Foxholes Camp Site

An eco-minded South Shropshire Hills campsite where converted railway carriages and big AONB views earn their keep, a 10-minute walk from the market town of Bishops Castle.

Foxholes sits in a valley on the edge of the South Shropshire Hills, with open views across the Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty that give the site most of its character. There are multiple fields to choose from, so pitches rarely feel crowded, and the scale stays genuinely campsite-sized.

The site runs on green principles: solar panels and photovoltaics power the operation, rainwater is harvested for the toilet block, and recycling is properly organised. The converted railway carriage cabins are the headline accommodation: three of them, sitting alongside two wood cabins, making Foxholes a real option for anyone who wants a roof over their head without sacrificing the campsite feel. Tent, caravan, and motorhome pitches coexist without any one type dominating.

Bishops Castle is walkable in 10 minutes via the Shropshire Way Footpath, which threads down through a field and into town: an unusual convenience for a rural campsite. The town itself rewards the walk, with independent shops and a genuine character. Owners are on hand, the site is kept clean, and the whole operation has a quietly laid-back tempo that repeat visitors clearly appreciate.
