About Shire Camping

Making up part of a 400 acre working farm, camping here is surrounded by lush green landscapes. There's lots of classic English countryside to get to know, from charming lanes to an excellent network of footpaths for keen walkers. It's easy to access with drive-in entry and the sunsets are fabulous, as the site is beside Sunrising Hill on the Edgehill escarpment, one which history buffs will recognise from its role as a battleground in the English Civil War. Grassed pitches are level and allow both barbecues and campfires (with supplies available to buy on site), so you can get a fire going of an evening and rustle up some grub. If you can't get the tent to fit in the boot or can't find the tent pegs, there's no need to worry here. Book yourself a pre-erected bell tent and you have the option to also hire a comfy airbed inside.

Shire Camping is open from 03/05 to 06/05 and 17/05 to 29/09.

Small Tent - Non Electric Grass Tent PitchesAug 2024

Me and my husband (just married) had a lovely stay here for a couple of nights with our dog Mia. Beautiful location with some nice walks and pubs nearby. We also enjoyed the fresh pizza that was being cooked on site on the Saturday. We were greeted by Harry who was very helpful and friendly. He was always about if we needed anything which was lovely. The facilities were okay, however we felt there could have been a few more toilets closer to the other end of the site. However will definitely recommend this site to others. Thank you for a fab minimoon. 🥰

Medium Tent - Non Electric Grass Tent PitchesAug 2024

Harry and his dad were very welcoming and happy to help in anyway possible! The campsite was clean and well maintained. Only thing I would say is there could be more showers and toilet facilities as when the camp site got busy there was long queues to use them! But other than that we really enjoyed our trip and will be going back. We were also lucky enough for the pizza guy to be there and these were delicious. Highly recommend staying here.

Nice chilled site in a lovely location

Large Tent - Non Electric Grass Tent PitchesJul 2024

Nice chilled campsite which accommodated families, couples and groups of friends with plenty of space and had a respectful, friendly atmosphere. Site was clean enough for walking barefoot everywhere and facilities were well maintained (extra points for the showers having shelf and hooks exactly where you need them). Pizzas were very welcome after arriving on Friday night and troughs with herbs were a really thoughtful touch. All in all, lovely site in a great location, and really well managed.
