Camping & Touring
The West Mid showground Campsite
We are a family-friendly Shropshire site less than 15 minutes walk from Shrewsbury town centre, where tourist sites and shopping are within easy reach.
We offer on-site wash, toilet and shower facilities and electric options as well as plenty of green space for children and dogs to exercise on - while being large enough to offer you secluded spots if you are looking for a more tranquil stay.

British naturalist Charles Darwin, credited for the theory of natural selection, was born in Shrewsbury and his birth home can be seen from the campsite!
Why stay with us?
We are extremely proud of both our huge grounds within the River Severn loop and the wonderful and historic town that is our home.
Shrewsbury has an abundance of striking timber-framed buildings, many of which house some of the best independent shops in the country, winding shuts leading to wonderful eateries and cafes, a red sandstone castle and a beautiful Quarry Park with its landscaped sunken garden - The Dingle.
Whether you stay on site for games and relaxation or head out into Shrewsbury with a boat ride and a visit to the castle and museums we know you will not regret paying us a visit!
New for 2022 is the opportunity to book canoe, kayak and paddleboard sessions directly from the showground - contact Drummond Outdoor for more information.
