Cranberry Moss Camping and Caravan Site, Oswestry, SY10 8DY
To Find Site:- Once past Shrewsbury continue on A5 towards
Oswestry. At end of dual carriageway take first left roundabout onto
B4396 signed for Knockin and campsite can be seen ahead on the left.
This campsite is situated just off the main A5 about between
Shrewsbury and Oswestry. It is not a large site having some 65 pitches
set out around gravelled access roads. There is a mix of hardstanding
and grass pitches, most having an open aspect. The site is open all year
and non-members are accepted. Electric points are convenient to the
pitches and are rated at 16amps and use CEE17 blue connectors. There is
one toilet block which is functional rather than luxurious. The building
also contains laundry and dishwash facilities and the chemical toilet
disposal point. Next to the toilet block is the motorhome service point.
It only has a small drain point but should be wide enough to use with
vans with wastes points on either side of the vehicle. Water and waste
water points are dotted around the site. Near to Reception is what is
called “The Barn” which is a multi-use building where events are held
and it also has a TV and sitting area, a useful place for tent campers
in wet weather. Reception sells a few essentials. Site wide WiFi is
available and free, it seems to offer a reasonable signal as well. There
is no on site play facilities for children so perhaps not as child
friendly as other sites. Pitches near the front of the site may suffer
from road noise but this is usually during the day time.
This site is conveniently place to visit both Oswestry and
Shrewsbury and also into North Wales. For those that don’t have, or
perhaps would prefer not to use their own transport there are a couple
of bus services from immediately outside the campsite. Both offer an
hourly service from Monday to Saturday. For shopping there are several
supermarkets in Oswestry including a Morrisons next to the bus station
and a Sainsburys. Oswestry is a nice town to wander around and when you
want a rest go down to Cae Glas Park for a sit in the park.
