About Small Batch Campsite
Small Batch Campsite lies at the foot of the Long Mynd near Church Stretton, roughly fifteen miles south of Shrewsbury, and trades home comforts for one of the best walking locations in the county. The site sits within a National Trust valley, with the open heather moorland of the Long Mynd rising directly behind it, and paths leading straight from the pitches onto the Shropshire Way and the network of tracks across the hill.
Facilities are deliberately simple, reflecting the site's popularity with walkers and cyclists rather than touring caravans: basic toilet and shower provision, a small number of electric hookups, and tent pitches set on grass that can be soft after rain given the site's position on the hillside. There is no shop on site, so most visitors stock up in Church Stretton before arriving, a short drive or a longer walk down the valley.
Dogs are welcome, and the site works best for those prioritising access to serious walking country over creature comforts; it is not the place for young families wanting a playground and pool, but for hikers wanting to be on the Long Mynd at first light it is hard to beat. Given the distance from Shrewsbury itself, it suits visitors planning to split their trip between the town and the hills rather than day-tripping into Shrewsbury each day.
