Fabulous CL
Wrekin View Caravan Site
Along with friends, we spent last week at Wrekin View and can only echo the 5 star ratings from other members. The owners were friendly, nothing was too much trouble and they even allowed us to store our cycles in their shed.
Upon arrival we were met by Brian and advised where to park informing us to keep well forward on the pitch to avoid acorns dropping on our roofs.
There is lots to do and see in the area and unfortunately we ran out of time, we could have easily spent another week there. We shall definitely visit this site again.
A big thank you from the 4 of us

Overall, a good stay
Wrekin View Caravan Site
It seems slightly unfair to offer any somewhat negative comments, when the owner is so friendly, but this is a review after all, so I am telling it as I saw it.
This is effectively an eight-pitch site, with the first three reserved for friends and family, with the CL beyond that, in the same field. The site is long and harrow, sloping down from left to right, and if there were only the five pitches, there would be plenty of space, but as it is we thought it was cramped, as evidenced by many campers having to park their cars in front of their vans, as there was insufficient room to the side.
Pitches one to three had hardstandings, four and five are grassy, and slightly larger we thought, but of course these were taken when we arrived. We were allocated pitch 3, even though 1 and 2 were vacant, and I got the impression these were reserved for regulars. Unfortunately, our pitch was next to the elsan disposal point.
Having got ourselves set up, we were bombarded by acorns from the tree above, so had to wind up the legs and move forward 6 feet. The owner was apologetic, and said this only usually happens later in the year, but there were acorn husks all across the gravel and grass near us.
Security is tight to say the least, with a gate and a recorded voice bellowing 'you are being recorded by CCTV' every time I left the site on my morning jog.
Recycling had to be bagged up before being left in the bin, meaning extra plastic, which seemed odd.
We had booked a week and overall had an enjoyable stay, but it was not particularly cheap and I doubt we would stay here again, mainly for the cramped feeling we endured.
Very peaceful location

A charming little village with a village green and pub within walking distance

Lovely welcome,
Wrekin View Caravan Site
We stayed with our motorhome. This is a very relaxed site and ideal for cycling. It is on cycle route 81. Brian made us feel very welcome and we would recommend it to all. The village of Upton Magna is only a short distance away if you need to pick up supplies. Thank you Brian for a lovely visit.

Wrekin View Caravan Site
Stayed at this friendly CL back in 2018 and at long last have managed a return visit in May 2021.
Lovely Chatty welcome, quiet, lovely views over the Wrekin, good walking, easy access to Shrewsbury, fully serviced pitches, elec, water and grey waste
Pitches are slightly sloping, there are timber packers about so just be aware.
Despite what a previous reviewer has said the site feels spacious and there is more than enough room for van awning and car.
