The non electric pitches are suitable for small tents only and a maximum of two people, whilst the electric grass pitches allow tents, caravans and campervans and up to four people are permitted.

Nice and quiet but would have been nice to have been met by owners on arrival

Tucked away in the countryside a very quiet campsite. We arrived at 3pm as instructed by the site. Found our pitch and the toilets/showers/water point etc and then walked around the grounds looking for the proprietors. It would have been nice to have had someone to talk to on arrival, there was a chalk board that told us our pitch number but beyond that the place was deserted. I tried to call the mobile number but could only leave a message and got no reply. In the meantime a couple of other campers arrived and like us found their pitches and erected their tents and tried the contact numbers....we all agreed it was a bit strange. And because the site is quite remote, it was a good thing we had ordered pizzas, although we began to wonder where these were going to come from as there was no one around. Thankfully at about 6:15 someone did arrive with Pizzas in hand and apologised for delay. Apart from that, the facilities were clean and in a good state of repair and it was a pleasant stay.

Thank you for your review. Unfortunately on the day of your arrival we had an important appointment which could not be rescheduled, which meant that I could not greet you upon your arrival, nor could I accept your phone call. As you stated, your pitch number was displayed on our board along with the other arrivals that day. We have used this same system numerous times over the years with no previous issues or complaints. You were greeted when your pizzas were delivered, and were offered an apology for not being there to meet you upon your arrival, which you accepted. We have an excellent local pub a 5 minute drive away which serves food, and Wem is a 10 minute drive away, so we cannot be classed as remote. You are able to research an area before you book by searching online. Our toilet and shower facilities are excellent, and are cleaned regularly, and would rival offerings from most hotels.
Lovely campsite
