 We could not wait to come home yesterday morning to have a shower. We have never been any where with such a run down toilet block. We even brought home our washing up because this facilities was inside the toilet block. You need to take your loo roll with you because you would be lucky to find any in the toilets.
The best thing is the steam train station is only a 5 minute walk from the site. We tried the food once in the pub and we did not try it again
This is the first time we have ever come home and not liked the campsite

We stayed at the site as part of a canoeing trip, one afternoon and evening and the following morning prior to setting off again.
The showers were very grim indeed, dirty, and no real hooks to hang clothes on. The evening shower was a mixture of either freezing cold water or so boiling hot you would need asbestos skin to stand under it. The next morning was just freezing cold water, but the old bloke in the next cubicle helped by telling me to 'lather myself up first and then run under it quick to wash off'. Bracing is the only word for the experience.
The toilets were filthy with no toilet paper, but that didn't seem a problem for the 'gent' who used his own underwear in lieu of any paper, and then kindly left them in the cubicle for everyone else to find. Nice.
The Pub itself was good, staff friendly and helpful. Food was adequate, nothing to shout about but reasonably priced and the ales were bang on.
The actual site could be lovely, right next to the banks of the River Severn with the Severn Valley Steam Railway passing close by, the fishing looks very good and the site is well used by anglers. It's just a shame about the rubbish left in the bushes along it.
Would I come back - only on a similar trip; and then I'll be bringing the Solar shower.

The location is wonderful right on the banks of the River Severn and the Severn Valley Railway passing alongside.
When we arrived the owner pointed through the pub window to our pitch. There was dog excrement on our pitch, not very nice to have to clear away before we could pitch.
I don't mind basic but the toilet, shower, washing up block was dirty. Toilets weren't cleaned while we were there, no toilet paper and nothing to dry hands on. At £19 per night I think they are charging 5star prices for 1 star pitches. I did notice that some work was being done on the toilet block but it could have been cleaned, dirt and grime been there for years.

This site would have to go down as average. However if you avoid bank holidays it is very quiet, almost peaceful along the banks of the River Severn and lovely scenery.
The on site pub was good and food was well priced and huge portions, the staff were friendly.
The toilets over the bank holiday weekend were disgusting, but once the weekend campers had gone they were cleaned and stayed like that for the rest of our stay of 5 nights but they were very basic and in need of modernising.
The kids play area was ok and lots of kids on there seemed to enjoy themselves.
The surrounding areas of Bridgnorth, Bewdley and the little town Much Wenlock are well worth a visit.
For me I wouldn't use this site again, but if you avoid a bank holiday weekend it might be worth a short stay

Good Points:
Railway was 100 yards away and steam trains came along every 45 minutes which is great if you have kids.
Pub food was good and reasonably priced, as were the drinks in the bar.
The pitches for the tents were flat and there were plenty of water/electricity points.
Bad points:
The toilet block was disgusting, the smell was horrible and there were no hand drying facilities or toilet paper in any of the cubicles. The whole block needs renovating and everything replacing, I wasn't brave enough to try the showers out!
There were not enough bins to cater for everyone and bags were just being left on the floor nearby.
There was a lot of noise coming from some of the tents nearby until 0430 hours which woke our two year old up several times.
There were a lot of young groups there who didn't seem to show anyone else any respect and were quite happy making a noise all nights.
On paper this site looks quite good but in reality we personally thought this site was way below the standards we expect.

Visited this site on bank holiday weekend. First time we have been here and loved it. Great staff and the food is to die for, large portions and at a good price. If you want a good time best place to be, its lively and every one is very friendly, we loved it already booked the next one cant wait. Toilets need updating but apart from that very good site. Steak and ale pie is out this world. The staff cant do enough for you very helpful, book in advance if you want a hook up because they go fast. The kids loved it and did not want to leave.

Stayed there for the 60's weekend on the Severn Valley Railway. Some of our party camped and the others stayed in the B&B accommodation on site.
The location is great with the railway one side and river the other side of field. Field is flat and toilet facilities are adequate. We opted for electric hook-up which is great for £2 a night. The B&B accommodation was great and was worth the £45 twin room a night for the superb breakfast alone - 10/10.
The bar has a friendly atmosphere and the beer is great - Dave the Manager could not do enough for us. We even ate there in the evening and with meals around £6 you can't go wrong. The manager even takes a walk around the campsite at around 11-12 in the evening to make sure that nobody is making too much noise.
We took a trip across the passenger ferry to the other side of river (between 11:00 and 18:00) and this all added to the great location. Can't wait to go back !

What can I say this site needs some rules the loud music until late at night was out of order. There are not enough toilet facilities for the amount of campers the pub squeezes onto the site what happened to the 5mtr rule?
The toilet block that is there is poor no supplies i.E toilet roll - Take your own girls!
The showers when they actually work are very basic and need dragging into 2011.
As other campers have said the pub food is fab and really good value for money although you do have to wait over and hour if there are a few of you.
There are some lovely walks and the playground is safe for children.
We made the best of the Royal Wedding Bank Holiday as the weather was so nice, but will not return.

Went to the Unicorn Inn for the bankholiday weekend, we went as a group of 11 people - 8 adults and 3 children. Arrived Thursday afternoon where it took over 20mins to check in and pay as the staff kept walking away and talking to others.
We were directed to the bottom corner of the campsite near to the playground which initially appeared ideal.
The site is in a lovely location on the edge of the river bank with Hampton Loade SVR train station only minutes walk away and a ferry over to the other side of the river.
Unfortunately Friday morning the campsite became very overcrowded very quickly. Parties were pitched way too close and cars were blocked in. Complete fire hazard. It seemed accepted to play music extremely loud until 3 - 4am regardless of small children.
The toilet block was very basic but if there was respectful visitors then would be ok for a one or two night stay - very outdated. However due to amount of people and lack of any thought for others the toilets and showers appalling condition. Never any toilet roll or soap even when informed.
The playground was very good and our 10 yr old girl spent some time on there.
Can't comment on the pub food as we never used the pub at all!
We left a day early, when we approached the manager he was quite clearly uninterested in our experience and was not bothered by our distress. He offered us a small refund as a gesture and a 50% discount on our next visit, when informed that our experience was so unpleasant we will never be coming back he very quickly withdrew this offer and we didn't even get the money back for the night we didn't stay.
All in all this site is in a lovely location and could be very pleasant, however the lack of staff interest and the acceptance of unruly behaviour made this site very intimidating and unwelcoming.

Not going to mention toilet block except to say if a new one gets built all the better outdated now but ok for a few units on site if basic in showers as no where to put ones clothes. Please all campers if you have kids look after them not nice letting rubbish go down river banks pick it up or the site owners will ban you ;oh and please no noise after 11pm that does mean 11 and not 4am!
Ok apart from some mindless idiots, the field is very good mostly flat and one of the best I have stayed on with the sound and sights of trains great location! Now the pub is excellent the best food and value you will find and thanks too all the staff who made my stay wonderful. The breakfast is under £5 and the ploughmans is to die for under £5!
Enjoy this site it really is good!
