About the site


Providing an idyllic stop off in quiet Shropshire countryside, this traditional and family run farm is home to eight hardstanding touring pitches. First established by their grandparents, the family have been Frodesley farmers for more than 120 years. Stop off to admire the dark skies here and finish the day sitting under the stars from your pitch. The touring pitches cater to campervans, caravans and motorhomes. Each provides plenty of space, measuring 7m x 5m with 16 amp electric. A well behaved dog is welcome, provided they are kept on a lead.

The Shepherd's Loft is open from 01/01 to 05/05 and 09/05 to 30/11.

VW-Type Campervan - Electric Hardstanding Touring PitchesSep 2024

We had a lovely stay in our VW camper. The site was so quiet and peaceful. We had a walk around the farm site which was lovely. The toilet/shower, and sink facilities were everything we needed for our stay and so nice that they're so close to the pitches. The jam and eggs we bought from the little honesty box area were lovely. A bargain of a stay, we will definitely be back now we know about this site.

Nice, quiet, small site

Sprinter-Type Campervan - Electric Hardstanding Touring PitchesAug 2024

Beautiful spot. Enjoyed the Long Mynd walks and idyllic surrounding villages of Church Stretton and Much Wenlock. Lots to do and see. The farm sold fresh eggs and there were two gorgeous donkeys. A few nice walks to go with the dog on the campsite.

VW-Type Campervan - Electric Hardstanding Touring PitchesAug 2024

There were right pitches with only one shower and one toilet which was in one cubicle. When I was there we were mostly campervans without toilets and showers on board, luckily there were only four. I think if it was busier it would have been awkward with more people requiring showers and the loo, and both shower and toilet being in the one cubicle. Apart from that I thought it was a very nice campsite.
