Neighbours are far away and unlikely to bother you! Lovely country views are available from this base in the Shropshire Hills and it's only 30 mins drive to Shrewsbury or an hour to charming Ludlow. Pub within a five minute drive, too.
An 80-acre site with stunning countryside views of the Shropshire Hills
Almost wild camping with spacious and secluded pitches, over 50 metres apart
Welcoming owners with fire pits available - perfect for nights in the open!
About Vessons Camping
Here you'll find an almost wild camping experience in a rural spot, without tarmac roads leading to pitches, but instead with access by driving across the fields. Top views and a very secluded feel await. Grassed pitches without electric are provided for both tent campers and smaller VW style campervans. No fear of noisy neighbours - there'll be a minimum of approximately 50 metres between all pitches! There is a separate four-acre field for families with young children, which proves very popular. Ground campfires and fire pits are welcome, and you can also bring something delicious along to BBQ for dinner! Nothing is too much trouble for your hosts, who will fill your empty water bottles each morning and bring them to your pitch! You can park by your pitch, and the team's farm vehicles are on hand to help if you run into any trouble with the weather.
Vessons Camping is open from 19/05 to 29/09.
Regularly cleaned and serviced portable loos are placed around the site, thoughtfully placed so that campers don't have to walk far.
The Mytton Arms at Habberley is a 30 minute walk from site. Takeaways and restaurants also in the area.

Nigel is a very friendly and attentive host and we had everything we needed! The wood is reasonably priced and delivered to you, and water was just a short walk from our pitch, however there is a morning water delivery should you need it which is great. We had the pleasure of such stunning views thanks to Nigel's determination to get us up the hill when our campervan decided to play up! Not to forget the fun we had on the way back down! The stars at night are amazing! Our dog is very nervous around people and other dogs so this was a great place for us to take him as there is plenty of space between pitches. We took a lovely walk into the town, admiring the beautiful views, streams, cattle, sheep, wild birds and horses, a truly peaceful experience. We would highly recommend this place and will definitely be back to explore more of the land we didn't get to on our 2 night stay as there's sooo much of it!
Site's response
A review as good as this one gives me a warm feeling and makes all the effort we put into providing a unique camping experience with a strong connection to nature and privacy between pitches very well worth it. Other clients have said it's like having your own secluded garden in stunning countryside for your stay. It was a pleasure to meet this couple and we shared a few good laughs. They left having gained new experiences which clearly enhanced their stay with us. I look forward to seeing them again. Nigel

Things to do on site and in the Shrewsbury area
Vessons is located in the Shropshire Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, so the views are simply stunning and the land is connected to a labyrinth of public footpaths. It's a walkers' paradise!
Take an afternoon stroll to the famous Devils Chair at the Stiperstones, visit the Bog Visitor Centre whilst you are there and and learn about the massive lead mining operations that went on in the area up to the early 1900s.
The historic towns of Shrewsbury and Ludlow are within easy driving distance and the nearest pub is a mile or so. For the perfect Friday night, there's a selection of takeaways too.
Little ones love the sixteen acres of woodland! Being a back to nature site, it's about making your own fun - with wildlife watching, den building and more.
There are hares and rabbits playing in the fields, birds of prey in the sky and foxes and badgers. Shy wild deer can also be spotted at times.
Eastridge Woods is next door where you will find well signed routes for both novice and experienced bike riders which can be used free of charge .
