  • Peaceful 10-acre wild site with gorgeous views in the Shropshire Hills
  • A 10-minute walk to the Long Mynd; 20 minutes' drive to Ludlow
  • Pick your own pitch; village pub and café within walking distance
Choices, choices… it’s a pick-your-own-pitch setup at Mowbray Meadow, so you can take a stroll around and settle down with whichever view takes your fancy. And what views they are – this 10-acre site is in the Shropshire Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, with 360-degree views over the surrounding countryside. One thing you won’t have to factor in when selecting your spot is the ground quality – the pitching area is all flat and level, so setting up should be straightforward enough. Composting toilets and showers are available to guests, and you’re welcome to build fires to keep toasty in the evenings as long as you buy fuel on site (no foraging in the undergrowth for sticks, thanks – it’s very disturbing for the wildlife). Speaking of wildlife, you may well spot various beasts around the place during your stay. Red kites frequently circle overhead and you may hear a woodpecker tapping in the trees on a summer day. To see more of the locals, take a walk over to the nearby Long Mynd, where wild ponies roam. That’s just one of the places you could visit for a day out nearby – there’s also plenty to explore around Ludlow or with trips to the likes of Stokesay Castle and Acton Scott Historic Working Farm. The local towns of Church Stretton and Craven Arms are both less than 10 minutes away by car for cafés, pubs and shops. Even closer is the village of Marshbrook – it's about five minutes' walk away and has a pub, a bike hire place and a café that does a very fine cooked breakfast.

Stuart R.

Primitive grass tent campsite

Liked Big open site with great views. Just a few minutes walk to get food/drink at the local pub.
Wild style camping but with a bit of the convenience of composting loos and a shower(just 1).

Wildlife could be heard even if not seen.

Great friendly welcome.

Primitive grass tent campsite

Liked Prompt payment of refund.

Disliked On arrival we were told that we were not allowed BBQ/gas/camp fire. This was after travelling down so was very disappointing and we could not stay as all our plans were centered around our ability to cook!
We understand reasons for their decision (dry weather and risk of fire) and respect their concern about safety.
However, they should have told us when we booked or prior to leaving and should not advertise bbq/camp fire on the website. We only booked the day before and I have noted that they still advertised bbq / campfires all weekend.

Sally O.

Primitive grass tent campsite

Liked We absolutely loved this campsite. The owners were really friendly and helpful and the site itself had everything we needed.
The composting loos were surprisingly nice with lights, lots of loo roll and other thoughtful supplies. We didn't try the shower as we were just there one night but it was clean and spacious.
This site is perfect for kids - there are friendly goats to fuss over, a little playground and a giant pile of sand to mess around in :D
The pitches are mowed into the two camping fields and they are very well separated - we stayed in peak season and we felt secluded. Overall a wonderful stay 10 out of 10!

Would definitely go back there again.

Primitive grass campervan campsite

Liked Very quiet, lots of space to yourself and nice little walk.
Shower and toilets were great. Shower was a short walk away down the hill and across the brook but was clean.
We greeted by the owner of the space and she was really helpful and lovely too!

Primitive grass tent campsite

Liked Friendly check in. Pitch up wherever you want. Facilities are very basic! My first impression of the shower wasn’t the best, felt a little “too outside” but the water was super hot and it was surprisingly a nice shower experience. There was no WiFi but I had a strong phone signal.

Local attractions

Might you possibly have come to this area for a walk or few? It’s a very fine choice, as the Shropshire Hills are renowned for their hiking potential. Carding Mill Valley and the Long Mynd are the most well-known spots (and you can walk to the Long Mynd in 10 minutes or so), but there’s plenty more out there too. A good place to start for ideas is in Craven Arms (10 minutes’ drive), where you can drop in on the Shropshire Hills Discovery Centre. While you’re there, take a look at Stokesay Castle as well, and browse through the collections at the Land of Lost Content museum. For other days out, you can rent bikes in the local village or head to Church Stretton (10 minutes) for a round of golf or a dip in Carding Mill Reservoir. Acton Scott Historic Working Farm (five minutes) is a good pick for a kid-friendly day out; meanwhile, Ludlow (20 minutes) is an appealing prospect for grownups, with its independent food shops and restaurants making particularly tasty options.
