We choose this site as it was close to relatives that we wished to visit. 2 sisters and 3 children between us. My first impression was not very welcoming, as my uncle had driven down with me to help put the tent up was, lady in reception wasn't very pleasant.
I was a bit put off about paying for an extra car as if we had taken two small tents, instead of 1 to accommodate us all we'd have used two pitches paid the same price as it's per person and not the extra car.
We pitched near the top end of the site, very windy to put tent up needed to peg it first, relatively flat. Showers very clean, though closed for two hours at lunch time. Site very clean, good recycling facilities. It was quite a small site so nice and quiet, the only noise was from Nescliffe army camp, first night at 11pm thought it was fireworks, but when they are going off at 6am you realize, this disruption is going to be permanent.
We already knew the area as we have relatives in Oswestry, but went to Chester Zoo one day and from childhood memories Ellsmere was always nice but it poured down the day we planned to go there.
The only down side was nowhere for the children to play, not even a patch of grass, fortunately after the first night there were two pitches free in front of us to play on.
When on this site make sure no rubbish is left out there are quite a few Voles about.
We arrived at the site without a booking and were immediately pleased by the fact the staff were not frightened of our American RV. The motorhome is 34 feet long and has been refused at too many sites in the past, even though clearly we could have pitched. Anyway, we were offered a choice of pitches and after we made our minds up, the staff showed us the hook up connection, water points and so on. The site is very GREEN in that there is recycling for glass, cardboard and tins but also the local community group collects used newspapers.
We extended our stay and made use of the motorhome facility whereby we can fill with fresh water, and get rid of waste. The faciity at this campsite is easy to access even for a bus like ours.
We did not make use of the showers and toilets etc as we prefer to use the RV, but the building was very clean and tidy.
From the site, there is a direct bus to Shrewsbury or Oswestry town centres. We went as far as Ironbridge by changing buses at Shrewsbury - no point having our granny passes if we don't use them.
Newspapers are delivered to the site everyday. We also liked how well this site is supporting the local area by selling local products such as bacon, icecreams, jams and allsorts really.
There are lots of local walks and bike rides near to the site. We ate out several times at a pub in the next village. The pubs are within walking distance of about two miles, but we caught the bus back from The Three Pigeaons as it was easier and free with the bus pass, and we did have a few too many with our lunch.
The site is really quiet and peaceful and is ideal for those like us who like walking with the dog, cycling or just being busy doing not a lot.
This site is very pretty, very quiet and perfect for people with dogs. There is a little path just off the site for dog walking.
The toilets were new and spotlessly clean and there was a great sized family room for taking the kids to the shower with you. The shower was the best I have ever had - not just on a campsite! There is a hairdryer in the ladies for 20p per time.
The site was nearly full and was 90% caravans and camper vans.
We found it a little quiet for us but this is the first site we have visited which hasn't been mainly for tents. We like to watch other campers playing with their children and this site seemed to mostly be retired couples - our neighbours went to bed at 8pm!
There is a shop on site which doesn't have alot but does stock the basics.
You can leave a deposit and use their frozen ice packs for 45p per pack (first time I have ever been charged for this).
There was a fast food van on Friday evening which I think is a weekly event and was handy for us as we got their about 6ish - the fish & chips were very nice.
We would not visit this site again because as I said it was a little too quiet for us but for anyone wanting a nice quiet spotlessly clean site which is dog friendly I would recommend it highly.
Just come back from two nights here. The site was busy but didn't feel overly so.
The wardens Gail and Alan were very friendly and Alan even takes you to your pitch and gives assistance if required to reverse in.
The shop as said before is well stocked and bright and cheerful. You can buy almost anything from there.
The toilet and showers were spotless.
There isn't really a pub in walking distance but if you turn left out of the site, there is a lovely pub in the village of Knockin called the Bradford Arms where the food is excelent and resonably priced.
All in all, we had an excelent short stay and would definitely return.
Just got back from this wonderful site. We stayed for a very wet bank holiday weekend but the site itself is fantastic, really helpful staff, spotlessly clean facilities, well spaced pitch, easy to get to, and it even has recycling facilities! We were also told they are introducing composting! Now why don't all campsites do that?
The site is placed in between Shrewsbury and Oswestry just off the A5, you can hear slight road noise but it didn't bother us,
We also found an excellent country park just 2 miles from the site, Nescliffe country park which is great for children and dogs as there are well marked out walks that lead to a cave through woodlands,
Had a great meal out at the old 3 pigeons pub in Nescliffe, from the outside we thought the pub itself looked a bit rundown, however once inside WOW, I have to say its one of the best meals out I have ever had, we went on a busy bank holiday sunday, there were 4 adults and 4 children and the restaurant was fully booked but they managed to get us a table in the bar, excellent service. The food was fresh and came really quite quickly and the whole meal including a round of drinks came to £63. You could probably walk there but there is no path from the site which would mean you have to walk down the road so not ideal for us to do it with the children and dogs,
There is a Sainsbury in Oswestry and Shrewbury has an Asda both about 10 miles from the site.
We will definitely be returning, once again well done Camping and Caravanning club,
Reception/booking in area also doubles as 'the local shop'. The shop was well stocked with all the things we seem to have forgotten to take with us now and again. I snapped one of my shoe laces and was amazed to buy some new ones on site! It was nice to be able to order a morning paper. Tons on useful stuff in the shop such as details of walks, local atractions, bus times, direction to local eating places and so on. Staff know the local area very well. I was really chuffed to see local produce on sale too. We bought some rapeseed oil - we just wished we had bought more.
We had booked a hard standing and even though our motorhome is 30 feet long, it fitted nicely on the pitch, with some hardstanding spare for our deck chairs and BBQ. Also had grassy area on both sides. We were taken to the pitch which I found a good idea.
The site is just off the A5 road and is well screened by trees. We caught a bus to Shrewsbury. The bus stop is very close to the campsite. The bus also goes to Oswestry. We walked to a nearby village called Knockin where there is a shop called the Knockin Shop.
Toilets and showers were spotlessly clean even though the site was busy. We did not use the dishwashing place as we use our own sink.
The motorhome service point is easy to get on and off even with a larger motorhome.
There is a fenced dog walking area in the campsite and also a walk from outside the site through the woods.
The staff were really helpful to us in finding local things etc. They also had to assist an overseas visitor who had a big problem with his caravan even though it was late at night.
We have booked again but are staying longer as the journey for us is over three hours. The peace and quiet on the camping site is ideal after a bad week at work.
We also like the idea of being able to recycle a lot of our rubbish with places for papers, glass and that sort of thing.
Site is in good condition and very well maintained.
Toilet block; Very clean and warm.
Pitches> Hardstandings not very big, only just enough room for a caravan with a small awning.
The ground was a nightmare, rockpegs and storm straps very difficult to secure.
Reception> Good information, poorly stocked.
Location> A stones throw from the A5, road noise disturbing, not good for light sleepers.
Dishwashing facilies- good and clean.
Laundry - 1 Washing machine and 1 dryer available for the whole site and there was a long queue to use them as there was no quick wash facility.
Nescliffe training camp nearby and night shooting going on until 11.30 pm which made it a nightmare getting the kids to sleep.
No facilities for kids or room to play.
Dogs; Although this site accept dogs,the dog walk is a path 4 foot wide by about 300 yards long, it is fenced off but very small.There is a bridle path next to the main road that is about half a mile long but you are still unable to let the dogs off because of the closeness to the main road.Not suitable for young or energetic dogs.
Chip van- this arrives at Friday tea time, the food was acceptable but expensive.
Location - Transportation required as the site it is not within walking distance to access shops, pubs and eating houses
A good site for older people with no kids or dogs.
Excellent reception on arrival, helpful team of staff whom guided us into our pitch.
Full awning used fitted snugly onto hardstanding pitch
Superb site excellant sanitation facilities. Washing up spot kids thought great as good as at home mum!
Friday night visiting food van for fish chips etc if you wanted we didnt bother this time, but perhaps would if we had arrived a little later and not preplanned a meal.
Went to pistal rhyaeder waterfall on saturday, and up the stiperstones for a snowy walk on easter sunday, watched a wonderfull site of red kite birds of prey on the uplifits. Club site office well stocked with essentials.The site is a little far away from shops if you hadnt come prepared, but nothing that couldnt be rectified by a quick trip out.
Despite very windy weather and rain and snow on occasions we had the most wonderful and memorable weekend. We would gladly return in the future.
What a lovely site. It was only opened in August last year and is obviously brand new and yet is steeped in character.
The layout is fabulous with level pitches both grass and hard standing. The site has all the usual facilities, toilets, showers, washing up facilities etc but also has a laundrette and shop on site. The only thing it could do with is a play park for the children.
The shop is a good thing as the nearest shop is a good drive away. Oswestry is very close and a lovely town. Shrewsbury is 10 miles away and a fabulous day out. There are various attractions all local for all different walks of life.
There is a chip van that visits the site on a saturday night but one chap returned his food for a full refund. Ours wasn't that bad but wasn't brilliant and expensive for what it was.
The staff and other campers were very friendly. We will most definitely be using this site again and would highly recommend it.
As always the not so good stuff first Let me think for a bit .
Cant think of anything !
This is a newish site and is in first class condition.
Pitches> are large and clean mostly hardstanding. There are all the usual hook ups. There are some grass pitches as well. They are general quite big although some are uphill and you may need to use levelling blocks.
Facilities> these are spotlessly clean. The mens are large and plenty of room and the water pressure is good although still the old push button but the timing on the push button is good. The disable facilities are good although a handle on the side of the shower would be a benefit
Reception> Excellent facilities
Information> Plenty of information
Location> 30seconds of the main A5 access into and out is good for all size units.
Wardens> are friendly and welcoming.
All in all this is a good site that once the flowers and flower beds break through will be a very pretty place. It is C&C site and certainly nice. We are planning a return.
