Why choose Cartref Caravan and Camping

About the site

Set just ten minutes from Shrewsbury's medieval market town centre, this is a peaceful, adult only site, ideal for exploring the countryside on your doorstep. You can pick up local produce from the onsite shop, with Bartef offering a coffee shop, bar and chilled space to unwind. Campers can choose from a range of fully serviced pitches, each with a metered 16 amp electric hook up, water and grey waste disposal. Tents, trailer and roof tents, campervans, caravans and motorhomes are all allowed. There are 5m x 9m grass pitches, which include a neighbouring hardstanding 3m x 8m, ideal for parking your car. Or, if you would rather have a larger hardstanding area, there are 9m x 6m pitches with a 9m x 2.5m strip of grass, great for setting up your table and chairs. Tourers also have the option of hardstanding pitches only. If you don't have your own unit, you can stay in the site's converted vintage caravan, fully furnished with an equipped kitchen so you can self-cater and a private bathroom next door. Dogs are welcome, with up to three canines allowed per pitch. There is even a dedicated exercise area for them to stretch their legs. In the evening, you can cook up a BBQ, just please ensure it is raised from the ground. Open fires are not permitted.

Cartref Caravan and Camping is open all year round in 2025 and 2026.

Single Axle Caravan - Fully Serviced Hardstanding Pitches with Grass AreaAug 2025

Our stay here was fantastic. Great location for Shrewsbury and surrounding areas. Everything was so clean every where was looked after e.g. grass cut hedge cut outstanding place. Lovely little bar are to sit in /out .. Nothing was to much trouble, any help we needed all we had to do was ask. Thank you for a lovely break.

A peaceful and well serviced campsite

Sprinter-Type Campervan - Fully Serviced Hardstanding Pitches with Grass AreaAug 2025

Set in quiet Shropshire, this site has lots going for it. The toilet block was very clean and modern, with ample facilities. Pitches are well spaced out and afford you decent privacy, although where we were was also the main thoroughfare to the toilet block and shop/bar, so there were frequently passers by. I imagine, for most, that this wouldn't be an issue but it did mean our 3 dogs never settled! On the subject of dogs; the flushable poo bags provided are a great idea and mean that no one has to contend with a smelly dog poo bin. The dog exercise area was adequate, although be aware that smaller dogs can get out the back and bigger dogs can jump the fence. This happened to us. Having said that, it's not the sites fault! The shop was well stocked and staff were incredibly helpful. We didn't sample the bar but many people seemed quite happy socialising in there so it must be good! If you're looking for a peaceful stay, I would recommend this site.

Fabulous stay

Single Axle Caravan - Fully Serviced Hardstanding Pitches with Grass AreaAug 2025

A wonderful site. Great facilities. Toilets, showers lovely and clean. On site shop and bar for an evening drink. Site staff lovely. Huge thumbs up to Mark. He was excellent. The pitch sizes are wonderful and very private. We stayed on pitch 13. A short drive into Shrewsbury from the site. Approx 10 minutes large coop at Bicton Heath on the way if you need to do a big shop. A small dog walking field and they also provide you with bags to use in their doggy toilet! Fully serviced pitch too which is a huge bonus. We will definitely be back. Thank you Cartref.
