 Enjoyed 2 nights at this lovely campsite. The views over Ludlow are superb. It was about a mile walk through the woods into the town.
The pitches well kept with very short grass. Good Basic facilities kept very clean, a gem of a site at a reasonable cost.

We had a wonderful time here. The lady who greeted us was business-like but clear in her explanations of site arrangements.
The pitch we got was on the 'slope' but if you get your sleeping orientation right this presents no problem.
Fantastic view of Ludlow. Facilities very clean and well organised, might have to queue for showers if it's busy. Horses in next door field serenaded us with harrumphs, coughs and the occasional sound of a lovely frisky gallop.
A bit of a steep walk back from town, taking about 30 minutes, best avoided in the dark after quite a few lovely local ales! Great fun. Would return.

Stayed at the site at the start of July before schools had broken up so it was very peaceful. However It's a small site so I doubt it ever gets very busy or noisy.
The site is part of a riding school. Check-in is 2pm earliest as before then the parking for the school restricted access. The lady at reception on arrival was very pleasant and helpful. Our charge was £15 inc hookup for a large motorhome with 2 adults which was good value for money. The pitches are in a steep field in front of the farm with a small number of flattened pitches for caravans/motohomes.
All pitches are on grass with no hard standing. Although it had been raining a lot before our arrival Drainage was quite good, helped by the steepness I guess.
Facilities are limited with only 1 shower each for men & women but they are clean and the water was hot. There are also washing facilities. Water fill up and grey water dumping are near reception and for motorhomes are on arrival only as there is a strict one way policy on site. Water fill up is charged £1 per fill. There is also facilities to dump black water.
The site overlooks Ludlow but views are only really from the top pitches, the view from the lower pitches is obscured somewhat by trees.
The walk into Ludlow is around a mile, a bit hilly on the way back and although the road is quiet there are no pathways so you have to take care. There are some footpaths through the park from a layby around halway. Becaue of the late check in time we decided to take our van into Ludlow and there is a fantastic car park (Smithfield, Lower Gadleford, SY8 1RN) with parking spaces specifically for large vehicles, £2 for up to 10 hours and 5 minutes walk into town. We stayed in town until late afternoon and then just settled at the site. Last check in is 9pm which is good.
Ludlow itself is a charming old market town with some beautiful architecture, just the right size plenty of bespoke shops but very few chains. There is a market every saturday with some great stalls. The castle is magnificent.
All in all a nice quite site which we would definitely come back to and Ludlow is a lovely little town well worth a visit.

We've just returned from this wonderful site. Fantastic views over Ludlow and the surrounding hills and countryside. The camping field is grass, on a slope but with pitches levelled out. There iare two showers two toilets one for ladies and one for gents which could be a problem if fully booked.
The walk down to Ludlow is quite strenuous and only recommended if you are fit and able but well worth the effort.
I did feel that the owner/lady was a little lacking in people skills. Don't expect a friendly welcome here, let's just say she is very business like in her approach to you. One camper put it as she 'runs a tight ship' others thought she was rude. My run in was when I was picking up my dogs poop! I was told that my dog was not allowed to do it in the camping field! The dog had to do it outside. I told the dog and I think it understood! Well I managed to drag it quickly out each morning. God knows what you do if you have a bigger dog!
This really is a great site oh and it also has a riding establishment with it. Don't go near the horses unless you're wearing a riding hat!
Ok, would we go again? Yes, as said before, great site, great location and we did have a good time here

Management response: Thank you for submitting your review. In response I would like to make the following points:
1. As with most camp sites, dog owners are requested to walk their dogs off site. However some owners make no effort to walk their dog off site and think it is acceptable to let their dog foul the camping field provided it is picked up! This is totally unacceptable from a health and safety point of view, as there may be a residue left behind. Dog fouling is a hazard for toddlers and children and is offensive to others. If any dog cannot exit a small camping field before fouling surely it needs to be walked more often? We do not have a dedicated dog walk, but we do ask people to walk their dogs off the camping field towards the bottom of the drive and to bag and bin. We are also adjacent to Mortimer Forest with ample space for the longer exercise with marked walks if required.
2. With regards to the riding school, and wearing of riding hats, we are simply following appropriate health and safety measure in accordance with our licencing, British Horse Society membership and insurance guidelines.
3. We have very few rules, but the ones in place are for the benefit of all our guests.
However I am pleased to hear you had a good time and would stay again. If you can make yourself known to us on booking we will ensure you are positioned near to an exit gate for your dog walking convenience. |

What an amazing little last minute find. The site is a field within a riding stables, and only allow pitching around the edge o the field, allowing plenty of space for free time. The adjoining fields have the stables riding horses, which are gentle and friendly although the sie owners do not encourage you to touch them, and will not allow you to feed them. The site overlooks the town of ludlow, and the castle can just be seen from the field although there is a much better viewpoint just outside. Overall, this is a lovely little site, but could do with additional toilet facilities as there is only 1 unisex toilet, and 1 of each at the rear of the farm itself.
The only disappointment we had was completely out of their control, of a little inconvenient. (A burst pipe and loss of water meant we came home a day early)
Would highly recommend.

Enjoyed a night at this lovely campsite. The views over Ludlow are breathtaking. We liked the fact you are a short walk away from the town but it feels in the middle of nowhere. Warm welcome and the pitches beautifully kept. Basic facilities but not a problem at all, the views made up for this!

Overall, this is a great site. The location is near perfect - a lovely view of the town and countryside, and a short off-road walk into Ludlow by footpath.
The price was good value for us with a small van, 2 children and a dog. Pitches were around the edge of a large field with plenty of space for children to run around (well behaved of course!)
My only quibble might be the number of showers & toilets, which might have been in short supply had the site been full. As it wasn't, we had no problem! We were not charged a premium price, so we can't complain really.

A fantastic site with beautiful views and a friendly, helpful manager/owner. I was a little anxious when I read a couple of negative reviews on here. But, having stayed there two weeks ago, I think the reviewers must have gone to a different campsite!
If you want a pitch like a Wimbledon lawn, a shower block with piped music and a field devoid of life then there are places not too far from here that can provide that sort of synthetic experience for you while you adjust your aerial, tune in your TV and microwave your dinner.
This has a gently sloping field, with well made flat bits for pitches and not a drop of tarmac or gravel in sight. This provides a stunning view of Ludlow and Clee Hill beyond. It was good to see families enjoying themselves and children playing on the grass. We could hear laughter and the atmosphere was of gentle, good times.
The walk downhill to Ludlow takes 15 minutes and you then have the pleasure of what John Betjeman called the loveliest town in England. It has a great Castle, a fantastic range of restaurants and deli's, and a busy entertainment schedule, the highlights being the Ludlow Festival in the Summer, the Food Festival in September and a Christmas Festival. Plenty of real food and real ale places to go. This means a bit of an uphill walk back if you aren't driving (I wouldn't - the drink is too good and you will want more than one). People with walking problems or very young children might want to get a taxi. It's only a mile, so not too dear.
There is no shop, club or bar on the site. Why would you want any of these when within sight of the field you one of the best places in Britain for food and drink? Drink in the town, eat in the restaurants and cafes. Get out a bit.
There is good walking in the forest nearby and up on Clee Hill. The site is also a riding stables, so you have another option in the great outdoors.
This is a very reasonably priced site with great things on the doorstep.

Site near Ludlow town. Great walks. Showers and toilets clean and tidy. One negative no hand dryers or paper towels. Walk down into Ludlow fine but not suitable for under 5's very narrow woodland paths. Site is basic as stated, working stables. Price for camping was fair. Just one negative charges £5. 00 for an early arrival when clearly there was plenty of vacancies.
|
Management response: I recall your arrival being approximately 10:30, which is before our departure time of 11:00 and considerably earlier than our stated arrival time of 14:00. The charge of £5.00 (2 adults, EHU) is to cover the extra electricity and water usage incurred. The same charge applies for late departures but should be booked in advance as we cannot guarantee availability. The 3 hours between departure and new arrivals are used for cleaning, maintenance purposes and pitch management |

A lovely site in a cracking location. It is small and basic with limited facilities but this is not a problem for us and is reflected in the very reasonable pitch prices.
The pitches are all levelled out of a steep hill and it is quite a pull from the bottom of the field up to the showers. A fresh water tap at the bottom of the field would be a great addition to the site.
Yes there are only 3 toilets and 2 showers so - shock horror - you may have to queue at certain times! The facilities are basic, the building is unheated but they were entirely adequate, always clean and the water was always hot.
It is a lovely walk down through the woods to Ludlow Castle which only takes us 10 - 15 mins (we are young and fit) beware it is a long steep climb coming back up again.
The site is right on the edge of the Mortimer Forest which is gorgeous for walking and mountain biking. We also tried and really enjoyed the horse riding in the forest which is available from the stables on site.
We love it here but if you are the sort of camper who likes heated amenity blocks with daily fresh flowers and are scared of spiders then this probably isn't for you. Other much larger and in our opinion far less lovely sites are available in the area. Please go to them instead and leave us in peace to enjoy this beautiful site.
