Powered grass campsite

Liked Cleanliness of facilities, interesting historic buildings on site, welcoming and friendly wardens, convenient location, good transport links, lovely old trees!!!

Disliked Some of the residential pitches looked very run down and scruffy. Road noise, didn’t particularly bother us but noticeable when sitting out in the day.
A bit of litter around

FHU cement/asphalt campsite

Liked The location was perfect, supermarket and coffee shop 5 mins walk, local town with pubs and restaurants within 20 minutes walk and within driving distance of some great historic sites.

The toilets and showers were spotless and well-maintained and the pitch was a generous size, and again, well-maintained. We'll definitely be back

Disliked Nothing

Primitive grass campsite

Liked The site is conveniently placed off the dual carriageway with shops and petrol station within a 5 to 10 minute walk, I appreciated the tent pitches being slightly hidden in the trees it made it feel like it's own campsite. The staff were very friendly and the site felt very safe and the facilities were kept clean throughout.

FHU cement/asphalt campsite

Liked Very conveniently located, the road noise wasn't intrusive, good disabled facilities.

Disliked The Internet is patchy in that area and there is no WiFi available on site. We've stayed here before, about the same time of year, and it was quiet and spacious despite being busy; this time the site seemed to be full of permanent/semi permanent residents which takes away from any peaceful holiday feel.

Local attractions

Hoping for history? You've come to the right place. Take a trip to Chirk Castle (10 minutes' drive) and discover one of the most impressive Marcher fortresses on the border between England and Wales. Afterwards, similarly scenic and historic times are to be had at the National Trust-run Erddig Estate (15 minutes), a spectacular Grade I-listed property with fab formal grounds. Water has done such a lot to shape the Welsh landscape, and the area surrounding James Caravan Park has a fair bit of the wet stuff to admire. Check out the Pontcysyllte Aqueduct (10 minutes) on the Shropshire Union Canal to see an exceptional feat of Victorian engineering, and stick around to take a boat ride by its arches along the river Dee. For a break with one foot in Wales and the other in England, trundle along by train to Chester Zoo (or drive there in 30 minutes), take yourself off to Tate Liverpool (50 minutes) for art and culture, or – if you really want to make the kids' day – organise a jaunt to the high-adrenaline rides at Gulliver's World Theme Park (50 minutes).
