Where you'd be staying
All of this is from a level hardstanding pitch on the bank of the Severn, with nine fishing platforms of our own and an enclosed field for the dog. Just passing? A one-night stopover is welcome. See which nights are free.
Into Bridgnorth by bus
Useful if you're in a motorhome or campervan and would rather leave it on the pitch, or if you'd sooner not drive at all. The 297 Bus stops on the A442 right by us: catch it from the stop on our side of the road for Low Town, the Severn Valley Railway and High Town.
Coming back, take a bus signed for Kidderminster from High Town or Low Town and get off at the stop across the road from us. Times vary by day and on school days, so check before you set off.
On timetables and apps the two stops are called Quatford, adj Caravan Site and Quatford, opp Caravan Site. They are named after a neighbouring park rather than ours, so watch for the A442 and the river rather than the name.
