Cartref Caravan and Camping – New Best Of British Holiday Park!

This year we are thrilled to welcome two new holiday parks to our Group. As a reminder, all sites are family/independently owned, are 5 star rated (achieving the highest gradings and percentages within the grading criteria) and are all completely unique! We are a not for profit group and our aim is to bring you a choice of independent parks who strive to make your holiday extra special. The Group is 30 years old and many of our members have been with us for decades. Here is the second new member park for 2023!

Cartref Caravan and Camping, Shropshire

Cartref has been a caravan and camping site since the 1970s and we’re pleased to say it’s open all year round! Having just changed to adult only, the park have made great strides in the facilities available on site. All pitches are fully serviced and there are privacy hedgerows throughout the site. Dogs are welcome and there is an enclosed dog exercise area.


The team have worked hard to continually develop the site and in 2023, they have decided to accommodate adults only. The site is peaceful and quiet, with a fantastic team that is always on hand to help out guests.  Whether that’s helping to put up a new awning or recommending the best walks and local attractions, they pride themselves on their customer service.

Situated in the beautiful Shropshire countryside, the park is just 5 miles from the historic town of Shrewsbury. This location provides the perfect base to explore Shropshire, the Welsh borders, and Chester. The picturesque Shropshire Hills are only 10 minutes away. Explore the towns of Ironbridge, Ludlow, and Ellesmere – all with unique shops and attractions.

‘Cartref’ translated from Welsh to English quite simply means ‘home’. Whilst here, the team hope you find it a relaxed home-from-home environment.​
