filthy like some people claim and to be honest if people used the bins and facilities correctly, they wouldn't get into a state! It did run out of loo roll however we had our own and mentioned it the bar and it was replaced.
The bar was open late, however they don't hide this and if you want a more peaceful time, then pitch up at the far end of the site.
They are very family orientated, kids are are allowed in pub etc.
Meals are fab! Home cooked meals/bar meals. Fresh, hot and even in a busy period we didn't wait long. The pub is old and could do with a lick of paint it has character everyone is friendly. There are a few locals in there but mainly campers that come here regularly( do good for knowledge of area).
They have a basic playground that is dated however I hardly saw my kids unless called over to eat! So can't be that bad, Also a very small wooded area that the kids go 'exploring' in.
They do have an issue with the showers tripping constantly. Annoying, however the fuse box is in male toilets, check all are on on the far right (8, 9 and another one, I think)
A great time had by all! And no silly rules!
Breakfast is great value too! But order the night before.
Severn valley railway is excellent, great to see the trains go past! And Bridgnorth is s beautiful town, you also have Highley not far up the road with a co op, cost cutter, butchers, chip shop, Chinese and Indian.
Pub itself is an old school village pub. The journey there is down some very thin winding and hilly lanes. At some point you seem to travel back to the 1980 then arrive at this site. The fields flat which is nice. But the amount of rubbish, unkept pitches, old caravans on what seem like perm pitches need cleaning/fixing. £10 deposit for fob to get onto site.
Toilets did exist although it appeared the pub toilets where cleaner. The stink in and around them was awful. Couldn't hold breath long enough to check out showers.
The view is reasonable but there is a water treatment plant opposite and the railway is very close but hidden by various buildings so don't expect to much chance to see the steam trains.
Overall I really cannot recommend this site at all.
This site is such a pretty location, we arrived late afternoon, but spoilt by it being very scruffy, litter and cigarettes ends, ( I am a smoker but was disappointed with the cigarette ends every where I look on the pitch), we filled our water butt at the tap but were unable to drink our coffee and tea as it had a strange taste (bleach like) also all the hedges and grass need cutting, we had went to the site because of the beautiful area and thought we might stay more than one night but left the following morning! Didn't use the on site pub as my husband had a look and said it was as the site was, very scruffy, we used our own shower and toilet, so I can't comment on the shower & toilet facilities.
Been here for a last minute weekend with my wife and child. My boy is obsessed with trains at the moment so was a none brainer to pick a site near to the steam railway.
The site itself is really a pub site with a toilet block. Cant fault the location. Toilet block is ok, not as clean as perhaps could be but perfectly usable.
We didn't use the pub for food or drinks but it certainly does seem popular, albeit it seems most are locals. The music did go on late on the Saturday evening but that didn't bother us, infact if we didn't have our child with us I would have enjoyed popping up to see what I was missing!
The pith itself is very level but not marked out so we had to guess roughly where we should be.
There is a children's play area which is enclosed and kept our son entertained for hours. It is located a safe distance from the river also which was assuring.
Two point/tips =
I would add which may help others is it is a very narrow steep long track to this site with very few passing points - those with large touring caravans may want to bear this in mind.
Also in highley (1. 4 miles away) there is a very good cooperative supermarket with everything you could need and a very reasonably priced butchers for those bbq essentials!
Other than that fantastic and we will def return later in the year.
Went their last weekend our first visit. Had a lovely time. Food at Unicorn Inn was brilliant so much so that we could have ordered one plate between the two of us! We had Sunday roast before we left and oh my god the plates were huge and all for £6. 25.
The tent surroundings were great as our tent is quite large and their was a fishing competition on. Dogs were kept on leads including ours.
The toilets blocks for both men and women were clean and tidy and enough loo rolls for a small army. We took a visit on the Severn valley railway all day Saturday which was great. Yes their was music quite late as the pub shuts when the last person rolls out but that did not bother us at all. We are in our 40's and their was a 21st party on the Friday night and again this did not bother us. We went on the ferry to the other side of the Severn and visited the rail pub after walking the dog. Yes it was nice but we both agreed we preferred the Unicorn pub.
Overall nice clean tidy site lovely surroundings we were made to feel really welcome met some lovely friends and will definitely re visit.
Disappointing. This site has so much potential that has not been released.
The location is fantastic. You drop down a narrow road into the Severn valley and suddenly come upon the Unicorn Inn and the site nestled on the banks of the River Severn. The site is level and seemingly stone free (I didn't hit a single stone when pegging out the tent), well appointed with electric hookups and taps.
The site is passed by the Severn Valley Railway and so during the day you get these steaming past which proved to be quite pleasant. The train time table is such that you aren't woken by early morning trains or disturbed by them passing after dark. The station is a short walk from the site allowing you to explore the length of the line with ease.
There are plenty of footpaths in the area on both sides of the river. At the weekends a foot ferry runs across the river from here to a pleasant pub on the other side and yet more footpaths. When the ferry is not running there is still some (less official) access across the river.
We frequented the Unicorn Inn itself on a few occasions. We had breakfast here twice and found the breakfasts to be cheap but plentiful and thoroughly enjoyable. Evening meals proved to be average pub grub and while we enjoyed them they were nothing particularly special. The pub itself is primarily a club house for those with permanent pitches on the site and although we were always treated politely we did feel a bit of an inconvenience.
We arrived at about 21:30 by which time it was dark and once I'd paid we were told that our pitch was 'at the bottom of the site'. That was the limit of the description that we received and from then we were left to find our way around the site. Either being shown the pitch or a map of the site would have been most helpful to help us find our pitch, the toilet block etc.
Our biggest criticism of the site has to be the toilet block. If you go in the around 9am then things aren't too bad as they've been given a quick wipe over and some toilet cleaner poured down the loos. However, this is a veneer that quickly disappears leaving something akin to a public toilet block. By the afternoon it smelt badly and quickly running out of toilet paper, etc. On Sunday I had been paddling on the river so went for a shower. Only one of the three toilets was usable (one was blocked and the other caked in faeces) and there was no paper. The shower was hot but the shower cubicles were dirty, the ceiling mill-dewed and fungus growing between some of the tiles. Needless to say I didn't feel particularly clean after the shower.
To return to my original comment this is a site worth watching because once a few improvements are made it would be a fantastic little site. Until then however we don't expect to be returning.
Just came off a weekend break at the unicorn in hampton load. 4 adults and 8 of our children had a fantastic time. There's a park on site for our children which they loved. Very friendly staff
Clean toilets / hot showers. Good nice conservatory which we always ate in. Food fantastic. Even gave us an extra pitch which we loved as more space. Old fashioned train station just off the site, which was fantastic and a boat which will take you across the river. Really enjoyed it and will be going again very soon. Any rubbish was cleaned up by staff on a Monday.
Overall a great experience. Cheap break and entertaining for the kids.
We went here on a fishing and camping trip. When we arrived there is the small inn which you go into pay. The staff where very helpful. You have to pay a £10 deposit on the key to open the gate.
They showed us our pitch to set-up camp however, people had parked their cars and set-up bivies there. We asked them to move and they did. Once we set up our trailer we set off fishing. It is very steep and when it rains the bank is really slippery.
We saw a few people come close to falling in.
People claimed the fishing was bad but we had a good few fish out.
Overall this is a good camp site although, I must mention that the facilities are satisfactory. Also there is a farmer who owns a peg next to the camp site and it is private but, you wouldn't know unless, he actually came over and tells you.
The site has a nice playground for the kids. It also, has a couple of hook-ups and a few hard standing pitches. With a little clean up of the toilets/showers this could be a very good site.
Just came back from a weekend away at this site. Upon arrival we waited 30 minutes to be attended to at the bar to book in and find out where our pitch was. As the weather was glorious the pub was really busy so I would have thought they would have taken on extra staff to cope with the expected influx of drinkers/campers as this fine weather was predicted.
Once set up on site I started to notice quite a few issues:
1. The doors of the electric hook up fuse boxes were all either hanging off or on the floor, leaving the innerds exposed to the children playing with water pistols, etc.
2. The taps were attached to the same post as the electric hook up points!
3. The toilets and showers were MINGING! It was a busy weekend due to the predicted hot weather but even so there is no excuse. I have never had to have a shower with my shoes on in all my years of camping - and we have been on some rough sites. There was never any toilet roll either so be sure to take your own. People also left used sanitary towels on the floor. There are no sanitary bins in the loos, just one kitchen-type bin WITHOUT a lid.
4. There were far too many tents pitched in close proximity to each other. I can understand that people camping together want to be close to each other but with all the camp fires & barbecues that were lit it could have easily set fire to one nylon tent and quickly spread to the next and the next to burn down the whole of the one side of the site nearest to the river. Also, there would have been no room for a fire engine to get through due to the thoughtless pitching of the campers and parking of cars. No-one came on to the site to ensure safety was observed and it was very much a free for all.
5. Also the site was quite noisy with lots of young people partying until the early hours and talking in loud voices, no doubt in alcohol fuelled high spirits. Some people were awake quite early and again talking in very loud voices so it was impossible to get much sleep.
6. No-one bothered to give us a leaflet or tell us: where our pitch was, where the bins were, or where to empty the waste water or the toilet!
7. The only washing up sink is in the same room as the toilets! Don't think I will be washing up my pots in there, thank you.
Summing up this could be a wonderful site as it is in such a stunning location. I suspect they are raking in the money without trying to improve the facilities, so why bother? Because the site is in such a state it attracts customers that do not care or bother to have any consideration for their fellow campers, with one incident of a couple having a shouting match (including the worst of any swear words) in front of their young children that were, in the end, pleading and crying with the so-called adults to stop.
I will not be going back there until they have got their act together. I expect usable, safe facilities for my £20 per night.
We've just come back from a stay here, and too be honest there's more negative comments, than positive
So the positive
1) The ladies toilets are now in a much better cleaner state, although toilet roll is not restocked daily, and when you're paying £19 a night, for very basic facilities, the least you should expect is toilet roll to last each day,
2) The site itself is really pretty and well maintained.
3)The fishing pegs are well kept, if you fish on site, there are 15 fishing pegs, in the campsite, and at the time of going its £5 for a day ticket, and you can fish really late, you don't have to stop at dusk, normally people fished to midnight, or left their rods in all night. Its with Kinver angling, ask for Calimari (Ray) he stays on site, a brilliant helpful, friendly guy, he'll issue you wih the day tickets, and give you great advice, of whats working at the time.
Now the negatives
1) Most of the pitches are NOT marked with the numbers, and the bar staff when you check in you will be told to pitch in one place. People next to us were told to put their tent up at pitch 3 at the park, so they looked on the post, it said 3, so they started to set up, and Dave came and told them to move. Luckily they'd just started setting up. I mentioned it would be less stressful, for everyone, if the pitches were numbered, but was told its too much trouble !
2) Make sure you're quiet after midnight, we got a visit threatening to throw us offsite. Although we were very quiet, and you can understand most people that go are there for fishing and want to be up before 6am, but he didn't tell the people that are on site all the time to be quiet outside the pub. The noise was awful going on till after 2. 30am. Talking and laughing is fine, but on the 2nd night, the people had the kids there till after 2. 30am and the kids were running round, screaming and kicking things and not once were they told to be quiet
3) there are lots of signs around saying dogs MUST be on leads at all times, and if you didn't comply with that rule you were threatened with eviction. We got told to put our dog on her lead and she was sat outside our tent, with us, under my husbands chair
4) The mens toilet was blocked for the 2 days we were there, the urinal was ok so my husband said. The shower was freezing, but he was told by another camper that you need to hit a button, in a box to access the hot water, no mention of this from staff
4) to access the electric hookup on some pitches you need to put your hand inside a broken box to lift the switch, there is no key available to open the box, this was for pitches 5/6/7/8 at the playpark, a bit dangerous !
5) at breakfast only one man was working, and when someone complained about the time everything was taking, she was snapped at, and told he's on his own, and nothing he can do about it, no word of an apology
We had a 6 man frame tent, and although there were only 2 of us plus our dog, we were charged £14 for the tent, £1 each adult, £1 for the car, kept at the tent and £2 for electric hookup
Showers are free, although cold unless you know how to access the hot water, but remember to take toilet roll with you
