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 nearly proper beside your chosen fishing spot.
We spent 4 days at Church Stretton Camp & Fish, and while it was comparatively quiet as a result of time of yr, the lakes have been common and people fishing in addition to the opposite campers, have been among the many most pleasant folks we’ve ever come throughout.
The identical might be stated for the beautiful workforce who deal with this family-run web site and we felt extraordinarily welcome and relaxed your complete time we have been there.
Location smart, the campsite provides the right 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 excellent and we felt so completely relaxed on the web site 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 chew 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 fingers down the very best 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 that you must fish to like this campsite.
The woodland which supplies 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 desirous to camp proper beside the lake like we did, so if you wish to park subsequent to your tent, a meadow pitch may very well be the higher choice.
In addition to the fishing lakes, there’s additionally a ‘swimming gap’ on web site. 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 – an awesome excuse for me to return although!
We beloved that you would simply seize a firepit and beneficiant packing containers of fireside wooden and kindling might be bought for a really cheap £5, and barbecues saved off the bottom are additionally allowed at this web site.
One factor I’ll level out is that there are not any pitches with electrical hookups on web site because it stands and it’s a web site that’s undoubtedly on the off-grid and rustic facet of issues. Although the amenities have been at all times clear, don’t count on something too fancy, carry a torch and toilet roll with you, and revel in actually getting again to nature at this beautiful campsite.
We beloved wandering across the woods and simply chilling beside the lake studying and speaking and it’s a campsite we completely advocate and we’ll undoubtedly return to.
