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. Pitches from £38/night for 2 people.

Trailer Tent - Fully Serviced Hardstanding Pitches with Grass AreaSep 2025

We choose this site online as we did not want to travel to far. This was our first adventure to the outdoor world of camping (trailer tent). The staff guided us to our plot, and gave us the correct information where to set it up and did we need that lol. The staff were all very friendly and helpful and nothing was too much bother to them. The site its self was well laid out, with plenty of room on each plot, very well maintained grounds. They had onsite toilet and shower block which were immaculate, could not fault them, and also outside sinks to do your dishes if needed. There was also laundry facilities. They had a pub and bar area which had plenty of seating and tables, coffee facilities. There was food trucks supplied for the 2 nights we were there, one was a fish and chips etc and the next night authentic Italian pizza. There was also a small shop onsite for its and bobs. We found that all of the other guests were very friendly too. There was also a dog park where you could let your doggies off the lead to have a play and they also supplied the doggie toilet bags. We had a fab time and would highly recommend this site. We look forward to seeing you again.

Our stay here was fantastic

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

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