Riverside camping in Shropshire Hills AONB

·

Looking for a riverside pitch in the Shropshire Hills AONB? You’ll find over 190 choices, all set up for easy access to the area’s winding streams and green valleys. Locals come here for wild swims, casting a line, and horseback rides along the water’s edge. Some sites sit right by the River Teme, others tuck into wooded banks where you’ll spot kingfishers at dawn. Bring your dog—most camps welcome pets, and facilities like toilets and showers make roughing it less of a chore. Prices range from as low as £10 up to an average of £110 per night. For a spot with plenty of riverside action, check out Cwmffrwd Farm Campsite (185 reviews), Panpwnton Campsite (74 reviews), or Pytingwyn Woods (70 reviews). Don’t forget your rod or swimming kit—a few of these pitches put you just steps from the water.

This land of rolling hills, woods and rivers on the border with Wales is a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Pitch your tent here and you’ll soon see why. You’ll be camping in the most beautiful part of a county that’s less populated than anywhere else in the country. Unsurprisingly, it was tucked among these hills that we found some of the best camping and glamping sites in Shropshire too.
