    Great park up £6.40 a day. Free from 6pm-8am and Sundays and Bank Holidays. Two minutes walk from town. Always a few motorhomes parked up so feels safe. Lovely town nice places to eat out. Right by Severn Theatre.

    Had a cracking weekend here. Bargain and parking free on Sundays. Felt very safe. 5mins walk over bridge into town.

  • 5/5

    Absolutely brilliant. Very safe and such a beautiful place!

  • 5/5

    Good,quiet stop. Daytime charge now 80p/hour with max £6.40. Check if car park likely to close by searching "River Severn level at Welsh Bridge".

    We stayed here in our 7.2 m with our children on a Friday night. We needed two tickets as we couldn’t fit in one bay. Felt safe. Some noise from the nearby road but that’s the trade off if you want to be central.

  • 5/5

    Nice big car park with larger spaces around the sides. nice and quiet and felt safe. few other campers around. £6.40 for ten hours however that doesn't include any times between 6pm-8am. we arrived 8pm and paid for the 6.40 and ticket was valid until 6pm the next day which was great. just keep an eye out for flooding. just ensure your are only parked in 1 space as can be charged for 2.

    Stayed one night, quiet overnight and felt very safe. So convenient for the town centre, will certainly stay here again.

  • 4/5

    Decent car park for overnight stay, bigger spaces along the edge so great for campers. Bins on site & short walk to town centre.

  • 5/5

    Big car park close to the city centre. Stayed over one night and came to £6.40 for 24hours. There is loads of space to park up and it’s just a short walk across the bridge and you are at the centre, ideal for a night out like I did with the Mrs. Quiet enough too.

  • 5/5

    good spot to overnight and visit the town. A little noise in the early evening with trial bikers practicing wheelies. There were probably eight or nine vans when we stayed.

    Second time in this big carpark plenty of spaces. handy for town and river walks. fabulous Indian restaurant 100 mts away ( third place) we got a takeaway back to van

    Stayed here one night after reading reviews. Note slight price increase. Parked in corner near to cricket ground and was able to exercise the dog away from the pitch. Very peaceful night and no bother. Lots of vans and motorhomes but plenty of room. Short walk into Town centre. Quarry Park worth a visit on what was warm summer evening.

  • 5/5

    Large car park, lots of space very close to the river and town centre. We stayed for just one night, it was really quiet and free on the bank holiday.

  • 5/5

    Quiet night, 5 minute walk into Shrewsbury and found nice 40 minute tarmac walk along bank of Severn for dogs. Three other vans stayed night and I bought ticket in evening to cover me for next day rather than having to get up before 8am when charging kicked in. There is a 24/7 launderette on other side of town too which is alway handy.

  • 5/5

    Brilliant stop. Huge car park, plenty of space including longer spaces along the back. Short walk in to the city centre, plenty of places to eat & drink. Free after 6pm and on Sundays, apart from the odd occasion where cars drive around & play music, all is quiet overnight.

    Collected camper on Monday and had to visit Shrewsbury for a Xmas doo on Wednesday so ideal chance to test it out. Three other camper vans already there when I arrived. CCTV and lighting on site. No issues overnight and little noise from nearby roads either

    Great park up and free between 18.00 - 08.00.We stayed here for 2 nights and will definitely be returning soon.Just over the footbridge takes you to bars/restaurants.Would be a lovely stopover in the summer too

  • 5/5

    at last a motorhome friendly Council , parked here for 2 nights, very safe ,cameras over car Park area and good lighting. short walk to shops and cafes etc , 2nd night a few cars turned up and played loud music but left after 1hr. make sure you lock up van as town seems to have a few rough sleepers, etc but we had no problems..

  • 5/5

    A quiet, hazzle free car park. Cost 1.40 for overnight and few hours in the morning. Short walk from the footbridge to town. Had a few youngsters driving around being silly at night, but didn't bother us at all. Would definitely come again. Don't follow the sat nav when you get into town, it will take you down a very narrow road to a dead end.

  • 4/5

    Big car park. Easy to find a spot. Playground right next to it, BUT some gym group meets there in the morning on Friday lifting weights and playing music, so be prepared for the night to be over shortly after 6. Also people like to meet in the park in the evening behind the playground so best park furthest away possible from the playground.

    guter Ausgangspunkt um die Stadt zu besichtigen. teuer ist er auch nicht, wir zahlten 70 pence die Stunde. es gibt sehr viele Parkplätze. die Stadt ist schön zu besichtigen.

  • 4/5

    Cryptic sign there says; 'Motorhomes allowed, however daily charges applies' I read (perhaps wrongly?) that it's free for cars after 6pm, but campers pay the day rate at any time? So £5.20 per night (& £10.40 if you overlap a bay). Seems fair to chip-in for its position, but if fined, perhaps arguable that the wording is too opaque? Nice theatre next door with choice of 2 stages.

    Great find! Arrived 7.30pm, and parked at the far bottom corner out of the way. Bought a ticket for 3 hours (£2.10) which gave us a lie in on the morning. Surprisingly quiet night, and no noise early on the monday morning either. Would definitely recommend. Nice to see a litter picker out at 8am too!

  • 5/5

    Great quiet overnight spot for visiting the town. Put 70p in meter before realising free parking on Sundays. Still it gave me an hours extra lie in for Monday morning instead, before needing to move.

  • 5/5

    Great stopover last Thursday and Friday nights, very quiet, short distance from the lovely town. Will definitely stay there again.

  • 5/5

    Good stay here, large carpark with lights and security cameras. no issues but parking charges restart at 8am so be up and out early

  • 4/5

    Great parking to visit an interesting town. If you’re looking for something different don’t go over the bridge but walk out of the car park entrance you drove in and look for the pink flamingo, not cheap but a nice quirky bar.

  • 4/5

    Good car park for overnight. Not noisy. Close to centre. Nice walking along riverbank.

  • 3/5

    Good place for night party. close to very good pubs.

  • 4/5

    Stayed here sat night no charge due to covid nice town will go again

  • 4/5

    We spent a very quiet night here 24 Oct 19 with no problems. Illuminated all night so felt safe. Few cars moving after 10.30pm. very convenient for town centre via footbridge and lovely walk along riverbank to The Quarry.
