Why choose Spring Field Dark Skies Eco Camp

About the site

Nestled in the Shropshire Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB), this eco-friendly off-grid campsite offers a peaceful retreat away from the noise and pace of urban life. Powered entirely by a large photovoltaic solar system, it's a haven for nature lovers, families, bird-watchers, and stargazers alike. The campsite is hidden behind woodland, away from the noise of roads, in a secluded Dark Skies Area. For your safety and security, a time-lock gate operates 8pm-8am. Campers are given the out of hours pass code for free access after arrival. In most cases, the site is also able to extend your stay after checking in! Open-plan fields have views over the Shropshire Hills and the distant Shropshire Plain. You can spot wildlife right from your pitch, from wild deer in the early mornings/evenings, to buzzards, kestrels, red kites and owls. We may offer alternative hardstanding pitches in winter if the field is difficult for vehicles. Choose between grass pitches or all weather hardstanding for campervans, tents, trailer tents, roof tents and motorhomes (up to 7m, no twin axles). There's a sheltered field just for tents, perfect for those seeking extra privacy. There is also a very secluded tent pitch, 'The Hide Away' for those wanting privacy. Solar generated green power hookup is available throughout the site, together with free WiFi. With a focus on tranquillity, camper numbers are low to ensure peace and relaxation with generous sized pitches. Tent campers can conveniently unload at their pitch in dry weather or nearby, with vehicles then parked off the field to preserve the serene atmosphere and make the site safer for children. There's a communal fire-pit/BBQ, pizza oven and a fridge-freezer to keep things cool, all free to use. Seasoned logs are available from reception. Private fire pits/BBQ and pizza ovens to hire. There is a shelter pod with phone charging point and reading lights, great for those in small tents when the weather is less favourable. You can also hire a canoe from James, the Camp Host, to explore the River Severn and Attingham Park River Tern! The entire site can be reserved exclusively for private functions, parties, events and filming. The site is dog free.

All pitches are available from March to 20th October. During winter, the site has a few spaces with views for small campervans and small tents on the hardstanding area.

Medium Tent - Grass Family Tent 3-7m Large Pitch(Optional Electric)Aug 2025

On arrival, we were directed to our tent site. Malcom was very friendly and accommodating and we were put next to another family with similar aged children, which was a great added bonus. Ground slightly sloped but wasn't an issue once we set up the tent. The site is very remote, which is fab for the dark skies part. We saw shooting stars & loads of stars. It is about 20 mins to get anyone on 1 lane country roads but we didn't find this much of an issue. We had a lovely curry in Much Wenlock and we went to the local National Trust Attingham Park. There are 2 female, 2 male toilet blocks, which were always stocked with toilet paper and looked clean whenever I visited. There is 1 male, 1 female shower, I usually had to wait a couple of mins for it to be free but no too much of an issue. Several drinking taps around the site. We did not use any of the communal fire pit or hire as due to the weather, open fires were banned which was fine, however can't comment on the pizza oven you can hire. Due to this they had a Thai van on site, unfortunately would not recommend at all. Save your money and cook your own or go out to eat. Overall, a great experience and we would definitely go back.

Site's response

Thank you for your review. This was a very busy Bank Holiday weekend and we were lucky to have several families with children on site. The good weather, alas, brought a campfire ban as we are surrounded by tinder dry farmland. Even our famous Wrekin was on fire last week. The Thai Food van was here to help a new business enterprise and also to give campers a choice as to whether to cook or have something a little different. It was up to individual choices and budgets or pure camping experiences.

Fantastic and clean site

Small Tent - Grass Bivy/Backpacker Tent Pitch (Optional Electric) Aug 2025

Friendly welcome, great info sheet, instructions were clear. Amazing WiFi, central fire pit available with seating on picnic benches. Place to charge electrical and a fridge/freezer available. Fresh eggs available in site as well as to the chickens that provide them. Single track road in most places enroute to the site, if you have a caravan, it might not be great if you are not an experienced driver. We were fine in a small Transporter type van. Very picturesque journey to site. Really amazing dark skies area, with lots to do in the area. Clean facilities. Quiet site. Really enjoyed our stay and we will be back.

Thank you for taking the time to review our site. We don't take caravans here as we leave them to the larger sites and keep our site small and spacious.
