Not sure what "Disapointing" review was expecting but fully serviced with free WiFi and hardstanding for £15 a night very peaceful, easy access to Much Wenlock with many Pubs and eating places and I have paid over £20 a night for much inferior CL's. I find sites that offer water connection but no drain connection no big advantage so I allways loff for sites that have both connections.
We spent 4 nights on the site in a windy May to explore a bit of Shrewsbury, the Roman Vineyard tour and Ludlow. Really enjoyed the area and will probably visit again.
OK the toilet emptying could be improved but I try not to spend too much time in that area.
I wish all sites had the same facilities as most Caravan Club sites do not have the same access to water & drain access for much higher fees.
The young lady that runs the site is very charming nothing too much trouble.
Disappointing
Been looking forward to revisiting this part of the country but the last part of the journey towards Hughley certainly isn’t for the faint hearted. Very narrow roads and once committed you just hope that there isn’t a tractor, lorry or speeding car coming the other way as very few passing places. Having reached the CL the first impressions are disappointing. Rusty sign and my little dog was nearly lost the grass was so long. Hardstanding pitches of sorts but very uneven, large stones and so many weeds. Local road is a rat run and cars speeding past are unnerving plus dogs were constantly barking in the distance all day every day, almost as though there were some local kennels? Everything just looked unloved. The Elsan(??) isn’t great either, no cover and the hose pipe supplied is barely a trickle. Granted the price is reasonable and you have water plus grey waste at each pitch but the drainage of the grey waste is soooo slow as it’s above land so wrong angle therefore back drain when having a shower! It could be so much better but it’s like they’ve lost interest. Nonetheless the lady owner was very friendly. Shame but not one we’d return to.
Lovely Site, very Quiet & Peaceful
Just spent two night here, its a lovely site, all pitches are hardstanding and are fully serviced, there was even wifi which was a great help as my phone didn't get very good signal at all. The owners are very friendly and welcoming, they gave some really good recommendations of things to see and nice places to eat, We would definitely recommend this site, especially if you want to relax and get some peace and quiet, all you can hear is the birds singing, the odd horse whinnying and the odd car passing by, you feel in the middle of nowhere but your only about 20-25 mins away from large towns and places of interest. We will definitely be back.
Quite and peaceful
Just returned from a 7 night stay at this quiet and peaceful location with easy access to many places of interest and good walks. The pitches are a good size and fully serviced including a good free wifi which was useful as mobile reception is not great. The owner Chia was always available but did not impose herself on you. We will definitely be returning to this site
Quiet site with hardstanding
I struggled to find this site, 1 due to satnav error and 1 due to lack of camc sign on the gate (3 point turn with caravan in a country lane is not fun 😲).
Once here, individual serviced pitches, hard standing with grass, and chemical and waste disposal in the corner of the field. I was the only one, so spread myself out 👍😁.
No real 'dog walk' that I could find other than walking along the road into the tiny nice village (nice church, no pub or village shop), but i did not explore further due to ankle injury. Road is quiet and popular with cyclists and horse riders.
Owner was very friendly and checked in to make sure I was ok and if there was anything I needed.
I'm surprised this site is not more popular considering the number of commercial sites in the village.
So tranquil
We have just spent 4 peaceful nights here at Parkers Patch. The site is easy to access and the fully serviced pitches are well maintained. Only 1 other pitch was occupied so all we could hear were the birds, the occasional horses and a passing car every now and again, a very restful place. A friendly drop in by the owner on day 2 giving us the WiFi code (which was great) but other than that we were left to our own devices. I would definitely NOT take the B4378 as directed but use the B4371 so that you approach with the turning onto the road to Hughley on your right, otherwise you approach from the wrong direction and will need to negotiate a hairpin to get onto it. Would love to return here, had a lovely time.

Lovely peaceful site with great views.
1st time we have stayed on a CL site. what lovely owners nothing was to much trouble. We were very unlucky with the weather as it rained every day but it did not spoil our break. Great views from all the pitches. Will be back again and I am sure things will only get better with this site.

Peace ad quiet
A fantastic 4 day break after 18 months of lock down. this was the perfect spot to make our first trip of the season, A friendly welcome and everything as advertised,even a courtesy call the next day. If you want a convenient site for North Shropshire, then this is the spot
A large site with friendly owners
We have just returned from 2 weeks at Parkers Patch. Very mixed weather with a lot of rain the second week and fortunately the site dries out quickly. The Shropshire Hills are beautiful and there is lots of walking and cycling. The owners are very friendly and came round regularly to check everything was okay. Due to the rain Mr Richardson wasn't able to cut the grass while we were there so it was rather long by the end of our stay. If towing a caravan I would NOT advise following the directions given in the book if coming from Much Wenlock as there is a 180 degree turn onto the Hughley Road from the B4378. Much better to take the B4371 as one then approaches the junction in the right direction. We have a twin axle 'van and fortunately we had followed our satnav for caravans and taken the B4378, we would have got completely stuck across the road otherwise. This is why I've only given it 4 stars for 'ease of arrival'.
Perfect Patch
Great Cl large well looked after flat pitches. Approach road bit narrow in places and phone signal not good that aside very quiet and peaceful stayed a week could of stayed longer. Roads ok for dog walks etc Very good value 😀👍
