  • Lakeside park in a wildlife haven on five acres of grassland
  • Dog friendly with woodland walks; hot tub to hire
  • A few minutes' walk from a nature reserve with fishing pools
Grownups! If you seek serenity, scenery and nature-spotting on holiday, this is the Shropshire site for you. Adjacent to the mere of Colemere and set on the lake's south side, adults-only Colemere Caravan Park is in a countryside setting on five acres of wildlife-laden land with peaceful walks all around – and a quarter of a mile from Wood Lane nature reserve, which the expert folk at the BBC describe as one of the best birdwatching sites in Shropshire. Owners Dave and Ingrid have put a lot of thought into ensuring that guests are kept comfy at this peaceful and popular little site: as well as a good range of accommodation options, guests have access to a fully-equipped and cute social area, all hand-built and including a kitchen with fridge, kettle, utensils, pots and microwave. Firepits are available on request and guests can bring their own barbecues. And for keeping toasty after that, a Nordic wood-fired hot tub overlooking the lily pond is available to hire in the afternoons and evenings for four-hour periods (couples only). Picnic tables are dotted around to place the campfire food on, and the park has well-kept separate bathrooms for ladies and gents.

From the manager: Dear Sarah

We are disappointed to see this review, which appears to be based solely on our refusal to allow metal detecting on the site.

To be clear metal detecting is not permitted on our land and we are under no obligation to make an exception. We have a responsibility to protect the land and grounds and to ensure this is respected by all our guests.

We welcome back genuine feedback, but leaving a poor review because we would not permit an activity is unfair and misleading to potential guests.

We appreciate this must of been frustrating, but nevertheless wish you well in your future travels.


Kind regards

Kingfisher yurt

Liked An amazing site so peaceful, the communal area is the best it has a cool pub vibe, and the area to explore on the bikes or walking is so peaceful and beautiful. It is a place to come and relax.The lake leads onto the canal which takes you to Ellesmere. The yurt was lovely was just very hot throughout the day, will definitely be returning when its cooler.

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked Facilities were clean and the site was quiet with a communal area which was used each time I passed by.

Disliked The facilities are quite limited, with very little room to manoeuvre when getting in and out of the showers. There are only two female showers, two female toilets, and one additional mixed shower/toilet. The washing-up area is located directly outside the female toilets, which isn’t ideal.

We also found it difficult to find a suitable camping pitch. It wasn’t due to a lack of space overall, but because the site is quite hilly. Most of the flat areas had already been taken by other campers, leaving very few suitable pitches available. As it’s a “pitch where you like” campsite, it can be challenging to find an appropriate spot, especially if you arrive later in the day.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback. We're sorry to hear that aspects of your stay didn't meet your expectations.

We understand that the location and size of the toilet facilities may not suit everyone's preferences. While their position is fixed, we work hard to keep them clean well maintained and easily accessible from all areas of the campsite.

Regarding the pitches, we have about 50 perfectly level pitches. As we're a countryside campsite, some areas by nature do have natural very scenic undulations. On the day you were here there were some perfectly level pitches left!

We do our best to direct guests to the most suitable pitches, and we're always happy to help if anyone would like to move subject to availability.

Communal areas were lovely and relaxing.…

Route directions

The best approach is from the A528 (Ellesmere to Shrewsbury road), then following the Satnav postcode SY12 0QL or What3words (divided.wished.relatives). You should come to an old-fashioned crossroad. Go down Mill Lane. The site is just over 250 metres on the right. Follow the brown signs to SY12 0QL.

Local attractions

There's stacks to do in the surrounding area, whether you want to stick close to home by foot or pedal, or drive a bit further afield to the towns, tourist attractions and landscapes of Shropshire, Cheshire and north-east Wales – the city of Chester is 40 minutes away and Llangollen on the River Dee reachable within an hour. On the doorstep, tackle the two-mile walk along the canal towpath to Ellesmere or make your way via the purpose-built circular walk and through a wooded area of rhododendrons around the mere and nature reserve, a Site of Special Scientific Interest with species galore to see like otters, lapwings and water birds. The reserve also has several deep fishing pools well-stocked with catfish and big carp; more fishing – and carp – can be had nearby at Blackmere along the towpath from Colmere. Also nearby, wander into Colemere village to see the fifteenth-century thatched cottages, listed in the Domesday Book, to Ellesmere for food festivals, regattas and boat rides on the mere, or drive to Rednal Karting, Paintballing and Laser for an exciting time ten minutes away. Castles including Chirk and Whittington are a doddle to drive to too. If being on the water is your thing, a narrowboat marina is a three-minute drive away from the caravan park and both Colemere and Whitemere sailing clubs are within easy reach. By car, the standard of whitewater rafting at Bala Adventure and Watersports will have you foaming at the mouth – a milder form of the sport, along with abseiling, gorge walking, a steam railway and horse-drawn boat trips is available over the border in Wales at Llangollen.
