  • 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 spot has roomy, chilled-out sites by Colemere lake with woodland/canal walks. Owners are deadset legends, facilities are spotless, and the communal lounge is a ripper. Watch out for tight access roads and bumpy bits, but it's a top-notch stay, heaps of people love it and are keen to come back.

Unpowered grass tent or trailer tent site

Liked We stayed in Colemere Caravan Park for two nights during a late May heatwave. The owners are super friendly and greeted us on arrival with a map of the area - showing direct walks from the site onto the stunning lake and further afield onto the canal to nearby Ellesmere (around 45-50 mins). There were also local recommendations for sightseeing and pubs etc.

The site was spacious and well maintained. Pitches are large and we didn't feel like we were too close to other campers.

Showers and toilet facilities were constantly cleaned and there was always a ready supply of toilet roll, hand-wash and hand towels. The womens facilities had a dress up area with a hairdryer and plug for straighteners etc. There were also a few toiletries in case you forget any essentials.

The clubhouse is well equipped with microwave, fridge freezer and kettle. There's an outdoor sink for washing up and also an indoor sink if that was in use. Wifi is also available in the clubhouse.

Firepits with wood, firelighters and kindling were provided at an extra cost and delivered directly to the pitch. Would recommend taking your own firelighters.

Last but my no means least this is an adult only site so ideal for a quieter stay. Great campsite that we will definitely visit again.

Disliked Unfortunately the hot water in the showers was cold one morning. I believe this was due to an issue with the boiler. This also impacted washing dishes - I did use the kettle provided in the clubhouse however this did take some time to boil.

Liked The layout of the site immersed in nature with the trees, gardens and ponds. Easy access to the mere and canal. Spacious pitches, very clean facilities. David and Ingrid very welcoming.

Disliked Struggle to find anything negative to say
Normally I can spot things that can be improved but the owners have thought of everything

Liked Really lovely campsite with great walks all around. Never once had to wait to use any of the facilities and the owners are really lovely and welcoming. First time camping in the rain which I can’t say we loved but we will definitely be back when the sun is shining. Loved seeing all the wildlife around the pitches

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.
