About Moss Lane Cottage Camping

A small and laid-back campsite near the picturesque village of Hanmer, home to the large Mere (lake) for open water swimming. It's ideally located on the Welsh border in the Shropshire countryside, just a 15 minute drive to several towns such as Whitchurch and Ellesmere. Spread over two and a half acres, the site has two secluded fields for camping and touring with simple facilities, including a communal building with a fridge. Don't forget your torch, as much of the site is unlit. The top field has three grass pitches with electric hook up, while the bottom has eight spacious grass pitches. Both are suitable for tents, trailer tents and campervans. Looking to spend time with all the family? Larger families are welcome to pitch up together on the camping field. Pets are welcome.

The site is open for weekends only between 24th May and 21st September.
