Dog-friendly camping in Shropshire

·

Shropshire’s dog-friendly camping scene offers over 100 options where pets are as welcome as people. You’ll find sites with showers, proper toilets, and campfires allowed—essentials after days spent horseback riding, fishing, or watching wildlife in the hills and woodlands. Prices start at £9 a night, with the average around £42. Local favourites include Hamperley Hideaways (79 reviews), Panpwnton Campsite (74 reviews), and Wild conTENTment (41 reviews). Expect open fields, easy access to walking trails, and plenty of space for your dog to run. Don’t forget your lead—some sites back onto sheep pastures. Rubbish and recycling points are standard, and you’ll often spot firewood for sale near the entrance. Shropshire keeps it practical, friendly, and straightforward—just how locals like it.

We are a small basic 7 acre campsite in the Shropshire hills between the long mynd and the stipperstones great for wild camping. So offers great walks and mountain biking. Carding Mill Valley is just a short drive which is great place for exploring and playing in the streams or wild swimming in the reservoir. It is a simple site with toilets showers and we have a canteen with a kettle, fridge, microwave, tables and chairs, sink area and power. The campsite is on the side of a hill but there are pleanty of flat areas to pitch up. The campsite has lovely views of the surrounding area. We do allow fire's and can supply fire pits and wood. We have an undercover area which can be used as cover from rain, this area also has a pool table. We allow tents, caravans, motor homes, although dont have electric hookups. We can allow group bookings. We use the site for a festival once a year and the stage is a permanent structure as is the bar and medic cabins, these will not affect your stay in anyway just making you aware they are there.
