Relaxing and Tranquil
Valais Caravan Park
This CL is excellent for anyone seeking somewhere to relax in beautiful surroundings with lots of walking nearby. There are many old villages and small towns in this peaceful part of South Shropshire that are well worth exploring. We telephoned ahead to inform the owners of our expected arrival time and were met at the entrance gate by Bruce. He explained the site layout and provide a very useful welome pack with information about the local area. The pitches are neatly mown and well drained (a long spell of heavy rain one night followed by regualr showers did not cause any problems) Electricity and water is supplied direct to each pitch and waste water disposal was convenient. Two friendly horses and three lovely sheep were in adjoining enclosures; they did not disturb us in any way. Bruce and Anne made us most welcome throughout our stay and were able to supply some fresh produce such as eggs. This site will be my first choice when I return to the area. Highly recommended.

An Excellent site for so many Reasons
Valais Caravan Park
Having moved from a Caravan to a motorhome, we joined the CAMC as we were trying to locate a site in this part of Shropshire to start our tour and this turned out to be an excellent decision - this site was perfect for us. Peaceful; surrounded by stunning scenery, great walking opportunities, including the Shropshire Way, and a warm welcome at the gate by the owner when we arrived.
We loved the way the pitches were 'mowed' into the meadow grass, creating a sense of being nicely separated from other units but this sense of space was also emphasised by the size of the field.
It was a nice touch to have the sheep and goats grazing in their own paddocks either side of the entrance.
A wonderful rural retreat, There is still more walking we want to do here so now we have this site on a go-to list.
First time and will not be our last
Valais Caravan Park
I can only echo what others have said. A quick text to the owners when 30 mins away to be met by Bruce at the pre opened gates with welcome pack in hand. Lots of good advice, especially regarding walking into Bishops Castle via a green lane and footpath which brings you out pretty much in the town centre and completely avoids the main road. After the 'meet and greet' we were left alone to enjoy the peaceful surroundings. One little tip, the left off the main road in Colebatch is not best signed and could be easy to miss as the post code is a general one for the area, I meant to get a what 3 words location for the gate to the site, maybe Bruce and can sort one out sometime. Many thanks again, will defo be back!

Bruce and Anne run a lovely well kept site surrounded by sheep, wonderful country side and interesting places.
Eggs for sale at the gate, were excellent, pitches were flat'ish, easy to level a motor home.
We will be back.
