Lovely site in a beautiful location

We just spent 4 nights at this lovely site, as we were attending a family wedding at Wroxeter Hotel, just around the corner. As others have mentioned, you may hear some noise from weddings, but we did not find this loud or intrusive (there was another wedding over the weekend.). At our wedding, the guitarist was not allowed an amplifier in the teepees. The area is beautiful and we visited the Roman Baths and museum - the audio tour was very interesting and we enjoyed finding out more about the Roman city. We will be watching ‘Rome Wasn’t Built in a Day’ as soon as we get a chance. We also walked to the Vineyard, and whilst enjoyable enough, it could be an absolute gem with a little more development. If visiting again, we would take our bikes so that we could visit further afield. We also walked to The Horseshoes Inn at Uckington, which took about 20-30 mins along country lanes, mostly without traffic. We didn’t eat there but the menu looked good, although not a budget option. The site was easy to find but some of the signage could be clearer. The field is gently undulating but we were able to park our motorhome level, using ramps. There is an honesty box for payment and the charge was £14pn, but this was not displayed anywhere, and like others, we did not see the owner. The pitches were roomy and there is ehu available. The electric did trip out several times, at the main, but was quickly rectified by a regular camper (also an electrician) Apparently, they have had the system upgraded, but no one had reported that there was still an issue. As we left, the owner was arranging another visit from an electrician, so hopefully this issue will be resolved. I will also post this review on Search for Sites, so that I can add some photos. The ones on the CAMC website, just don’t do it justice!

A great location, but lack of information

The site was easy to find. It is a field; grass is cut but not very short. It is bumpy, we hit lucky and found ground that was flat! Views of the Wrekin are splendid. The site is generally quiet, but backs onto the hotel, which I guess could be noisy if events go on into the evening. When we were there is was just the afternoon - so no issue. The local church and vineyard are both worth a visit. There is no information about how to pay. There is a post box near the waste area (which could do with some improvement) but no information, no envelopes etc (which we have experienced elsewhere) Others on the site for several days had seen no one. We had to ring to find out about payment (we only stayed one night), and as we didnt have the exact money (£14), send a cheque afterwards. Although it had been dry, and I think the field is fairly well drained, our front wheel drive Ducato PVC was a bit reluctant to move forward on departure. Once moving it was fine, but perhaps not the best site for motorhomes.

Never saw owners, very uneven site, great location and peaceful.

This is a good location for Shrewsbury, Iron Bridge Museums etc, but the field is very uneven and difficult to get a motorhome level. We stayed but didn't see anyone from the campsite and had to hunt down the owners address to post money through the letter box. This could be a brilliant site with a few level hard standings for motorhomes and a welcome from the site owners.

A lovely rural CL handy for Shrewsbury and Ironbridge

Towards the end of September we spent 6 nights at Glebe Farm CL in our caravan. Access was easy and loads of space surrounded by fields containing sheep and alpacas. The grass was close mown, green and free of clippings. The classic CL site has 5 electricity points, the terrain is slightly rolling but well drained and with plenty of flat areas suitable for RVs as well. The main gates are open all the time and we felt a little insecure. This could easily be resolved with a chain or coded padlock. It faces South East so brilliant sunrises over the Wrekin landmark. The back fence butts up against the Wroxeter Hotel garden so you may occassionally hear marriage celebrations. The site forms part of the Wroxeter Roman city and is just a 5 minute walk to the English Heritage excavations and visitor centre. Excellent. The owner lives nearby and is easily contacted by phone. Do try local treats: Fidget Pie, Eley Pork Pie by Ironbridge and the Wrekin Blue cheese!! All in all we had a wonderful stay on this brilliant CL. We cannot wait to return.

A perfect Basic CL in a stunning area ...

When we arrived (directions in the book are slightly misleading) but we drove slowly and not a problem. Easy access into the field, and we couldn’t believe there was no one else there. We had been prewarned that the electric was not working, so not a problem, Lots of space to choose a pitch, fantastic views of The Wrekin and the surrounding area. Lots to explore, Wroxeter Roman Site , the Church in the village and the Vineyard are all within walking distance and worth a visit. We also walked up The Wrekin for stunning views and visited Ironbridge. If you are happy with a basic site, as we often are - this fits the bill perfectly! Thanks.

Lovely peaceful site for couple of nights away

Visited with our 10 year old son. We both enjoyed the Roman City only about 5 minutes walk away. The site itself was clean, open and had lovely views of the Wrekin in the distance. Surrounded by fields and birds. Plenty of space for us to kick a ball to each other without disturbing others on the site. Pitches very generous, electricity easy to access. Disposal facilities basic but perfectly adequate. Highly recommended for a stopover on the way somewhere or a peaceful base for local visits. Thanks!

Covid relief

Arrived on site by the directions given no problems booked for 6 nights which we needed to see all the lovely attractions around this area. The lovely lady and her daughter made us both feel very welcome and we will go back. There is water , electricity and waste disposal all on the site. But the thing is the views and the animals great.

Don't whine, but wine

When review stars are 2x 1, 2x 2 & 2x 5, result is an overall 3 stars you begin to wonder. We had a Red Letter voucher for the near-by vineyard tour so we thought we would try it regardless. Vineyard and CL are owned by the same family, but quite different members of it. We understood they were next door. So with an afternoon wine tasting, we could walk there & back easily. Yes on a map they are virtually adjacent. However getting there means leaving the CL by the entrance, down a country lane, through the village, (Quite interesting) and up a track. Which took us a 1/4 of an hour. The 3 hour tour, wine-tasting, afternoon tea were very good. We had booked 2 nights on the CL so we could do this. We thoroughly enjoyed it. It was part of my 70th birthday treat, and was appreciated. The CL. - I tell friends a CL is a farmer's field with a tap, emptying point, and bins. Maybe electricity. Which it was. Directions - we went down the correct lane. There is a sign pointing to the CL fastened to a highways department sign. Everything in the area is overgrown, so we nearly didn't see it. As it was we had to back maybe a couple of feet. The turn is tight. Then there is a sign pointing to the entrance which you suddenly find is by you. Again not a lot of room. But we got there without any real problem. CL - The field is a good size. There are 6 electric points. However a couple are under trees where the branches might make a noise over night. One is opposite with as good a view as you could want in the middle of a farming county. The grass had obviously been allowed to grow longish, then was cut so it lay in strips down the field. And trod into the caravan. We have caravanned for 40 years, on all kinds of sites. This is a farmer's field with basic facilities. Everything was there and worked. I have been to some CL's which were far better, with all kinds of facilities probably in an out house, hard standing even. Others are basic but full-filling all the requirements. This is basic. To pay, we left the money in a letter box outside the bungalow by the vineyard and phoned the owner to say what we had done. Later we saw her walking her dog, she waved. I was not woken up by a cockerel as other have been. However one morning I was aware of on in the distance. This is not a 1 star or 5 star CL It is a basic site fulfilling all requirements. It was certainly value. It is not impossible that we will return, as there are so many other things in the area to do.

Dissatisfied

Eventually found the site by chance, directions poor. Unable to contact owner on arrival at an empty field so no one around to direct us & no info in site of where owner lived , so just pitched where we wanted. No issues with the electrics but then we were the only one using it. Chemical toilet & waste disposal area in very poor state, rubbish hadn’t been removed from previous weeks. Owner arrived on our 3rd day to collect the fees & apologised about the length of the grass, why we couldn’t contact her & the general state of the Waste area saying it was due to sickness in the family. However looking at previous reviews this excuse had been used for several months . Even with the issues the owner still charged us more than website quote, saying electric was extra Will not be returning
