  • Lakeside site with 60 acres, 10 minutes' drive away from Wrexham
  • Chester, Llangollen and three golf courses within half an hour's drive
  • Fishing lakes; 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 eight fishing lakes around its 60-acre site, as well as a swimming lake with a lakeside sauna. 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. On site is the Acorn bar and café, serving tasty food 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 some weekends, there's live music and bouncy castles at the bar and café. There are also indoor and outdoor seating areas and plenty of areas to walk (a plus for dog owners, as the site is 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

This well-kept site boasts spacious pitches, praised for its peaceful vibe and lovely scenery, especially the lakes. Fishing and wild swimming are popular. Staff are often called friendly and helpful. The bar and pizzeria get good reviews for food and atmosphere. While most facilities are clean, some noted occasional toilet/shower cleanliness or quantity issues and a need for more bins. Improvements are underway with a new shower block being built.

Fishing Canal powered cement/asphalt and grass travel trailer campsite

Liked Lovely site staff great. Great access to multiple places around holt/wrexham.
Pizzas on pricey side but were tasty. Lovely young girl in cafe. Grandson loved her extra special pancakes with nutella. Thanks

Disliked Was next to very busy road but that cant be helped. The marked up price on pitchup was high compared to their own website. Will know for next time

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for your review, glad you enjoyed your stay. There should not be any price difference with pitch up, maybe the 15% commission that they take is it.

Gavin W. 1 review

Madoc Lake FHU cement/asphalt travel trailer campsite (waterside)

Liked Great fishing, very friendly staff. Lovely setting. Quiet midweek, busy on hot weekend with day visitors to recreation lake

Disliked Pitch had day visitors walking across electrics and waste pipes- ended up broken.
Needed more regular toilet cleaning.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for your review. Did you mention to any staff about visitors walking across your pitch? We do tell all guests not to walk over the pitches. Day visitors are usually not allowed on a Saturday, so not sure why they had been if they were day visitors.

Perfect

 Marie B. 5 reviews

Fishing Canal powered cement/asphalt and grass travel trailer campsite

Liked The pitches were really spacious and because we went out of school time it was really quiet in the week.

Disliked The sign for the site is quite set back from the road so we actually passed it on our first attempt.
Upon arrival there was little or no signs showing where reception was so we drove into the car park to which was really busy to be bibbed by other cars obviously knowing where they were going !!
We drove down a road to the right which looked like it could lead to caravan pitches.
I got out of the car to look for reception and my husband continued down the road to a turning circle.
Checking in was very disorganised, the first guy just kept asking for my confirmation ( even though my internet reception was naff ) I told him my name but he was insistent he needed my confirmation email. Eventually a second guy turned up and he pointed out on a board where we were pitched. ( no pitch numbers just a make shift board )
He went through the basic camping rules ( dogs on lead, no campfires on the grass, no washing lines etc .. )
We were booked to stay for 9 days and for 80 % of the time it was lovely & quiet & chilled. Over the weekend ( which would obviously be busier ) we had a couple of neighbour issues but nothing major.
On out last night (Sunday ) a member of staff approached my husband and was quite abrupt telling him he couldn’t finish after 7 O’clock even though he had fished every other night until dusk and over the weekend we were woked up several times with fishing alarms going off.
We are not people to break the rules but they should be instigated at the beginning and not when it seems fit.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for your review. There are two large signs either side of the gate, so not sure how you missed them. The car park being busy is not in our control, they were probably guests like yourselves checking in. Check in is in the office 1-5pm after this you check in at the bar, there are plenty of staff to assist you. We ask all of our staff to ask to see the confirmation e-mail as without it there is no confirming you are who you are. The board is for our use only so we can see at a glance where guests are sited, they obviously felt the mood and just done it from the board. There are pitch numbers on it but again for our use only. You would have been given the rules at check in which clearly states no fishing after 7pm, if you had been doing this for the duration then you were lucky that you had not been told prior to your last night, The rules are there for everyone to follow, more than actually give you the rules which you sign to say received there is not much else we can do to ensure they are followed. Issues with neighbours especially at the weekend is likely, had we been told at the time, the wardens that are on site 24 hours would have done something about it, but as they weren't there was little we could do. Knowing that sites get busy at weekends this shouldn't come as a surprise that there can be noise. You are at a fishing site, which obviously your husband enjoys, as do others, if they use alarms then that is part of fishing..
