If you like the sound of having farm shops and ice cream farms nearby, as well as access to lots of walking and cycling trails, Stretton House Campsite should be a fine pick for you. It has a strict no noise policy after 10pm, meaning that you should get a peaceful night's sleep too.
This site is in the grounds of the 400-year-old Stretton House surrounded by the Cheshire countryside with handy transport links nearby and outdoor activities in no short supply… that includes things like alpaca walking, golf or Manley Mere’s watersports haven (a 20-minute drive away for the latter).
You’ll have your pick of two fields, both with car parking by the pitch free of charge and dogs allowed. The facilities include separate male and female toilet blocks, pay per use shower block, mobile phone charging facilities, free wifi and chemical toilet disposal and a drinking water standpipe. You’ll have permission to start up a barbecue or firepit too (subject to the correct safety measures).
When you’re ready to get going, the friendly owners will be willing to help out however they can and suggest possible days out, which may include fishing or walking at Pickmere Lake (10 minutes’ drive), visiting an ice cream farm (within 10 minutes’ drive of the site) or going to the local golf course (five minutes’ drive).
For food, there’s a farm shop just two minutes’ walk away from the site where you’ll be able to get your hands on local produce. Pubs aren’t far away either – there is one pub five minutes' walk away, and another 15 minutes' walk away.
Festival goers are very welcome, and the Creamfields Festival site is five minutes’ drive away. Please respect the quiet hours (no noise is permitted after 10pm) and environment, as the owners' home is on the grounds (and stick to the field's facilities only).
No waste accepted onsite. All rubbish must be taken home at the end of your stay.

Land was fantastic! Loads of space around and trees. Provided different areas for camping and amazing facilities on the site! They even had a little bench area which had cover and a van with food from early morning till 4pm. Wood and fire pit was available and Roxy was amazing with communication and supporting our stay. Loads of walk trails available from the campsite. Onsite toilets with working showers( warm/ hot water!) which was well maintained throughout the stay! Provided plugs, fridges, and even fresh eggs from the farm is needed!
Definitely recommend!

2 nights at Capel Cathy
We had the most wonderful stay at this beautiful cabin and honestly couldn’t recommend it enough! 🌿✨
It’s the perfect little escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life and such a lovely place to switch off, slow down and feel completely connected to nature. The cabin itself was beautiful and cosy, and the outdoor bath overlooking the grounds was such a special touch. Sitting there listening to the owls and all the wildlife around us was so peaceful.
The star gazing was probably one of our favourite parts of the whole stay — I genuinely don’t think I’ve ever seen a sky so full of stars!
The couple who run the cabin were absolutely lovely and couldn’t have been more attentive or helpful. Even when we hadn’t received the manual (which, as it turns out, was sitting happily in my junk folder 🤣), they were so patient and helpful with everything we needed. They even kindly let us pick some apples from their apple tree, which was such a lovely little extra!
The wood fire was another gorgeous addition and made the cabin feel so cosy in the evenings. And the bed… honestly, I think that was the best night’s sleep I’ve had in a long time!
The neighbouring town was also a delight and had a lot of cute shops to browse!
It really is such a special place and the perfect retreat if you’re looking to escape, reconnect with nature and properly relax. We absolutely loved our stay and would definitely recommend it. We’re already hoping to come back again in the future! 🤍🌿✨

A huge site with lots of space between pitches and gorgeous views, we requested the woodlands pitch but someone else had already booked way ahead of us in advance so we settled for the upper field pitch where we had the whole field to ourselves the first night. There are portaloos dotted around and they are very new and clean. You can hike to the Stiperstones directly from this site, just be prepared to cross plenty of fields and bush country and remember the route you took or you may wound up lost on the way back. Fire bowl and wood were provided upon request. The site has long sloping land but its not really an issue. We parked our car right next to our pitch which thankfully helps alot due to the vastness of the land, you can easily drive a 2 wheel drive vehicle around with no issues. Thank you so much, we would definitely recommend this site and would love to return at some point.

This campsite is an absolute gem. Tucked alongside rolling green hills with a gentle river running right through the grounds, it feels peaceful and secluded from the moment you arrive. A quaint train track runs nearby, which adds a lovely, nostalgic touch to the landscape rather than disturbing the quiet.
The facilities are spotless and clearly well maintained, making the whole stay completely hassle free. Our favorite part was the evenings: sitting by an open fire roasting marshmallows with an unobstructed, crystal-clear view of the stars overhead. It was the perfect escape, and we cannot wait to come back for a longer stay. Highly recommended!

Where to go
Shropshire Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty
Covering almost a quarter of the landscape in Shropshire, Shropshire Hills AONB is a cosy woodland escape with walks through pastures, cycling trails past villages, and paths along river valleys. Take in popular sights like The Wrekin, where campers can ascend the hill and admire the Iron Age hillfort that awaits at the top. The 552/553 bus route and shuttle make this AONB easily accessible by public transit, and a range of tent pitches, glamping pods, and tiny home rentals offer comfortable accommodation on-site.
Snowdonia National Park (Eryi)
With nine mountain ranges and 74 miles of coastline, Snowdonia is the largest national parkland in Wales. Take a steep hike up the rocky Pyg Track, or wander along the accessible Benar Boardwalk for tranquil views over Cardigan Bay. Several official campsites inside the park make it easy to stay, though campers are advised to book early in summer. Wild camping may be available with landowner permission; otherwise, campers can explore an array of private tent pitches and caravan sites in the hills and meadows.
Peak District National Park
Peak District National Park covers four counties and over 1,400 square kms, making it a diverse destination for mountain biking, accessible walks, and learning about local history. Journey through the past with walks past prehistoric sites to medieval castles on self-guided tours or a park ranger-assisted educational visit. Miles Without Stiles provide numerous accessible trails for all ages and mobility levels, while horse riding, rock climbing at Stanage Edge, and caving in Titan Cave offer even more ways to discover the Peak District. Stay overnight at a national park campsite, or explore unique getaways like private glamping yurts for a luxury experience.
When to go
Camping near Shrewsbury is most popular from June to August, when warm weather averages 21°C. The shoulder seasons of spring and fall tend to be the driest, though campers are advised to bring a few layers for chilly nights. Rain and snow are common in winter months. However, pleasant snowy landscapes and few crowds draw plenty of campers to Shrewsbury for a winter holiday escape.
