Lakeside site with 60 acres, 10 minutes' drive away from Wrexham
Chester, Llangollen and three golf courses within half an hour's drive
Fishing lake; café and licensed bar with seasonal opening hours

Finding a secluded spot surrounded by mature woodlands in north Wales is a fine idea in itself – but it gets even better here if you’re into your fishing. And that’s because Commonwood Leisure has 10 lakes around its 60-acre site, catering for everyone from kids and beginners to pros (who may like to wrestle with the 60-pound whopper that lives in the catfish lake…) Not fussed by fishing? This lakeside setting should be pretty splendid for you too: there’s plenty of space to relax by the water, taking in the views and lighting up a barbecue or firepit for warm evenings. Getting out and about should be straightforward as well: the site is five minutes’ drive away from the village of Holt (for pubs, cafés and an excellent farm shop) and 10 minutes from the centre of Wrexham. It’s all set up to be as straightforward as possible at this well-maintained park too. There is a café serving tasty food and a licensed bar with background music (these two are open at select times on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays during high season; opening days, times and menu items are reduced during low season). On site, there are also indoor and outdoor seating areas and plenty of areas to walk (a plus for dog owners, as the site's dog-friendly). If walking’s not such a hit with the kids, they can get stuck into rural life by spending some time with the herd of friendly pygmy goats on site.

What customers say

Pitches are generously sized and well-maintained, with many guests praising the clean facilities, particularly the toilets and showers. Fishing is a major draw, with several lakes available. The on-site bar and cafe receive positive mentions for food and atmosphere. Visitors enjoy the peaceful and relaxed environment, the friendly staff, and the presence of goats. Some minor issues were noted, including occasional cold water and the need for additional shower/toilet facilities, though a new block is under construction.

Apr 2026 Carl L.

Madoc Lake fully-serviced hardstanding touring pitch (waterside)

Liked We had a pitch overlooking one of the ponds which had a lovely view. The pitch was very spacious plenty of room for the caravan, awning and car.
The pub on site was ideal and the food was excellent. Staff extremely helpful and friendly.
I took the fishing rods to try some fishing and to my surprise the peg was free while we had a pitch, I expected to pay extra for the fishing.
Really enjoyed the stay and am planning to return later this year.

From the manager: Thank you Carl, we are glad you enjoyed your stay and a spot of fishing n:-) This year's staff are amazing. Hopefully see you again soon.

Apr 2026 Gary M.

Madoc Lake fully-serviced hardstanding touring pitch (waterside)

Liked We had a lovely stay at this peaceful, family-friendly site. The pitches are really spacious, giving everyone plenty of room to relax, and everything is kept immaculately clean.
The staff were all friendly and always happy to help, whether it was answering questions or just having a chat—they really made us feel welcome from the moment we arrived.
Our boys absolutely loved Pablo’s pizzas, which quickly became a highlight of the trip, and the fishing was great too—perfect for unwinding and keeping the kids entertained. There’s a great balance here of activities and relaxation, so it never feels too busy or too quiet.
We also visited Erddig National Trust, just a 20-minute drive away, which was a fantastic day out for the whole family. The grounds are beautiful, and there’s plenty to explore, making it well worth the visit.
Overall, it’s a brilliant site for families looking for a relaxing break with plenty to do nearby. We’ll definitely be returning in the future.

Mar 2026 Paul W.

Fishing Canal electric hardstanding and grass touring pitch

Liked Toilets and shower room was very clean.Site was pretty quiet,probably due to the early season,and the mixed weather.Good facilities although we didn't need to use much as we were self contained.Tried twice to go the bar in the evenings (both times appeared to be closed) but couldn't see any staff about,Even shouted,but nobody came.

Warm welcome when we arrived though,and staff member explained rules for fishing etc.My second time here (came last summer).Prices have gone up which may put me off in future.

Disliked Prices have increased which could be off-putting.Lack of visible staff around bar/reception area at times.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for your review, sorry you feel the price increase and coming out of season would stop you from visiting again. We did not open officially until Easter weekend which is when the seasonal staff started back. The £5 increase is obviously due to electricity price increase, thought the price does include fishing which is normally £10 and Pitch Up take 15%.

Great site will definitely return! Lovely…

Local attractions

If you’re keen to explore historic places on your break, start with a wander around the huge manor and elegant gardens at the National Trust’s Erddig estate (20 minutes), then carry on to Chirk Castle (25 minutes) to see a medieval fort updated with 18th-century features. The area around Llangollen (25 minutes) has plenty to see too, including Castell Dinas Brân and the Pontcysyllte Aqueduct. Kids after something more geared to their tastes? Try an outing to Chester Zoo (25 minutes) or a tasty trip to The Ice Cream Farm (20 minutes). Wrexham also has a swimming pool, bowling and the Xplore science museum for damp days.
