What we thought
Round 10 minutes drive away from the fantastic Carding Mill Valley, this campsite is a haven for fishing, with a wide range of well-stocked fishing lakes, and because the title of this campsite suggests, you may certainly camp virtually proper beside your chosen fishing spot.
We spent 4 days at Church Stretton Camp & Fish, and while it was comparatively quiet because of the time of yr, the lakes have been widespread and people fishing in addition to the opposite campers, have been among the many most pleasant people we’ve ever come throughout.
The identical could be stated for the stunning workforce who handle this family-run website and we felt extraordinarily welcome and relaxed your complete time we have been there.
Location sensible, the campsite presents the proper mix of rural seclusion and pure magnificence, while offering a mess issues to do inside a half hour drive away.
We had many grand plans for days out, together with strolling and visiting Iron Bridge, however the climate was so good and we felt so completely relaxed on the website that I’ve to admit, we did little or no!
We did enterprise out to spend someday in Ludlow the place we loved meandering across the quaint city and stopped for a chunk to eat. On one other day we tore ourselves away from a full-schedule of enjoyable to enter Church Stretton. One other pretty little city with some fabulous locations to eat together with Berry’s, a tea room with arms down the perfect scones we’ve ever tasted.
The decision
For anybody that fishes, then this campsite is a no brainer and an absolute should. However don’t really feel like you have to fish to like this campsite.
The woodland which offers secluded pitches with a wild tenting really feel, lakside pitches with stunning views of each the lakes and woods and the large tenting meadow means there are tenting pitches to swimsuit each style.
If you wish to camp within the woods, you’ll want to hold your tenting gear to your pitch and the identical goes for these eager to camp proper beside the lake like we did, so if you wish to park subsequent to your tent, a meadow pitch could possibly be the higher possibility.
In addition to the fishing lakes, there’s additionally a ‘swimming gap’ on website. Someplace in between the scale of a big pond and a small lake, regardless of being a lover of out of doors swimming, I used to be recovering from an operation throughout my keep and was unable to swim – a terrific excuse for me to return although!
We liked that you can simply seize a firepit and beneficiant packing containers of fireplace wooden and kindling could be bought for a really cheap £5, and barbecues stored off the bottom are additionally allowed at this website.
One factor I’ll level out is that there are not any pitches with electrical hookups on website because it stands and it’s a website that’s undoubtedly on the off-grid and rustic facet of issues. Although the services have been at all times clear, don’t anticipate something too fancy, convey a torch and bathroom roll with you, and luxuriate in really getting again to nature at this gorgeous campsite.
We liked wandering across the woods and simply chilling beside the lake studying and speaking and it’s a campsite we totally advocate and we’ll undoubtedly return to.
