  • 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 Gorgeous setting, fabulous barn with really lovely touches - where campers can gather, play games, watch TV, get out of the rain and even make a cuppa. Such a lovely idea. And the thoughtfulness continued into the showers and toilets where there were lovely products and essentials for people to use. Super clean and beautifully maintained in a lovely area.

Liked A lovely campsite. The owners were very approachable and helpful. An additional bonus of having a inside area to sit with table & benches and couches. Two under the counter Fridge freezers, kettle, toaster microwave. Colemere is such a beautiful area and the rest of the Meres too. We did a 15k walk around the area next to the Shropshire Union Canal. Alderford Lake is a fantastic visit too with canoe, paddle board & swimming available.

Liked What an amazing site.
Owners are very very friendly and caring.
The site itself is impeccable - lots of space between tents, beautiful surroundings (the woodland walk around the lake is bliss), toilets and shower blocks were spotless. Theres even a social hub room which has an amazing place to chill and meet new people, has WiFi, TV, full kitchen, fridges to use.
Found that everyone respected the site, no noise was heard after 11pm.
We walked to Ellesmere around the lake and down the canal path, took about an hour, but so very peaceful and idylic.
There's a big Tesco in Ellesmere which is just a 5 min drive away.
Honestly couldn't find a single fault with this site and will definitely be back again.
Bravo to the owners.

Disliked absolutely nothing

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.
