Hamperley Hideaways

Absolutely awesome little getaway for me! I've had so much fun so far and I have one more night to stay before heading back home again 😌 Summary of why I enjoy this spot: 🏕️ Amazing peaceful setting and great views for sunsets, mornings, all times really! 🗺️ Great selection of local footpaths/bridleways, close to the Long Mynd! 🛹 Surprisingly great area for long-boarding, easy to get to local towns!* Overall awesome off-grid place to stay and I feel refreshed already! Come here with an open and relaxed mind and you will do well ✌️ *be super careful on the hills!

Hamperley Hideaways will always be a special place for us - we first visited as a couple in early 2021 and we've been back each year since. Most recently as a growing family! The pitch locations are all stunning, with views of the Shropshire hills and rolling countryside. Unlike most campsites, the next pitch is far enough away to be out of ear and eye shot, so we always feel a great sense of peace as soon as we set up camp. Ryan - the chap running the place - and his father have always been helpful if we need it. And the one time we had a (completely unconnected to Hamperley!) emergency with our newborn, they really couldn't do enough to help us out. I couldn't recommend this place more, and can't wait for our next stay. Just take a look at the pics!

Not as seamless as hoped. Booked a private pitch in February only to have another family use it. Organiser was not on site to help or remedy anything, just left his parents to direct us to another field without a toilet or to use the forest pitch the other family had booked. I expect that the forest pitch was not big enough for the size tent they had. We used the field as there wasn't enough space for two tents and we didn't want tree sap on them. But we checked out the forest pitch as it was the only toilet we had to safely use. It was a good, flat enough field with a fire pit and bench nearby. The forest pitch is very pretty and sheltered from the wind, with fairy lights up at night, a good fire pit and bench set up. There didn't seem to be enough flat, dry space for anything larger than a 2-man tent though. The downside is that access is very steep to that pitch. Instead of the private, close toilet we had ordered and paid for, we had to walk down then up a steep hill to the forest pitch. Not ideal at 4am. In addition, the toilets had massive windows in the door to there was no privacy at all, particularly when it's at seat height. It was difficult to get on and off the toilet without flashing out of the window. Not entirely the experience we had booked.

Arriving at Hamperley Hideaways we knew we'd found something special. Ryan on the phone was so great helping us find our pitch and when we walked out we couldn't believe it. The explorers pitch is a few minutes walk from anyone else, at the end of two beautiful fields. In June they were filled with buttercups and red clover, butterflies and bees. We had a picnic bench, a small wooden stand (great for washing dishes and cooking), and a firepit with logs to sit on. We had our own compost loo which was clean and no smell (some campervan users were sharing it with us. I didn't mind but did think we got our private one so if this is important to you!). We pitched up in the shade of massive oak trees and settled into bliss. There are great walks within easy reach (there was even a gate at the bottom of our field onto a tiny country road, with a walking path a few minutes walk away) and the Green Dragon pub (8 minutes drive) is heaven. But really? We just sat and enjoyed the perfect location in blissful solitude. We saw almost nobody else and lazed in the stunning view. We saw owls, rabbits, red kites, and lots of other wildlife. Bring binoculars! The main thing would be more signage. We had to call to find our pitch and honestly Im not sure if we were using the right water as there were no signs at all. Also the water we found was by the parking and good walk away so bring what you can. You can borrow a wheelbarrow but he let us drive to our pitch which I appreciated. Either pack light or ask about driving as it's quite a trek! Overall, go go go! A holiday for peace and quiet, low impact living, and beautiful nature.
