What customers say
Stretton Hall Camping gets a thumbs up for its ripper owners, spotless facilities, and chilled-out vibe. Great spot for checking out local sights or festivals, with easy transport mentioned. While some thought it was a bit basic and dear for what's on offer (especially the shower situation), others loved the quiet and flexibility. Most would happily come back.
Summary AI-generated from Pitchup.com customer reviews








A repeat visit for a reason, well maintained, a top basic site
Unpowered grass tent or trailer tent site
Liked Modern toilet and shower facilities
Very well kept and facilities cleaned to a good standard routinely
Great location; farm-shop over the road, pubs local (although some are closed down), walks and running routes are decent
The field is never quite very populated … I can’t stand cramped sites!
Disliked Nothing at the price, but an added benefit would be a small play area for kids - just wooden build, even obstacle course kind; there’s enough real estate for it

Lovely, clean, peaceful site that is suitable for everyone.
Unpowered grass tent or trailer tent site
Liked 2 lovely fields to choose from. Plenty of room for everyone. Lovely, peaceful site. Dog and family friendly but everyone was very respectful and quiet and there was no disturbing noise at all after 9pm.
Toilets very clean and the washing up area and cold fresh water tap were handy too.
Great location, only minutes from the motor way.
Great place to relax for a weekend or a great base to go out for day trips or exploring near by attractions. We went wild swimming at Horse Shoe Falls (50 mins away) and had a great day. Lots of people paddleboarding there too.
You can park your car by your tent too which is always helpful.
There is a carbon sale at the site on a Sunday once a month. Tents needs to be packed away by 11am so the field can be used as a car park for visitors. You can keep your car on the site though and visit the cartoon sale if you wish. Worth bearing in mind if staying at the weekend or over weekend and into the week. Maybe ask before booking.
The owner is very friendly and helpful with great knowledge of the local area and attractions to visit. No question was too big or small.
We also ate out locally at The Partrige pub/restaurant which was amazing. The staff were super friendly and the food was outstanding.
We will definitely re-visit Stretton Hall Camping again and recommend it to single campers, couples and families. It's a great site for everyone.
Disliked We had quite a few wasps around our tent but that's our fault for not taking anything with us to deal with them! It's part of being in the countryside and out in nature.
It was also the hottest day of the year so to be expected but worth bearing in mind if you have kids. Take some spray!

Needs better and more facilities.
Unpowered grass caravan site
Liked Easy access and good cafe/farmshop over the road.
Disliked The facilities are pretty dire for the amount of people and cost of booking. Realistically, this is what we pay for from a site as we could park up anywhere and not have good facilities. Paying extra for showers is ridiculous when this is one of the more expensive campsites already.

From the manager: Hi Richard,
Thank you for staying with us and the time you have taken to review our campsite. We clearly advertise all of the facilities we have available and their respective costs if applicable. Perhaps you could offer some explanation as to what you are looking for in exchange for £15 a night. We provide toilets, showers, kitchen sink with hot running water, waste collection, fresh drinking water, elsan facilities, tennis court, dog park, log sales, fresh chicken and duck eggs etc…..perhaps you expected to find a host of other facilities we didn’t advertise when you arrived? Please contact us directly with some improvement suggestions and in exchange we will gladly refund your pitch fee in full.
Kind regards,
Paul

Can't wait for next year
Unpowered grass tent or trailer tent site
Liked Stayed for 2 nights, stayed for the nearby 'neighbourhood weekender' festival.
Lovely clean site, nice cafe over the road, great shower block and toilets. Very friendly helpful owners/staff. Packed field with festival goers and all were very happy, even lifts to and from festival and site at great prices. Superb. Well done all at Stretton. Fantastic. And I rarely leave reviews.

Overpriced for poor facilities and a rutted field.
Unpowered grass caravan site
Liked Good location, close to motorway, a farm shop across the road and a couple of good, dog friendly pubs in walking distance.
Disliked Expensive for what you got. £5 a night for the dog is a lot. Ground was rutted and poorly maintained. Portacabin toilets OK but not good enough for £35 a night. No shower and no electric hook-up.

From the manager: Hi Robert,
Thank you for your booking and your review. I note your comments re the minor rutting on the field. Rather than poor maintenance this represents winter drainage that has been completed to improve the site. The price for pets is clearly advertised and it is your choice whether or not to book for your dog if the price doesn’t appeal. I am surprised that you have chosen to mark us down for services we don’t advertise. As an aside, later this season we will have a shower block that we are renovating currently.
