About the site

Abbey Green Farm is a small family friendly site overlooking pretty lawns and farmland, just a 20 minute drive from the Mere at Ellesmere. Set in the picturesque countryside, it's a perfect hideaway for relaxed touring and camping and an ideal base for walking and cycling in Shropshire. A seasonal glamping pod is available too. Chosen by The Sunday Times as one of the top 20 places to camp in the UK! This family run campsite is nestled in a quiet and secluded location in picturesque countryside, within a five minute drive of local amenities - and an ideal 'get away from it all' break. There are 12 flat and spacious grass pitches, three of which are non electric and nine of which include 10 amp electric hook ups. 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. For those who would prefer something a bit more luxe, The Orchard Hideaway camping pod is the perfect option, measuring 4m x 3m and sleeping up to two. It features a double deep sprung mattress with luxury bedding, a fridge, and tea and coffee making facilities. All bedding is provided, but please remember to bring your own towels. Well-behaved dogs are welcome but due to our resident show sheep, we are unable to accommodate dogs in The Orchard Hideaway glamping pod. As a peaceful countryside setting all dogs must be kept on a short lead at all times and must not approach livestock fencing. For a little treat whilst you are away, the site offers freshly made cream tea, luxury ice cream, waffles and stone baked pizzas (24 hours' notice required for pizzas) Campfires are not permitted.

Abbey Green Farm is open from 01/01 to 20/09 and 28/09 to 20/12. Pitches from £24/night for 2 people.

Camping Pod - Orchard Hideaway Camping PodJul 2026

I booked in on spec for two nights and was really pleased with the pod and the campsite. It is a very clean, well run and friendly site and the pod was really comfortable. The owners were really generous and I can really recommend the breakfasts. The area around is stunning.

Lovely little getaway

Fantastic little camping site. Toilet block is superb. Probably the best we've seen. Owners are very welcoming. Pre ordered pizza was delicious, should have ordered two. Overall great weekend. Would highly recommend.

Large Tent - Extra Large Electric Grass Tent PitchesJul 2025

Although the location was off the beaten track. It was a gem of a campsite. The layout of the pitches was in a square which I thought lent a sense of community. The shower and toilet facilities were very luxurious as promised. In addition the homemade cream tea, pizzas, and icecream were superb. We loved it!
