August 27, 2026

A Shrewsbury campsite has been placed in the spotlight after being chosen as the filming location for a new campervan review fronted by Channel 4 and Dragons’ Den designer, Max McMurdo.

Beaconsfield Holiday Park in Shrewsbury provided the backdrop for a new Out & About Live editorial review, with McMurdo exploring the design, layout and real-world practicality of modern campervans.

The filming brings national outdoor leisure attention to Shrewsbury, highlighting the area’s appeal as a destination for touring, camping and countryside escapes. McMurdo, known for his work in design, upcycling and sustainable living, has been working with Out & About Live on a series of campervan reviews aimed at helping buyers understand what matters before choosing a vehicle.

The review focuses on how modern campervans are being designed for real use, from storage and sleeping arrangements to comfort, flexibility and day-to-day usability.

Beaconsfield Holiday Park, a highly rated touring park with holiday homes and an indoor swimming pool, was selected as the setting for the review, offering an ideal touring environment close to Shrewsbury.

Max McMurdo said: “Shrewsbury and the surrounding countryside provide the perfect backdrop for showing why campervan holidays are booming. Beaconsfield Holiday Park was a fantastic setting for my reviews, giving me the chance to demonstrate how modern campervans perform in the kind of real-world environment people actually use them in. It is also a brilliant example of a local business doing things properly and I’m pleased we can showcase it to campervan fans across the country.”

The review forms part of an Out & About Live campaign exploring modern campervan design and the practical choices buyers should consider before making a major purchase. For Shrewsbury, the filming also reflects the continued importance of camping, touring and domestic tourism to local visitor economies, with sites like Beaconsfield helping attract holidaymakers to the area.
