Does anyone know of either a sleepy spot or a very basic, quiet campsite in the Shropshire area. Preferably with immediate access to nice walks - I've googled a few sites but they all seem 'cut grass and rows of caravans' which isn't quite us.

When I was helping the 6th formers last July on their Duke of Edinburgh we used a campsite in Little Stretton

Church Stretton site is nice and comes complete with swallows nests in the toilets too at this time of year. There is a nice walk out the far end of the site up onto the moors

moors.. where?

Moors may not be the technical name. They probably refer to it as the Long Mynd

I was at Small Batch last weekend, in a tent unfortunately as the camper van is a way off being finished. Very nice site, was rammed with kids when we got there on Friday so it was a bit noisy but fine on Saturday and Sunday. Lots of walks from there, the pub's good and there's a good curry house in Church Stretton which is couple of miles away. In fact there's 2 curry houses but I wasn't allowed to try both!

We stayed at a little site just outside Much Wenlock in 2008. It was walking distance to the village and nice and quiet. Average price if I remember right. Can't see any tarif info on their website. Beautiful part of the world. http://sytchecaravanandcamping.co.uk/
