  • 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.

What customers say

This adults-only campsite is praised for its beautiful, tranquil setting by Colemere lake, offering direct access to lovely walks and local attractions. Guests appreciate the spacious, well-maintained pitches and the thoughtful communal facilities, including a social hub with kitchen amenities. The owners are consistently described as friendly, helpful, and accommodating. While the site is generally very clean, some mention that the shower and toilet facilities could benefit from updating, and WiFi signal can be intermittent. The natural surroundings and abundant wildlife are a significant draw.

Liked Very clean facilities, the owners are very welcoming.

Disliked Come early as there is only a few flat pitches otherwise your on slopes.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thanks for booking, however we would like to clarify some of the information in your review is not accurate .

We are not a uniformed site and have many flat pitches spread out over the site, enabling guests a choice for space, freedom and quietness.

We are always happy to help and if guests want to move they can subject to availably.

Ingrid & Dave

Enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend.

Non-electric grass campervan pitch

Liked There are a lot of positives about this site and we enjoyed our 2 night stay . The electric pitches look flat and are thoughtfully laid out close to the toilets and communal buildings. These over look a well kept grass area , with benches and small pond. Communal building(log cabin feel) is a nice touch by the owners, with coffee and microwave available plus information about the surrounding area. The non electric pitches are on the next field. Although this area is fairly uneven it is possible to find some flat surfaces and privacy. You will be located further from the toilets so have this in mind if you have no facilities in your own set up.
The site is next to a large lake which takes around 40 minutes to walk around and the path is fairly flat. Ellesmere can be reached by walking along the canal and takes 45-50 mins. ( obviously you can also drive). Highly recommend you do this if you like walking. Ellesmere is a nice town to visit and very close to the mere

Disliked This will be a minor point for some but the washing up station is right outside the toilet block and we felt very privacy of using the loo was an issue at times. This shouldn’t put you off though, as I’ve written above there are so many plus points

From the manager: Thanks for your feedback !

Liked Loved this site, gorgeous location with beautiful walks. Site was perfectly maintained and a pleasure to stay in. Facilities were perfect! Particularly loved The Cabin was a fantastic shared space with internet and a kettle to make a morning cuppa. Only stayed one night on our way through to Pembrokeshire but would certainly visit again.

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.
