  • 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 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.

Non-electric grass touring pitch

Liked Everything.the hosts were amazing, the site was clean and well organised with good size pitches.
There are lovely walks locally and amazing views.
Being a bank holiday weekend the facilities were a little busy, but they were regularly stocked and cleaned. Dave was brilliant, especially persuading my husband that we would love a firepit, he was right, we did 😀
We were on a non electric pitch with our moter home and it was perfect. Thank you

Non-electric grass touring pitch

Liked Quietness and location. Being able to choose where we wanted to park up. Clean amenities and a well equipped kitchen/dining/meet up indoor place. Good varied walks from site for our dog. Friendly helpful owners. Booked for 2 nights ended up staying 3. Pubs and shops within walking distance (about 40 mins on flat paths)

Disliked Very small point. Having easier access to filling up motorhome with water without feeling you are encroaching on someone’s pitch.

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.
