 Absolutely loved this hidden gem of a campsite - in the forest above ludlow. The campsite is about 10 mins drive from the centre of the town - so not walkable for a meal - but why you would want to is completely beyond me anyway! Its a working farm, so you have to drive up through a field of sheep - ( we had a minor incident with one escaping whilst we had the gate open - but it was good fun to do my sheepdog impression to return her to the fold!).
There are a number of fields - some slightly slopey - but plenty of room to find a flat pitch, and plenty of hookups available. Firebowls are available to hire - and its lovely to look across the campsite at lots of little campfires. The views are spectacular - down the valley towards Hay on Wye, or across to the forest - its not an Area of outstanding natural beauty for nothing!
The washrooms have recently been done, and are fab - clean and modern with plenty of free, unlimited hot showers. The washing up area needs a bit of TLC, but there is a sign saying that this is being planned so should be even better soon.
Ludlow is a lovely little town, if you do want to get out and about, and the forest has walking and MTB trails. A great base for a weekend break or a full week. WE'll definitely be back

Firstly this is a brilliant campsite. Large fields so no need to be next to anyone. Fire pits are a really nice touch I think and plenty of electric hook-ups for those that want them (we don't but thought I should mention it). Views on a night were amazing and the only sound is the sheep and cows.
New toilet/shower facilities are very nice. The only criticism would be the water pressure is not great at times - there were very few people at the site when we were there so this may need to be looked at for when the campsite is full.
I would certainly stay at this campsite over and again it is a wonderful spot - peaceful and relaxing. The owners did come around and speak to us one of the nights and were very nice. A really great site.

Fantastically peaceful, beautifully located campsite. We stayed here for a week; the only sound was sheep and birds. Surrounded by Mortimer forest, it was away from the main road so no traffic noise at all. 3 Large fields (so no crowding issues) with hook ups if needed.
Brand new toilet and shower block - 4 toilets and two showers in each, which were free and hot and spotlessly clean.
Owners very pleasant with offers of help if needed.
Excellent value for money, £12. 00 a night for two of us (We didn't need hook up).
Would definitely recommend for those wanting to get away from it all and who love the peace and quiet.
Having read the previous comments about the washing facilities, this issue certainly has now been addressed.

A wonderful visit again to monstay with our young family and friends. The site is high in the Shropshire hills, stunning views and the opportunity for our boys to have some freedom. Great woods to explore, campfires and family fun. The site is on a working farm and the owners welcome you warmly. New shower block and toilets coming in 2015 will make what is already a fantastic site even better.

This site is spectacularly situated above a wooded valley in the Mortimer Forest. There are walks/rides/runs from the door and fantastic views into Wales.
There are now 4 hard standings with hook-ups and another 10 hookups across the field, which is approached by a gravel track. The hard standings are level and have good views. The rest of the site is fairly sloping.
The facilities are pretty basic, but the shower was hot and had good pressure when I used it. There are plans to update the facilities and move them into one of the barns at some point in the future.
Owners are lovely and have eggs for sale. Ludlow is a short drive away, but otherwise you're in splendid isolation.

Very friendly welcome, didn't pitch my tent at first as I know from experience how pedantic some campsite owners are-but these aren't! I camped out for one night with my two children and they loved it. There was loads of space for them to play in the fields. The pitches were flat and the setting simply amazing. You can do forest walks from across the road from the campsite entrance. The facilities were basic but very clean. The best bits were the peace and quiet, space, fresh farm eggs and, of course, the campfire! Will definitely visit again.

We stayed here recently and I have to say I was disappointed with the condition of the site. We went with friends who had stayed before around two years ago and to find that the toilet and shower facilities had not improved in that time was sad to say the least. The toilets are typical of the wooden stand-alone huts you see in western films with an old sink stuck to a post outside but without any hot water to wash your hands. The shower? well that defies description. Cold, slow and basic is about as close as I can get to being accurate. The most frustrating part is this site has tons of potential if only it had a little money spent and someone who was interested in improving it. The views are spectacular and location is suited to walkers and bikers with forest tracks aplenty. The track into the field was akin to a building site, muddy, potted and wet. Our friends said that when they last visited they were told the contractors were due that day to resurface the track. Needless to say it hasn't been done. One word of warning, if you are thinking of booking a taxi into Ludlow then beware as we were given waiting times of between two and a half and five hours for a taxi. I can offer no reason for this as it was a quiet weekend. Taking everything into account I will not be staying here again.

Our third visit to Ludlow and third time staying at this lovely friendly site. As always there was a friendly welcome from them and as we didn't want an electric hook-up we were turned loose to choose our own spot. We settled for the middle field, which is gently sloping but so long as you choose your space carefully it's possible to set up on level ground.
Facilities are basic - 2 toilets, 1 shower, and as the site was busy there was also the use of the additional shower-room in the farmhouse. We know from previous visits that showering at night is the answer to beating the queues in the morning! The only hot water is in the shower itself - so for washing up you need to boil a kettle which is no great hardship. There is also a freezer available for your icepacks. They sell freshly laid eggs at the farmhouse too ready for delicious breakfasts!
Prices are incredibly reasonable - £6 per adult per night for tents without electric.
Even though they were busy, there was plenty of space and it didn't feel at all cramped - and as others have said the views are just stunning!
This is a site which is a true pleasure to return to, and we undoubtedly shall.

Singularly unimpressed by the extent and condition of the facilities - hot water only from shower - toilet 'block' rustic verging on primitive and the few hook ups were hard to find in the undergrowth.
The site is spectacularly situated with gorgeous views, but finding a part of the field that was level enough [even with the use of wedges] for comfort and still gave a bonnie view defeated us.
I note the favourable views, almost all from campers, but clearly see this site in a different light. Have nothing against 'simple' sites and hope to be fair in what I write, but we were so disappointed here, that despite having paid up front, we sat around an hour or so and eventually just left - the only time we have ever done so. For us this was Nonstay rather than Monstay farm.

Beautiful isolated location with fantastic views on a working farm. £6 for adults and £2 for children. We arrived in the rain but site appears well drained except the gateways which got a bit slippery. The farmer was happy to tow out any vehicles that got stuck with his tractor.
The farmer hires out fire baskets and sells firewood. Due to the wet weather he opened the end of his barn for somewhere to sit and cook in the dry. The facilities are basic but clean. Only 2 toilets and one shower I could see, so I suspect these might get busy if the camp was full.
The owner is very friendly and relaxed which creates a very peaceful atmosphere on the site. If all you need is a space to pitch a tent in some beautiful countryside with a toilet and water then this site can't be faulted. The children enjoyed the horses, lambs, chickens, turkey and dogs in the farm yard.
