 What can I say, Pat and Alan were the perfect hosts in a perfect setting. The site is small which isnt a problem and is spotless and godsend, was well presented. The toilet and shower block perfect and clean and free. Yes free, experience of great pleasure in a cold May Shropshire camping.
I would recommend this site to anybody and will no doubt stay there again when I next visit Shropshire.

WHAT A GREAT SITE
Approx 35 level pitches
Well laid out, with new shrubs between pitches to about waist height.
Plenty of room on the pitch.
Toilets, showers, washing-up, disabled facilities all SPOTLESS. There is a freezer - FREE USE and washing machine for a couple of pounds. Local information shed full of leaflets & ideas of places to go, magazines & books. The adjacent field has a mowed perimiter, excellent for dog walking or a quick jog in the morning. The swings are great for little children - a bench in the field would be great.
Near enough to Shrewsbury & other local attractions to make it an excellent base.
Very friendly & thoughtful owners who gave great suggestions of places to visit/where to park & checked everyone was ok during bad storm.
Larger dome tents with additional pods might find the pitches a little tight.
We have a Bear Lake 6 & it was perfect.

I have just got back from a stay at Cartref Campsite near Shrewsbury. I chose this campsite because of the previous reviews, and I'd like to add to the compliments made so far.
Alan and Pat were extremely helpful to us, they make the perfect hosts. They genuinely care about the people that stay there, and want to make sure everyone enjoys their stay. The toilets and showers were very clean indeed, and warm. The showers are free and lovely and warm. There is an area for small children to play in the next field with some small swings and see-saws, a couple of goal posts for ball games and plenty of space for the children to run around without disturbing anyone. There is an area to walk your dog if you have one.
I stayed there with my wife and 2 young children, and will definitely be returning, I have recommended the site to my family and would recommend to anyone else who is looking for a good peaceful, friendly, clean campsite.
It is only a few miles from Shrewsbury but in the peaceful countryside. It's also quite handy for Telford and Ironbridge, and not far from Llangollen and welshpool.

Have just had a fantastic stay at Cartref campsite. The toilet block is the cleanest I have ever used in over 20 years of camping, there was even a heater and fresh flowers in there! The owner Alan was really friendly and was happy to answer any questions that we had.
The site itself was very peaceful and very safe for children to play in the adjacent field on the play equipment. It was also refreshingly inexpensive to stay which is becoming quite rare in the camping world.
Will definitely be going again - ideal for a 'chill out' weekend break.

We chose this site after reading previous reviews and were not disappointed. This is an excellent site with first class facilities. We took the dog with us and the site did not charge any extra for him.
An adjacent field has a play area for children. There are swings, two goal posts and a small pitch. The grass in this area is mowed and there is also a mowed path running around the perimeter of the field for exercising the dog. A few times around the field was more than enough for our old border collie. There is also a bin provided for dog waste.
The surrounding area is really lovely and Shrewsbury itself is beautiful, with lots of interesting places to visit. There are lots of very nice shops if you like shopping. We also went to Telford which again was packed with interest and is a designated World Heritage Site.
We will be going back to this part of the country as there is so much to see. The walk along the river at Shrewsbury is a must. We will also stay at this camp site again too as it is such a lovely place to relax in following a busy day exploring the area.

This was our first outing with newly acquired trailer tent. We chose it on the basis of the previous reviews on this site and we weren't disappointed. The toilet / shower block is superb; other facilities also excellent with washing up cubicle, excellent information room amongst others. We mostly saw Alan for the 2 nights we were there and he could not have been more helpful. Very highly recommended.

Visited for 2nd time. You could circumnavigate the globe and still not find a better site. Pat and Alan are really nice people, the site is excellent, very clean and very quiet. If there is too much noise Pat's there in a shot to repectfully remind you to be quiet.
The toilets are something else, so clean, there's even plants on the window ledges. We bought a cactus (have I just started a trend?).

Just came back from Cartref today. What a lovely site. Small but well kept with attractive flower beds in the middle. Very good toilets and hot showers (free). No playground on site but children can run wild in the adjacent field. Pat and Alan were so helpful and even brought us an Easter Egg. The ground at the bottom of the site is still very wet so Alan used the tractor to get us on and off the pitch. He asked us if we would like to move but we were happy were we were so stayed put. The site is about a five min drive from the Shrewsbury Park and Ride - the only way to visit Shrewsbury, trust me! We drove to Welshpool which is a nice little market town, Ironbridge and Bridgnorth. There is no shop on site and the nearest pub is about 30min walk away. If you like peace and quiet you'll love Cartref.

Excellent small site about 5 miles west on the Shrewsbury to Welshpool main road. Close to A5, A49 and M54 for day trips. Local Co-op is 5 minute drive, but no pubs within walking distance.
The site owners made us very welcome and maintain the site to a high standard. Site has a new shower and toilet building which has excellent facilities, plenty of hot water and cubicles.
Site also has a large playing field with swings and small football goals, and can be used for exercising dogs.
Highly recommended.
