Thistleford Camping

Shrewsbury, Wrekin, England

Thistleford Camping is a family-orientated campsite near the hamlet of Aston in rural Shropshire. Set on the edge of a farm, this site is great for families looking to introduce kids to the great outdoors and those looking to unwind in an all-natural setting. The site is divided into a handful of dells that are strung along the riverbank, with part of a small woodland also included. Guests are welcome to bring their own canoes and get out exploring on the water. Fishing is also allowed too, but please release whatever you catch after snapping a photo or two. Thistleford Camping is in a peaceful location with very little light pollution, so on clear nights some amazing star-filled skies are visible here. (That also means it can get very dark, so a torch should be high on your packing list). The main field is very spacious, with plenty of room for a game of cricket or rounders. Away from the pitches, there is a circular walk that takes you along the edge of the forest to Woods End, an excellent spot for a picnic. Campfires and barbecues are allowed if raised off the ground. Firewood is sold on site and special burners are available to hire if you're looking to keep large groups warm on chilly evenings. For food supplies and places to eat out, look to Wem, a small spot 10 minutes' drive away.
