Our pitch overlooking stunning scenery all

Off-grid campsite with spectacular views over the Shropshire Hills
Ironbridge Valley of Invention 25 minutes’ drive; hiking from site
Spacious grass pitches in a dark-skies area; shops 15 minutes’ drive

Are you ready for a real off-grid experience? One with spectacular views over hills on the edge of the Shropshire Hills National Landscape, with lots of walking options right from the field… and the chance to see buzzards or red kites flying overhead? If it’s yes to all those questions, then haste ye to Spring Field Dark Skies Camping. On-site numbers are kept low to provide spacious pitches and privacy for all guests and keep the ‘away-from-it-all’ vibe of the place. Facilities are simple: solar power for the electricity and a private water supply. There are blocks with proper flushing toilets, showers and hot hand-washing facilities, plus separate grey and black water disposal is available. Guests are also welcome to unwind in a communal sheltered picnic pod with a TV and phone charging facilities. James, the camp host, can arrange canoe hire experiences along the river Severn directly from the site. If you’re keen to hone your barbecuing skills instead, pick up gourmet treats from the well-known butcher in Much Wenlock (15 minutes by car); only firepits and barbecues hired on site are permitted. Otherwise, there are several traditional pubs serving good grub within about the same distance, and Shrewsbury’s only 35 minutes away for big nights out. By the way, the site’s in a dark-skies area, so if you get a clear night, don’t miss the chance to see the stars glittering in the heavens far above you. It's also eco-friendly: a solar installation provides all electrical supplies, and water comes from an underground aquifer. Keep your eyes peeled, as the open field management attracts many birds of prey. There are many more eco features, including eco-friendly mowers and recycling facilities.
