Why stay here ...
We have been a CL site since 1969.
There are five grass pitches situated in a well mown lawn field sheltered by mature trees and hedges. All have electric hook up and plenty of space. Facilities include, chemical toilet and grey water emptying point, refuse disposal, recycling, toilets and water.
The site is a hidden gem in the heart of the country on the Staffordshire Shropshire boarder where there is peace and tranquility alongside the Shropshire Union Canal, yet within easy reach of junction 14 of the M6.
We are surrounded by beautiful country side where you can walk the many footpaths, the canal tow path or explore the area by bicycle.
There are many places of interest within a short driving distance with golfing and game fishing also close by. We can provide permits for canal fishing alongside the site, which are free to Club members using the CL.
The site is within the grounds of our home, "The Anchor Inn", recently awarded heritage status of national importance. The pub has been kept by our family for nearly 150 years. It has changed very little in all that time. Enjoy your drink in the friendly atmosphere seated on the original settles at the old scrubbed tables, which have been used by working narrow boat people since the 1830s. Any entertainment is created by you or the passing canal folk. We are famous for our real ale and scrumpy and have received many CAMRA pub awards including pub of the year. There is no restaurant but we will happily make you a sandwich to enjoy In the parlour bar or in the pretty canal side beer garden.
Supermarkets can be found in Newport 4 miles away. The nearby ancient market town of Eccleshall is 4 miles away and there is small post office and shop in the local village of Woodseaves, only one mile away. Mementos and gifts can be purchased from our own gift shop.

Great Find
The Anchor Inn
We picked this site to break a journey but liked it soo much we intend to return. We had a peaceful couple of days and the photographic possibilities were endless. Sitting in the Inn talking to the boat owners was a delight, as were the owners of the site. The field was spacious and quiet with easy access to local amenities.
Lovely little site
The Anchor Inn
What a great place. Considering how bad the weather has been and how wet the field was, Elaine went out of her way to make it possible for us to pitch our caravan. We had such a wonderful welcome from Elaine and the Anchor Inn is the most amazing pub. The location alongside the canal is great for walking our two dogs and the site is so peaceful with views of the lovely countryside. At £25 a night it is a little bit expensive but worth it for the experience. Will definitely be going back.

Wonderful CL
The Anchor Inn
Wonderful CL in lovely peaceful setting beside the picturesque Shropshire Union Canal. The Anchor Inn pub is an old fashioned gem next door to the camping fields.
The hostess Elaine owns both the pub and the CL. We can’t praise her highly enough, very friendly and helpful. Been coming here for 42 years on and off. Her parents Graham and Olive (sadly no longer with us) would be immensely proud of her for continuing to run the place as they would have wished.
Thanks for your hospitality Elaine and we’ll see you soon.

Lovely little CL
The Anchor Inn
Stayed just one night to break journey on a long haul to Scotland. Very handy as not far from M6. Immaculate lawned site. Only very slightly sloping and leveling blocks quicky fixed that. No noise despite being next to pub. Owners very welcoming. Friendly little pub but absoutely tiny inside. No food but there really wouldnt really be room to serve any! Took dogs on pleasant walk along adjoining canal tow path. Would definitely revisit.
Not for us
The Anchor Inn
other than the large open field to set up on i really can't find anything good to say.
the peace and quiet people talk about was no existent due to the owners dogs continually barking. although when loose were friendly and quiet.
I found the owners distant and standoffish. getting any information from them was like pulling teeth. the recycling area was full and over flowing as if it had not been cleared in weeks.
The pub although quaint and old fashioned at first, soon rub's off and becomes small and run down. the beer garden is well kept and pretty (sorry that 2 good things).
it has been ticked off but we will not be returning as there are cheaper sites out there with better welcomes and better kept facilities for less money.
