Date of Visit: May 2011 Unit:  Tent
Reviewer: Lms0110 57 reviews from this member

 Watch out if approaching from the B Road through Knockin as the site entrance is not signposted, only marked if you're coming from the A5 direction. Wardens very helpful & suggested the best pitch to give us protection from the wind which was very high on arrival, with the option to move the next day, but we were happy with original pitch. A dog run on site, not very long, but a longer run along the bridle path adjacent to the site is preferable. No Playarea so may not suitable for small children. Even though we were at the far end of the site we didn't find the walk of around 100m to the amenities block a pain, personally I don't like being too near the toilets & the accompanying footflow. Unless I can pick my shower temperature & not having to keep pressing a button the showers will never get a 10 from me, but they were very clean, 3 showers, 3 sink cubicles in the ladies, didn't have to queue once. Even though the site is great for touring as the A5 is nearby, nowhere really to walk to from the site, the B road to the pub in Knockin has no pathway or lighting. Note if your dog is susceptible but the whole place is one big rabbit warren!

 We have just spent 4 nights at this campsite. On arrival we were given a warm welcome by Peter. Pitch was nice, at the top of the site, backing on to the dog run.

There weren't very many people on site when we arrived and the site didn't really fill up until the Friday night.

We had our 16 year old daughter with us, she was the youngest person there, no kids on site. Wouldn't recommend for kids, no play area or anything like that.

Free wi-fi was really good, although we did struggle a little as we were a bit away from the reception, but all in all it was a nice touch.

The Toilets / Showers were very clean and tidy. With a hairdryer taking 20 pences.

Not much to walk to in the area, we had a walk to the Country Park (more like a wood), but be warned it is quite a long walk. We got the bus back.

The Fish & Chip Van on a Friday is recommended. Oswestry is a nice town with 2 Supermarkets. We also visited Ironbridge whilst there. 


Date of Visit: February 2011 Unit:  Touring Caravan
Reviewer: NLMS 11 reviews from this member

 We stayed here over February Half Term.

We tend to be a bit hesitant about C&CC sites, in particular the quality of the washblocks is 'variable'. However, this site is fine the washblocks are clean, fairly modern and heated. (Though if I'm being picky they could do with being a bit warmer.)

Excellent and friendly welcome, allowing us to choose a pitch; in our case with a view.

As others have pointed out it is a few miles to get to anywhere else much but providing you are happy to drive a bit there is more than enough to do. We have two children (11 & 14) and kept them active.

In short we would be happy to use the site again. 


Date of Visit: September 2010 Unit:  Tent
Reviewer: Debendaz 1 review from this member

 This is a great site! We were very impressed from the moment we arrived we were given such a friendly, helpful welcome. The site is in absolute pristine condition, with ample space between pitches.

The shower and toilet blocks are spotlessly clean; there is plenty of room for washing up and there is a laundry site available too. The information board contains some useful local info.

When we arrived on Friday evening there was a food van on site which was very welcome after our travels and there is a small shop on site where you can order newspapers and get any essential supplies. The campsite prevents vehicles in and out between 11 pm and 7 am which means that you can really enjoy the tranquillity of the site.

There are two dedicated dog walking 'runs' both easily accessible. The site is located just off the A5 and is about a 10 minute drive from Oswestry, it's also about 30 miles from Llangollen - this makes it a pretty country campsite within easy reach of local amenities if required. All in all a site that must be visited for a great break! 


Date of Visit: August 2010 Unit:  Trailer Tent
Reviewer: Rivadan 8 reviews from this member

 This is a pretty little campsite, very nicely kept by the wardens, with good clean facilities. It is perhaps more suited to couples without children as there is no play area and nowhere really that young lads could have a good kick about. Some of the pitches are a good hike to the toilets/washing up sinks, but that seems to be a feature of CCC sites.

The only thing that spoiled this site for us, under canvas was the road noise. We live in a very quiet area and are not used to sleeping with the sound of traffic so it kept us awake! I'm sure it wouldn't bother you if you are used to it, or are in a caravan or motorhome with better soundproofing.

Date of Visit: June 2010 Unit:  Tent
Reviewer: Topcat+Dibble 23 reviews from this member

 Stayed here for the 2nd 4 nights of a 12 night motorcycle tour.

Easy to find just off A5. The site is a rectangle shape with the entrance, shop and toilet / shower block at one end. Camping on a standard pitch we chose the most picturesque which naturally was at the far end of the site! however the pain of the yomp to the toilets was cancelled out by the view of the woods behind and the fields in front.

Cleanliness of facilities as you would expect from C&CC site. Wash basins in separate cubicles but too poorly lit and too far from mirror on back wall to be good for shaving (wife moaned about the same for putting make-up on). Only one washing machine/drier which was busy during the day - we did ours at 10pm one evening.

Recommended places to visit - Shrewsbury which is easy by bus, the stop is on A5 near site, Much Wenlock and the Wenlock edge, riding the Shropshire hills and Ludlow. Only disappointment was Welshpool where we stopped for lunch one day - Clearly had seen better days.

Only real fault of this site is that it is in the middle of nowhere. The nearest pub is 2 miles away which we thought we would walk to one evening but we soon gave up when we realised we would be coming back along an unlit busy road with no pavements. There is no bus service to / from Oswestry / Shrewsbury after about 7pm so spent every evening on site. On our visit not a problem as we had excellent weather so just brought supplies back with us.

In conclusion, The site was as picturesque as Hereford where we had stopped before but due to its isolation just fell short in our opinion. However it suited our tour of the Welsh boarders and in fine weather has much to recommend it.

As an aside, after dark watch out for the bunnies. The place teems with them!

Reviewer: Neil and lena 51 reviews from this member

 An Ok site and the facilities are as good as you get for a C&CC site although the shower temperatures are pre-set which might not be to everyone's liking. The site wardens are helpful and friendly and there is a good on site shop in the reception and also wi-fi coverage although the signal is weak at the top end of the site.

Would I use the site again ? Yes for overnight but not any longer as there is not much to see or do in the immediate area unless your prepared to drive 10+ miles to either Oswestry, Shrewsbury or Welshpool

Reviewer: Norbill6 1 review from this member

 Site staff very helpful and welcoming. Was offered a choice of several pitches from next to the toilets, to one with an excellent view over fields of rape with lovely trees and a field full of bobbing rabbits. We opted for the view and although we thoroughly appreciated the scenery, we found the long trip to the facilities became a little tedious after a while. But then that was our choice!

The toilets, showers were excellent. Plus cubicles to wash in and constant hot water. Also excellent modern washing up facilities. Site traffic well organised with one way system.

Visited Llangollen + aqueduct, Lake Verynwy, Whittingham Castle and an excellent discovery, Colemere, near Ellesmere but less crowded. There is still much to see in the area, so we will be returning at some time.

Site provided lots of visitor information on a board and in the washing up area, including walks from the site itself.

Reviewer: Mark1975 8 reviews from this member

 Excellent site with usual top drawer club standards. Highly recommend a day at RAF Cosford- brilliant day and free admission although £3 to park.

TV reception hit and miss on standard caravan top aerial. No issues on satellite. V. Friendly and helpful staff. Very clean and well organised. Just missing a play area! Although very close to the A5 no issues with noise whatsoever.

Reviewer: KarenandPaul 1 review from this member

 Lovely site, really easy to get to, toilets very clean, showers hot and free, all you would expect from a caravan and camping site, we had horrendous rain but the site was well drained.

Quiet and relaxing just what we wanted.

Easy access to a number of tourist activities, went to the waterfalls spectacular view with lovely tea room.

Close to Sainsbury's Oswestry for groceries
