Badger camping pod

Liked This is a beautiful, peaceful and well-run campsite. There are loads of trees surrounding the site, and there's is constant birdsong during the day. The site has a lovely pond and gardens, and it's very relaxing to hang out by the pond during the day and watch the rabbits and moorhens. It's walking distance to Wood Lane nature reserve (email about a permit in advance, or ask the campsite manager about accessing hides) and lots of meres, and it's just a short walk around Cole Mere to get onto the canal towpath - perfect for walking.

Badger camping pod was perfect for us. Really nice setting, loads of space inside, and plenty outside too to spread out with our camping chairs, fire pit etc. I'd love to come back, might bring our own tent next time as the pitches looked great!

Wifi 10 stars - it worked perfectly well in the communal areas and it was nice to have the option to stay connected if needed.

Liked Beautiful and quiet surroundings
Clean site
Good facilities
Friendly owners

Disliked "Just an opportunity" to leave a dustpan and brush in the pod/hut.so we can maintain cleanliness, I would of liked to of had a brush through before we left, rather than leave it to the owners to do.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thankyou for leaving kind comments!

Normally we leave an ash pan on the step outside, did not realise it had gone missing!
Thankyou for leaving the pod so tidy for us, plus really pleased you enjoyed the surroundings and we hope to see you here again soon.

Kind regards

What customers say

This adults-only campsite offers a peaceful rural escape with stunning views and abundant wildlife. Visitors praise the spacious, well-maintained pitches, clean facilities, and the welcoming, helpful hosts, Dave and Ingrid. Direct access to beautiful walks around the mere and canal, a cosy communal area, and a relaxed atmosphere are frequently highlighted. While most found no faults, some noted narrow access roads, occasional issues with pitch levelling, and Wi-Fi coverage limitations. Hot tub hire and fire pit availability were appreciated extras.

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.
