  • 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.

Electric grass touring pitch

Liked Large adult only site next to Colemere with access to the mere from the bottom of the park. Spacious pitches, especially the none electric side of the site.

There's free WiFi in the communal area. EE data was very intermittent but O2 wasn't bad.

There's a communal area and kitchen for campers and a couple of landscaped ponds with seating. The park and facilities were spotless. Hosts David and Ingrid were lovely.

Handy for Ellesmere where I can recommend the Boathouse for breakfast and The Red Lion for tea.

Disliked Toilet block is small and doesn't have a decent sized sink in the men's. My wife pointed out that anyone using the sink in the ladies blocks the entrance to the toilets.

This didn't distract from our holiday in anyway but worth pointing out.

From the manager: Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback. We’re sorry to hear you were disappointed by the ladies’ toilet facilities.

Unfortunately, we currently only have one ladies’ toilet basin available due to the layout of our premises. We understand this can be inconvenient during busy periods which we are hoping to resolve.


Best wishes

Electric grass touring pitch

Liked Loved this site. Clean and tidy, lots of room. Beautiful rabbits running around. Awesome communal area. Great place to walk from. Very nice easy going owners.

Disliked Really nothing to do with the site. Just a watch out, we were bitten by horseflies and mozzies during our walks around the mere (next to the site). Protect yourself, it partially spoiled our stay.

From the manager: Sorry to hear this, great to met you both!

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.
