Adults-only glamping site in Wem, Shropshire, with one luxury bell tent on the River Roden offering trout fishing and a wood-fired hot tub for two. ## About Stay by the River Stay by the River lives up to its name: this adults-only retreat sits directly on the banks of the River Roden in North Shropshire's lush countryside, where you can literally fish for trout from your pitch. The single luxury bell tent comes fully equipped with a kingsize bed, quality linen, log burner, and thoughtful extras like fresh flowers and slippers on the carpeted floor. A wooden cabin on the decking houses a composting toilet and hot shower, while outside you'll find a barbecue area and the real showpiece – a wood-fired hot tub for two. No children, no dogs, just birdsong and the gentle flow of the river. It's gloriously peaceful, though with just one pitch this is understandably one of Shropshire's hardest places to book. When you do fancy venturing beyond your riverside cocoon, the market town of Wem lies 10 minutes away for pubs and provisions, while Whitchurch (20 minutes) offers more dining options. ## Can I bring...? β›Ί Tent pitches βœ“ Yes 🚐 Caravans welcome βœ• No 🚌 Motorhomes welcome βœ• No ✨ Glamping available βœ“ Yes πŸ›– Lodges & statics βœ“ Yes ## Lodges & pods - πŸ›– Roden Retreat bell tent ## Facilities 🚿 Hot showers βœ“ πŸ“Ά Free WiFi βœ• 🏊 Swimming pool βœ• πŸ›’ Onsite shop βœ• 🎠 Children's play area βœ• πŸ– BBQs allowed βœ• πŸ”₯ Campfires allowed βœ• 🧺 Laundry βœ• 🎣 Fishing βœ• πŸ› Hot tub βœ• β™Ώ Accessible facilities βœ• πŸ…ΏοΈ Hardstanding pitches βœ• 🍽️ Bar/restaurant on site βœ• Fishing Hot tub Take away Car parking by pitch/unit Ice pack freezing Shower available Washing-up area Adults only Barbecue provided Barbecues allowed Campfires allowed No dogs allowed Luxury Peaceful Remote location Spectacular scenery ## Takeaway & food delivery Handy if you fancy a night off cooking β€” here's what delivers near this site. ### πŸ₯‘ Just Eat β€” 11 takeaways deliver to this postcode (SY4 5SB) The Munch Box β˜… 5.0 Β· Breakfast, Brunch The Spice House β˜… 5.0 Β· Indian, Asian The Taste of Punjab β˜… 5.0 Β· Indian, Asian Flaming Great β˜… 5.0 Β· Kebab, Burgers Ramna Balti β˜… 5.0 Β· Indian, Curry Checked 26 Aug 2026 β€” always confirm on [justeat.co.uk](https://www.just-eat.co.uk/) before ordering, as coverage can change. ## Nearest supermarkets Handy if you're self-catering or need to stock up on arrival. - Co-op, Shawbury 1.2 miles - Aldi, Shrewsbury 5.1 miles - Tesco, Shrewsbury 5.7 miles - Lidl, Shrewsbury 5.8 miles - Morrisons, Shrewsbury 6.4 miles - Asda, Shrewsbury 7.9 miles - Sainsbury's 9.1 miles Straight-line distances β€” the drive will be longer.
