Date of Visit: August 2012 Unit:  Motorhome
Reviewer: Gazmister123 32 reviews from this member

 Had a recent night stop at this site.

We found Hopleys to be an excellent site, The price was very reasonable for the pitch with electric, we requested hardstandings next to some friends when we booked which they catered for.

The site has a farm shop which sells a lot of local produce at reasonable prices, there is a little cafe and fridays and saturday nights there is a traditional pizza oven van.

The views we're lovely. Staff friendly and the facilities we're clean even in the older toilet block behind the cafe.

There are porta loos in the lower fields for tent campers to use if they get caught short in the night too.

There is a small play area but it kept my brood amused so no complaints there too.

We had a walk into bewdley which took about 20 minutes, Bewdley is a lovely town and well worth a visit and the severn valley steam railway runs through it for train enthuiasts.

We also had a walk to the wyre forest country park where you can do many nature trails and easily spend a day here.

Stourport on severn is also a 10 minute drive away which has plenty to keep the kids amused and lovely walks along the river too.

Kidderminster is also close by the shopping and groceries as it has a tesco, sainsburys, morrisons etc.

There is plenty to do on a rainy day in the area, the nearby forest glades leosure centre in kidderminster has flumes and wave machines for the kids, there is an abundance of national trust properties within half an hour drive.

We definitely will return.

Reviewer: Mrs Mel 1 review from this member

 Very friendly welcome from the owners.

The grass pitches with electric hook-up are well-sized and level. The price is excellent (£17 a night) when other less well-equipped sites are charging £25 in high season.

We found the facilities to be clean and perfectly adequate.

This is very much a family campsite with plenty of free space for playing and a small swings area.

The pizza shack has a lovely atmosphere, the pizzas are great and they serve cold beers, cider and wine.

We had breakfast in the cafe and it was excellent.

One day we took the canoe hire trip with the Sun Valley canoeing co. You get in the canoes at Bridgnorth and there are different lengths of trips to suit all. The price includes a rail ticket for the Severn Valley Steam Railway to take you back to the start.

Also, great walks to be had in the Wyre Forest.

Reviewer: Nrjones 25 reviews from this member

 We were greeted with a friendly welcome. Our pitch was located at the top of the campsite on a rather scruffy tarmacked area. There was a little road noise as we were quite close to the main road.

The toilets aren't fantastic - don't expect a power shower and the number of cubicles is quite limited.

You do have to remember however that you are paying less than £20 per night and I would say this campsite offers good value for money and is a good base for visiting what is a an attractive and interesting area.

Bewdley is a great little town with loads of decent pubs and the fish and chips by the bridge are really tasty.

We also had a lovely walk in the nearby Wyre Forest and I had several fishing trips on the beautiful River Severn. We would definitely return here.

 If your looking for a family friendly, clean, well maintained campsite, this is definitely one to choose!

We are a family of 4 with 2 children 4 & 8years old - Our Caravan is a 27 foot Twin Axle Caravan.

Our last visit in June was our 5th time here in the last couple of years, we first visited when we changed from Tent to Tourer so thought this site would a good test run. What can I say we have since been to many sites 20+ around the country and this is still one of our favourites to visit, easy to get to even from the M5. It is set in the beautiful Worcestershire countryside.

Our experiences over the last couple of years dealing with various other sites is that Hopleys stands out in our top 3 sites, they do things very well and nothing is ever a problem, on our first few visits we were unsure of various caravan issues and Justin (the owner) was more than happy to help out.

All the facilities are well laid out & very clean, the reception shop has any spares you need (we hired one of the open cast iron log burners, the kids loved it! no where else we have been to will allow you to do this, they even supply the marshmallows for you!)

The farm shop is well stocked and sensibly priced and not the usual rip-off on site stores that we have seen at many places.

It has a nice little kids area with swings. Also a lovely wooded area for the kids to explore in.

There are 2 pubs within 5 - 10 minute walking distance, the Hop Pole & the Running Horse both very nice and great food!

Hopleys also do a Bonfire / Fireworks night which we stayed at last November, that was fantastic even for the younger ones, kids activities and great fireworks. 100% booking again for this year!

Also has the New addition of internet & Wi-Fi now which covers the whole site!

A highly recommended site I'm sure we'll be booking again very soon!

Reviewer: Cellar-dweller 4 reviews from this member

 This was our first site in a caravan, having been tent Campers for a number of years.

This site has a nice farm shop on site which stocked some lovely looking treats and the kids loved the ice cream. There is also a cafe on site, but can not comment on this as we didn't no use, but saw lots of people using it.

There is a small play area (swing and bridge type unit), the swing is a little tired, and it's quite basic. There are plenty of water points on the site and one of each waste point.

There are showers by reception which we used with the kids as easier to control them in a small space (others are in toilet block) the male and female shower rooms needs a really good clean, with large cob webs hanging from the sky lights, shower head holder broken in male unit, again this was grubby.

Caravan units on the field we were in we're very close to each other, in our opinion not worth the pitch fee, nice area but we would not use this site again.

Rubbish area were also really neglected, no real care or upkeep. Could be a lovely place with a bit more effort

Date of Visit: May 2012 Unit:  Touring Caravan
Reviewer: Katskorner 8 reviews from this member

 We have just returned from a three night bank holiday stay at Hopleys. I have to say we really enjoyed ourselves.

I booked last minute (the Tuesday and the arrived on the Friday) and was lucky enough to find a hardstanding pitch that had just been cancelled. So off we went, 2 adult, 3 kids (3/6/8) and our tourer.

We found the site easily and pitched up no problem. Reception staff were really friendly and made sure I had a local map so we could walk to the town via the best route.

We had a water tap right next to our pitch which was great and the hardstanding was necessary as the field was really muddy and I wouldn't have enjoyed the kids traipsing in and out if we had been on the field! The play area was really close so we could see what they were up to but could leave them be too.

There is a farm shop on site (we bought fresh veg and sausages and they were lovely). They stock lots of things including beers from local brewery's and local produce. Not your average camp shop! Very nice indeed and reasonably priced too.

There was also a cafe on site and although we didn't use it, I did go and have a look and the food looked nice and prices were good (£1. 99 for childs meal and approx £4/5 for adult meal).

We visited the town three times (twice on foot and once in the car). Walking is fine but it is steep coming back up - there are two ways to go and both have pubs along the way (The Hop Pole on the main road and the Black Dog {I think} on Wyre Hill - went in this one and they were very lovely people and there is a beer garden with mini pond with frogs which the boys thought to be amazing. So what more do you need? Decent ales too!.

When we did take the car due to the weather and the time we had we parked by the river and the parking was reasonable at £1.30 for two hours (I hate paying for parking too but this was ok).

There is a new toilet block on site and there are two showers (used them both and the far one is less good that the first one). There are also showers and loos plus a wash-up area behind the cafe - these showers look to be better but I didn't get the try them as they were full when I wanted to go in.

Overall we are very happy with our break and we will be going back again and again. 


Date of Visit: May 2012 Unit:  Trailer Tent
Reviewer: Wicked Pink 1 review from this member

 Visited on Bank Holiday weekend when the site reasonably quiet down to the (really) bad weather recently.

However we were located at the bottom of a very grassy, wet muddy hill which we struggled to get the car up (when not pulling the trailer) and a long trek away from the showers, waste bins and washing up area - fortunately we had limited facilities with us which we used rather than climb the hill.

Saying that there were portable toilets located near us which were kept clean and stocked. We also had drinking water right behind our tent which was an added bonus

The extension of the campsite was clearly evident although no work progressed during our stay. But I would hope that more facilities would be scattered around the whole site (even if it is just the waste/recycling)in the future if the work is intended to increase the capacity of the site.

My partner and others in our group used the cafe and shop and reported the food to be excellent value for money.

There was nothing seriously wrong with this site. Just niggles really, but not convinced we would return here. On the flip side, would strongly recommend visiting the area as there is lots to do and see.

Reviewer: Flashwood 1 review from this member

 Chose this site as our previous site phoned to say they were underwater! Phoned first to confirm availability and was told yes no problem.

Arrived and went to reception, paid then headed to the pitch. Nightly rate is great as its per pitch not per person. Dog friendly too.

This was our first outing with the new tent and we were keen to get it up and get out of the rain.

The site was litter free and clean. It looks like there has been a bit of development of the site as there is new terracing and fencing as you progress down the hill. I took the dog for a walk and the new terracing did feel a little soft under foot but this is probably due to the amount of rain we had recently. The fishing lake looked good.

I only used the new toilet block and they were superb. The wife however did say there was a funny smell in the ladies but not all the time though. The farm shop was full of fresh produce but had more of a deli feel and price than a farm shop.

There was a cafe on site but we didn't use it. Outdoor washing up facilities.

My only criticism would be that our pitch did flood and we did struggle getting the van off the grass. I do need to add that we have had a months worth of rain in the last 4 days!

Reviewer: Justredi 2 reviews from this member

 What a brilliant site, easy to book in and no interference from the owners while we were there. The food served on site was fresh, plentiful and cheap. A full English breakfast (large) for a fiver…

The site it self is well kept and within easy walking distance of the town. They supply a fire bowl and timber for your fire, small returnable deposit required. Although we found the fire logs a bit too fresh to burn so next time we will just use the kindling for the fire.

There are new shower toilet facilities all good and clean, if they get a bit full then use the older block.

The staff are very polite and friendly.

The fishing is great, make sure you buy your ticket for the day.

Shall be returning in about 4-6 weeks.

Reviewer: Mushycamper 5 reviews from this member

 Stayed here over Easter Bank Holiday, only booked the week before & as we didn't need EHU we were lucky enough to get in, we stayed for 2 nights & for 5 of us the cost £30 which is great.

We were allocated a space on the lower field which suited us as it was not too busy.

The two toilet/shower blocks were clean but newish building did have a strange smell. Portable loos were provided by lower field which was very much appreciated in middle of night!

There was a lovely play area with swings, climbing apparatus etc.

We did not get chance to visit cafe but it smelt lovely. The farm shop really was fantastic, lots of homegrown produce all fresh, we used the shop both days & the pickle we bought was great. We really enjoyed this trip even though it was quite cold & our 3 kids really loved the freedom that they had.

We will definitely be returning soon.

Date of Visit: February 2012 Unit:  Motorhome
Reviewer: Pepe63 19 reviews from this member

 Just returned form a couple of nights on this site. Quite a pleasant site, with good views over the countryside, especially from the upper lever. We were on one of the few hardstanding pitches, which were to be honest, a little crammed and somewhat 'scruffy'(. Consisting of black cinder, crushed-tarmac type stuff). Later on in the weekend, some vans did park over on the grass(overlooking the view)and that looked a better prospect. Having said that, due to the time of year, they did cut the ground up quite badly.

There is, what looks like, some major expansion/improvement works going on in the lower(tent only?)level, which will make the site huge when completed. I only hope that they have considered such things as water pressure(shower pressure was poor during our stay)and the actual logistics of 'booking in'. Because at present, on arrival, the signs point you down the side of the Farm Shop, down a narrowish driveway, past the toilet blocks etc. I can imagine this drive would get pretty hectic when several arrive at once. If there's room, my advice would be, to park up in the shop carpark and just walk down and find out where they'll be sending you first(. As we were originally directed to a pitch which still had someone on it!).

On the subject of walking. Yes, it may only a 20 odd minute walk into town but it is VERY steep. Something that should be kept in mind if you have trouble walking or are walking with little ones.

We would use the site again but, as we did this time, we would try and avoid the 'busier' periods.

Reviewer: Kittiekat 1 review from this member

 Stayed here for 3 nights and as our first touring experience, it was thoroughly enjoyed by all! We are a family of 2 adults and 2 young children and we had a great time.

The staff on site were very helpful - apparently he was covering for the owner so I can't comment on usual owner but the couple left in charge were brilliant. We told them it was our first time away in caravan and he gave us lots of tips and when we had a leak he was very helpful. The leak meant we couldn't use the shower until the pipe got fixed but that didn't spoil our holiday as the facilities were excellent and very clean.

On site small play area for children which is nice - only criticism would be the wood floor becomes very slippy underneath the equipment and our 4 yr old slipped and hurt herself, would imagine a bark floor would be much better.

Easy to walk down to a good pub - the Hop Pole served us a fab Sunday lunch and it wasn't far to the safari park we visited. Also a good shop on site which has lots of essentials.

Will certainly be returning for another stay and are looking forward to it already!

 We have just returned for the second time from hopleys. We think this is a really relaxing site where the owners are very friendly and lovely people. We and our children are always made feel welcome.

We hired a open fire this time around and had a brill time and the kids loved it !

The showers and toilets are very clean and of a good standard.

The cafe offers a wide range of menu, and the breakfast sandwiches are value for money and are lovely!

The shop on site is also handy for any essentials you might need.

We will def be returning again very soon.

Reviewer: Debhill 28 reviews from this member

 The site is large with hard standings on the upper level lower down is a terraced field with EHUs for tents and lower still a camping area for tents who do not want EHU.

For the tents it is a bit of a trek to the facilities. However there are a couple of portable loos in the camping field which were kept clean. There are new facilities.

There is a nice cafe and farm shop on the site.

The owner is very welcoming.

You can hire a firepit if you like campfires.

We will return for the Severn Valley Steam Gala next year.

Reviewer: GeighYannon 1 review from this member

 Visit camp site at least Half a Dozen times a year and would recommend.

Last visit was Thursday before August bank holiday weekend and as we had forgotten to book (recommend you book) no pitch avail with electric so we all returned home. Site manager (Justin) went out of his way to call us the following day to advise got a cancellation and pitch avail with electric so we went back same day for 3 night stay.

Weather not great but once you get the tent up, a pit fire going and the beers flowing the fun begins

Several Portaloos close by pitches and also two sets of male and female toilets. Site also has two sets of male and female shower facilities (new block) and a spacious family shower room with toilet in it. Showers can get a bit busy early in the morning so best to leave until mid to late morning.

Small park for the kids to play in or there is a small forest for the kids to explore in

Local Pub about 5 minutes walk and we were given a 10% discount of meals for the bank holiday weekend. Bewdley about a mile away if running low on food and drink

Site also does it's bit for the environment from recycling glass, cans, plastic, tins and broken camping equipment you don't want

Generous one night rate with electric hook up for the bank holiday weekend and will try and get one more stay in before end of year

All in all a very good campsite and friendly owner and campers who acknowledge everyone
