  • Spacious pitches on a Shropshire farm a 15-minute drive from Oswestry
  • Shropshire Sculpture Park five minutes’ drive; Telford 40 minutes
  • Family- and dog-friendly site; pub and buses within a 20-minute walk
In rural Shropshire, 15 minutes’ drive from Oswestry, Red Oak Camping is a welcoming site on a family-run working cattle farm; the presence of resident animals at some sites often means that you can’t bring dogs, but happily that is not the case here, where your well-behaved four-legged companion will be a welcome guest (though bear in mind that there is an extra charge). There are assorted accommodation options here, and what unifies them all is the feeling of spaciousness and the utterly peaceful vibe – give or take the occasional lowing from the cows… Guests also benefit from such amenities as a toilet and shower block, an outdoor washing-up area and ice-pack freezing, as well as recycling points, chemical waste disposal and charging facilities for electric cars. Mind you, you might not need to recharge your car until the day you leave, since it only takes 20 minutes on foot to reach the village of West Felton, from where a bus service links to places such as Oswestry, Shrewsbury (25 minutes) and Telford (40 minutes). West Felton also has a pub serving food – that’s if you don’t fancy firing up the barbecue for dinner – and there’s another pub within a half-hour walk (or five minutes’ drive), on the Montgomery Canal, which runs through Shropshire and Powys and is a pretty spot for a post-lunch walk.

Marcio A. The reviewer booked through Pitchup.com

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked: Spacious campsite and great facilities (clean and brand new toilets/showers). Flat area next to a working farm. I believe this has opened this year, room to expand if the demand grows. Great host, giving us a leaflet with crucial info, wifi also available. Firepit available to hire, great for seating around in the evening.

Disliked: Nothing to dislike

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked: The owner is attentive and friendly. Liked the option of hiring a fire pit and plenty of wood supplied. Current toilet and shower facilities are fine and always clean and they are making improvements to create more. We didn't use but liked the option of kitchen, including microwave and oven.

Disliked: We didn't dislike anything but it may be too quiet for those with young families.

Electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked: Just got back from our weekend camping trip. Stayed with my partner and 14 month old daughter.

What a lovely site it is, so peaceful & quiet. The owners are absolutely amazing, so welcoming and make you feel at home and are helpful throughout your stay. We stayed on an electric pitch and was having trouble at first as we didn’t know what we was doing, but they came straight over and helped us get set up! Speaking to them and seeing them daily was lovely, they did a massive rounders game for everyone to join in which was great.

The facilities are brilliant, clean & tidy. Owners are always there for you if you need them. Cannot wait to come back again! Xx

Disliked: Nothing.

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked: From arriving at Red Oak we were make immediately welcome.
The facility’s very clean and well looked after. Nothing is a problem with a great leaflet letting you know where everything local is, which was very useful.
A lovely quiet campsite where I had solid night sleep.
I would highly recommend this campsite and will definitely be returning next year

Local attractions

Shropshire Sculpture Park (five minutes’ drive) exhibits more than 100 artworks on the lush grounds of the British Ironwork Centre. They include the 13-foot Spoon Gorilla (made out of – you guessed it: spoons; upwards of 40,000 of them, donated by people all around the world) and a sculpture honouring police dogs. Dating from the 11th century, moated Whittington Castle (10 minutes) occupies a 12-acre site that is home to ducks, swans and other wildlife. Among the events organised at the castle are alfresco theatre performances, living history weekends and craft fairs. A northbound drive along the A5 takes you past the early 19th-century Chirk Aqueduct (25 minutes), whose arches stretch across the border between England and Wales, and all the way to Chirk Castle (half an hour). This National Trust property is home to a collection of decorative arts that includes a spectacular Japanese chest with mother-of-pearl details.
