We are just coming to the end of our 5 night stay at Cartref Caravan and Camping site on the outskirt of Shrewsbury.
First of all the owners are very welcoming, once checked in they walk with you to your pitch, ready to help you setup if you wish.
The pitch itself is generous, on gravel and enough room to park you car too. Don't forget your hardstanding pegs for your awning.
The hedgerows and lawns are perfectly trimmed and kept.
Shower blocks are more than adequate and very clean with lovely hot showers.
The kids have a good little park with a couple of swings, and a field to play ball.
There is an adults only area, which we didn't go into but I can only imagine that it is as good as the family side.
There is a quirky converted shed that's now a bar, selling locally produced bottled alcohol/drink, board games etc.
You can also buy fresh bread, milk etc from the reception area.
You can also buy amazing scones, jam and clotted cream which you can have at your tent/van!
The site is only a 5 minute drive into Shrewsbury.
All in all, a very well maintained, friendly site which we will be returning to and most definitely recommend to others.

We were fortunate to have wonderful weather for our three day stay at this excellent campsite which is always a bonus! We travelled as a family and had neighbouring pitches for our 2 camper vans. The grounds are really well kept and attractive. The toilet block is well lit, warm and very clean. The arrangements of toilet cubicles, showers, two curtained sink areas and a separate hand wash basin are carefully thought out to maximise good hygiene standards. The reception area / shop sells a small but quality range of local produce and exceptionally good ice-cream in tubs or cornets. The owners and management are hard working, efficient, professional and welcoming. I shall say no more about this lovely site except that I hope to return very soon!

Stayed here for the first time in the adult area and it was nice and peaceful, nice clean facilities. The staff, Dave and Hilda were very welcoming, and a good barman too in the on site bar. The location was good for visiting Shrewsbury and surrounding Shropshire or mid-Wales. Will be definitely going back.

We stayed here for 3 nights on our way to Wales and found it very comfortable. The welcome we had was really warm and friendly. The site is very well maintained.. we had a problem getting pegs in the hard standing plot and on a tip from the staff we scoured the 2 local Aldi couldn't find any screw in pegs. When we left the site we mentioned it and were given a set for future use. The facilities are really clean. We find that sites like this that have regular seasonal pitches first time users can feel a little out of it.
Would definitely recommend as adult only area is particularly good.

We now stock rock pegs in our little site shop just incase any future visitors require them.
We look forward to welcoming you back to Cartref in the future.

We were fairly new to family camping and the day we arrived it was raining hard. We were made to feel so welcome by the very friendly owners and we were offered a hand with our tent if we needed it. If we had and questions at all, we only had to nip to the reception and were greeted warmly and had our questions happily answered and received any help we needed. The campsite is in a lovely location and is so clean and tidy. The toilets/showers were kept immaculate and the little play area was a hit with our son. We have booked to stay here again for another 2 camping trips through the year.
