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. 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. Choose between grass pitches or all weather hardstanding for campervans, tents, trailer tents, roof tents, and motorhomes (up to 7m, no twin axles). For those seeking extra privacy, there's a sheltered field just for tents and a very secluded tent pitch, The Hide-Away. In winter, hardstanding all weather pitches are available if the field is difficult for vehicles. Solar generated green power hook ups are available throughout the site, together with free WiFi. With a focus on tranquillity, camper numbers are low to ensure peace and relaxation with generously 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. Hired fire pits/BBQ and pizza ovens for use at your pitch. Please note, privately owned fire-pits/BBQs brought onto site may not be used at the pitch but can be used in the central fire-safe area. 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. Shrewsbury Canoe Hire is based here 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.
