Lovely, peaceful and well maintained.
We have stayed here several times. Bruce and Anne are great hosts. The site is immaculate and access is easy to the surrounding area.
The homemade goats cheese and milk is brilliant.

A FANTASTIC site
We have stayed at many cl’s and this is one of, if not, the best we have ever stayed at in 6 years of caravanning. Can only repeat what others have said. Great hosts, very helpful and informative and amazing surroundings. It’s a lovely part of the world that we keep coming back to. The kids had a great time, especially with the nearby goats that they liked to entertain. I have no doubt that we will return here again in the future as we were instantly relaxed from the moment we arrived to the moment we left. We stayed 7 nights but quickly turned that into 8. Bruce and Anne have a great set up. I shouldn’t really say how good it is because we may never get another chance to stay! A little bit of caution is needed when entering and particularly exiting as it is a little tight but nothing anyone should really worry about, just give yourself a wide swing. We are missing this place already and will return. Thanks 👍
Can't fault it...
Large, quiet grassy site with big pitches and lovely views, about a mile from Bishops Castle. Anne and Bruce are a great couple, nothing was too much trouble, and their duck eggs were a treat!
We did four amazing walks from the site, from five miles to twelve. Lots of hills with spectacular views. Both Bishops Castle and Clun (which we walked to) have a lot to offer, with history and lovely old unspoiled pubs. There is also a small Co-op in town, plus fish 'n' chips, and Chinese take-away.
Don't worry about the 6amp electric - it is definitely more than that, probably 16amp. We had no problems at all with it.
Just one suggestion, perhaps a name change, as 'caravan park' conjures up images of a big crowded site - which is what CL users want to avoid.
Will definitely be back!
Wonderful CL
What a great little CL. A warm welcome from Bruce & Anne when we arrived, giving us all the detail we needed on the sites & there local area. We stayed for 6 nights, walked or cycled everyday & thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Bishop’s Castle has some lovely pubs & shops and the surrounding area is beautiful. We will definitely be back.
A Warm Welcome
We were met at the gate by Bruce and Ann and were given all the information we needed about where to pitch and where the facilities were. The CDP and drinking water facilities were excellent and grey waste goes down a drain next to the drinking water supply. Great size pitches with plenty of room on the field so all units were very well spaced. Great views from our well-maintained pitch and the first bird we saw was a Red Kite. There is some noise from the road, mostly farm traffic, but it was not intrusive, and the site is very quiet at night. It was great to buy fresh eggs (hen, quail and duck) and also tasty but mild goat’s cheese. It was nice to wake aupnd see the sheep and goats with their young close by. The scenery in this part of Shropshire is fantastic and there are so many places to visit. You can walk straight from site or go out to explore. Places we went to were Mitchells Fold Stone Circle, Burys Ditch Hill Fort, Clun and circular walk from site through fields woods and quiet country lanes. Bruce and Ann gave us lots of information about the area and a potted history of the site. We will certainly go back again to explore this lovely area.
A GREAT STAY
I agree all the positive comments that have been made about this lovely site. The CAMC handbook states the EHUs are 6A. This is a typo. They are 16A. The route in from the south through Clun is OK for campervans and small motorhomes but not for large motorhomes or caravans. A pleasant short walk into Bishop's Castle where there are a range of facilities. A longer but equally good walk to Clun which also has a couple of cafes and shops.
Plenty of Walking from this site
We stayed here mid August at a mid point for our journey from Berwick to Plymouth. Very quiet and flat field with service point at the far end. We had a great welcome from our host who gave us all the info we needed. Plenty of walking to be had and a great site for staying near Bishops Castle. Thank you (Belatedly!)
Delightfully idyllic
I really don't know where to start! Perhaps on arrival, where we were met at the gate by Bruce and Anne? We were a little late but they had waited for us, armed with local leaflets and warm smiles. We were directed to the biggest pitch we have ever seen where, whichever way you parked there is a view! ! This is a site made in heaven.
Water, elsan, grey waste disposal, general waste and recycling are available together with hen and duck eggs (very reasonably priced). Anne usually has her homemade goat's cheese for sale but the goats had been a bit reluctant during our stay! The site is immaculate, there is even a designated 'dog walk' along one hedge. Our hosts' local knowledge is freely given which is invaluable. There is a lovely footpath into Bishop's Castle along the Shropshire Way
The site is ideal for touring South Shropshire. We travelled about by bicycle and foot; there are some splendid trails and footpaths, with the Long Mynd not far away. The Kerry Ridgeway starts in the town; the views from this fantastic drover's path are magnificent the further you go. The village of Clun with it's ruined castle and very nice tea rooms is four miles down the road.
Anne and Bruce deserve every success with this venture: we will definitely go back.
A fantastic peaceful well maintained location.
We were welcomed by Bruce when we arrived and he gave us loads of information about the site and surrounding area. The site is immaculate and there is lots of space for each of the 5 spots. A very quiet location but within a 20min walk to Bishops Castle via a number of fields with one stile we had to carry our dog over. Anne came over later and gave us a load of information on walks (including maps) and other details. If you are in the area this is definitely worth a stop.

Great find
We had one night here en route home but wished we’d been able to stay for more in this lovely green field. It was so peaceful, surrounded by beautiful countryside on a quiet lane. The Shropshire Way and Offas Dyke paths are 5 minutes away over the lane and give access to many walks. Bruce and Anne couldn’t have done more to make us feel welcome. Everything is well organised and clean, water tap, grey water draining and a discreet chemical loo emptying point. Eggs, goats milk and cheese sold at the gate. Lovely pubs in Bishops Castle. No hesitation in recommending!
