  • 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.

Electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked Really lovely campsite with great walks all around. Never once had to wait to use any of the facilities and the owners are really lovely and welcoming. First time camping in the rain which I can’t say we loved but we will definitely be back when the sun is shining. Loved seeing all the wildlife around the pitches

Gavin H.

Electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked I had such a lovely stay at Colemere Caravan Park and would happily recommend it. The location is beautiful, with plenty of scenic walks right on the doorstep – perfect for a peaceful getaway.

The site is really well maintained and everything is kept spotless. Ingrid and Dave were so welcoming and friendly, which made the stay even more enjoyable.

I especially loved the little extras like the Sunday trailer bar and the on-site shack – such a great touch. The facilities are clean, the adults-only setting makes it nice and relaxing, and the pitches are great value too.

I’m already planning another visit!

Disliked None at all!!

Brad N.

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked There’s really nothing not to like here. If I’m being really picky, I’d say the cost of a fire pit is abit steep, but then we think the cost of the pitch is cheap, so it works out!

Our 3rd time staying, its peaceful, great location for walks, spacious pitches, amazingly polite owners, facilities are always kept clean!

Little shack with WiFi and seating/heating is really cosy and a great addition.

We’ve stayed none the electric every time as we do like abit more space then the electric pitches can provide, but the space for none electric pitches is huge! It was 2 fields when we first stayed but now it’s extended across 3 or 4!

We’re just looking to book again for August, can’t wait.

From the manager: Hi there thanks for booking with us.

Just to add to the comments left by yourselves there are doors on every cubicle in situ, there is a main door that can be shut also .
There is an Elson point not far from the entrance which is separate to facilities …. Apologies if you were unaware of this we are always around if to help with any thing.


Many thanks

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.
