 We stayed here for 4 nights in July, found the campsite to be excellent. The pub outside the site is lovely, nice beer garden. The one up the hill is worth the trek, pass the post office and keep walking! Some more pubs in Bishops Castle, about 6 miles away. Drove into Shrewsbury and Oswestry during our stay and found both towns to be really pretty ( lovely old buildings).
Our little grandaughter loved the stream at the back of the site and the little goats. The facilities were really clean and the showers hot. We will definitely visit here again next year.

Peaceful and pleasant site with good pitch on EHC near to toilet block. Ground had dried out quite well considering the amount of rain the previous week. Children enjoyed playing in stream but we feel the play area needs some improvement. Useful shop which sold basics and good pub with reasonably priced bar meals.
We liked the 20p showers as this stopped children from spending too long in there which we have experienced at other sites.

Organised a cycling holiday for 12 families here and the location was ideal for this.
Chose this site as looked very hard at others and this one isn't obsessed with rules. Therefore the children could cycle to the showers etc without fear of being told of. In my opinion this sort of relaxed attitude is worth a lot.
Half of us camped in the rally field and half on the main site. To be honest the rally site got very wet and I'd avoid the pitch next to the bridge as all the grass went and the family looked like hippos by the end of the week. It's also surrounded by tall trees and sunlight is a premium.
The 6 families on the main site though faired really well and these were very nice.
Toilet facilities were always clean. 20p a shower was disliked by half, but then again it makes you think about staying all day there which in times of greenhouse gases isn't such a bad thing.
The owner was very friendly and helpful
We managed 5 very good 30 mile rides into the local area and the children aged from 8-18, so get out there everyone.
Yes it's not perfect, but it's well priced and in a good location and I'd do another holiday here

A pleasant, secluded and quiet campsite. Ideal for exploring south Shropshire. Not much for children to do - but they seem to make the best of things anyway. We enjoyed our stay but there was nothing that would particularly make us want to go there again - especially when there are so many other sites to visit. One point to note is that some mobile phones are unable to get a network connection in the area.

August was a wet month and we reckon most of it fell on this site. We were warned that the site was a bit damp and muddy by phone 24 hours before we set off, but we were not prepared for what we encountered. Were were shown to our pitch in the rally field (there was to be a group of us), we drove past waterlogged pitches until the road ran out and then we 'slid' into the field to our pitch.Trying to find a good standing for the tent was difficult as the ground was so soft and waterlogged, and as the field filled for the weekend so did the tyre tracks with water-even the caravans were towed on by tractor!Eventually the entrance became a no go area. We were a very long way from the only loo/shower block, which we found to be basic but did the job well when you eventually got there. The on site shop provided the basics and was well stocked including those forgotten camping bits. Dont expect views at this site as it is set in a river valley,and we only had the benefit of the sun until mid afternoon, but other pitches were luckier. With the kids running free range thru pitches, some of which were quite close together, accidents naturally happened. Get in the car and explore the surrounding countryside and local market towns and be prepared to be blown away, the Shropshire hills and especially Ludlow were a great favourite with us. We had the unfortunate pleasure in meeting the locals in the Inn on the Green, just next to the site, after experiencing the unhelpful bar staff, our party tried to eat their bar meals whilst the darts team did there level best to make it most uncomfortable for us with their looks and gestures. We soon left and made it up the hill to the pub in Wentnor-thoroughly recommended, try it and see. So to sum up, some of the previous reviewers state the site is well drained, we beg to differ,and take a portapotti just in case you end up on the extremes of the site

We visited this site during the first bank holiday weekend in May with 3 other families in tents. What a great site! The kids spent all weekend playing in the river! The facilities are very good and are kept clean and the site owners are very nice and helpful. On the Sunday evening we had the most horrendous thunderstorm and more rain than we've ever seen which turned parts of the site into a huge lake. At fist this seemed like a complete disaster but everybody helped out those who needed it whilst the kids stripped off down to boxer shorts and played in all the water! It was fab and we'll definitely go again.

The actual area in Shropshire was really lovely with many lovely towns to visit e.G. Ludlow,Iron Bridge, Bridgnorth etc and lots of beautiful scenic walking (breathtaking!). The toilet and shower blocks were always clean with plenty of hot water and the 20p charge for the showers didn't bother us at all as this tended to mean people had short showers which meant there were always showers free (unlike sites we'd been to before where you have to queue for ages whilst people stand in them for ages).The pub at the entrance(the Inn On The Green) was lovely with friendly staff and good food,also just a short walk up the hill brings you to the equally lovely Crown with fantastic homemade food(yum!) Unfortunately the weather was against us doing much cooking ourselves so we frequented these for meals on several nights.
The place would have been lovely if it wasn't for two things.Firstly, as the weather was incredibly temperamental during our 10 night stay the ground soon became waterlogged and with inadequate drainage the site soon became incredibly muddy and smelly. Secondly,as this was every bodies holidays you would think the lady in charge would be a little bit more tolerant of the campers and caravanners who have paid her their hard earned money to camp here.

The Green is a very friendly and relaxing site.It is also very clean and well kept,the facilities are very good and on site shop is well stocked. The owners and staff were extremely helpful when my clutch went on my mondeo,they went beyond the call of duty to get us on our way again. We shall return soon.We enjoyed our stay and would recommend you visit if you want a warm welcome and relaxing holiday go to the Green.

Stumbled across this site after getting lost, destination was North Wales but due to various factors time was pressing on and we were running late for the Campsite in N.Wales so wouldn't have made it.
For this reason we were only there for one night.
The Green Caravan Park appeared clean and inviting, as were the staff at reception who seemed happy to help us and provide us with a pitch for the night. The pitch was very cheap at £10 per night (including 2 people) and an extra £2.50 for each additional person.
The toilets, sinks and washing facilities were clean if a little dated but everything worked well and the water was hot for showering. Plenty of recycling facilities and a small shop on site for essential supplies.
Since we only stayed one night, I can't comment on the site's suitability for longer stays but can recommend it as a place to stay for a night or two, perhaps if walking or with bikes (due to the type of surroundings) or just passing through as an overnight stop in a longer journey/tour.

We've recently returned from a 2 week stay at the site. It is without doubt one of the best sites we have stayed at.
The toilet and washing facilities are well equipped and kept spotlessly clean. There are several areas on the site depending on your requirements, (hook-up area for caravan or tents, adult only area, a sheltered dingle for small groups, large area for groups or rallies and a small play area for the children.
The small shop is well stocked with a few essentials and has plenty of info about the local area. At the entrance to the site is an excellent pub 'The Inn on the Green' serving a good variety of local brews and some of the best steaks we have tasted (10% discount if you're staying at the site). There is also a small village post office and shop within 100yds of the site selling papers, beer, wines and groceries.
If you're into walking, the site sits between the Stiperstones and the Long Mynd (2 areas of outstanding natural beauty) both offer a variety of waymarked walks for all ages and abilities and the views are breath-taking.
Karen and her team make you feel very welcome and are always at hand to help. We will definitely be going back at every opportunity.

Have just returned from this site. I have been camping for years and this is one of the nicest. The river which runs along side makes it such a relaxing place. The toilets were always clean and the kids had a fantastic site. We were with three other families and we have all agreed to return before the summer is out.

Our first ever camping trip and I must say I was impressed. It's a lovely peaceful site, well it was until a large family unit camped right next to ours even though the field was pretty much empty!
Good clean facilities and as previously said plenty of re-cycling bins for cans, bottles, paper, etc. There's a small play area for kiddies and a shallow river for them to play in too. There's even a couple of friendly goats to feed!
Large field and plateau for non-electrics, with no marked out pitches and easily accommodated our 24 foot tent, although not sure how big the pitches are for EHU.
Small shop on site selling basics, a little more expensive than your local shop but still not extortionate. Post office nearby and a couple of pubs within walking distance serving hot food.
Overall, great for a weekend, but not much longer than that due to being in the middle of no-where really. Clean and friendly site will be returning soon.

Fantastic!
We stayed here at the weekend, me + OH and our tent. What can I say but just the most relaxing place ever. Pitched our Hartford XL in the most perfect spot, enjoyed the sunshine and just chilled out for the weekend.
The facilities were excellent and showers & toilets immaculate. Well done Green Caravan Park, well worth a tenner a night and weather permitting we'll back next weekend too.
Thanks to the owners for a great relaxing weekend.

A good clean and tidy site and Quiet in spite of the Paragliding Championship taking place, infact it was fun to see them flying over head. The 2 pubs nearby were very good with The Green at the enterance to the site being very friendly and with good food. We were a family group of 5 adults with 3 tents and had plenty of space. We will be back.

I have just returned from 2 weeks on this site and had a very enjoyable time, the site was very good and well maintained. The facilities were always clean and there was plenty of hot water even if the showers did cost 20p but I found this gave plenty of time for a shower.
The pub at the entrance to the site is very good and the food was excellent. All of the staff were very friendly and welcoming and managed to conspire with my parents on a surprise birthday dinner for me. All in all I can't wait to go back again, even if we did loose a tent in the gale force winds last weekend.
