  • Well-maintained Flintshire countryside caravan park near Ewloe
  • A five-minute drive to Gladstone’s Library; Chester 15 minutes
  • Well-stocked carp ponds for anglers, plus fishing shop and café
Up for the sort of fishing holiday where you can spend many, many hours by the waterside? You'll fit right in at Stamford Way Fisheries and Camping, a fishing hotspot in quiet north Wales countryside near Ewloe, and with easy access off the A55. This is a place where anglers of all ages and abilities have the chance to try their luck on two pools from dawn until dusk. Campers get discounted rates for fishing, so what’s on offer? The carefully tended Twin Oak coarse fishing pools, well-stocked with carp and with numerous fishing pegs (including a wheelchair-friendly peg) available every day. This is a great base for fishing families, as kids can learn new skills just a short way from their caravan pitch, while experts can get stuck into competitive match fishing and festivals throughout the year. Left some kit at home? A small shop on site sells bait and pellets. And what of the pitch facilities? There's a small number of pitches for tourers, with electric hook-ups, a spotless shower block and local information in reception. And as far as catering goes, you can spark up the barbecue for alfresco feasts or abandon cooking altogether and head for the on-site café, open daily during the open season. Teas, coffees, soft drinks and alcohol are all on offer, as well as freshly prepared food taking you from breakfast to supper. If you need to stock up, head to Ewloe (five minutes’ drive), with supermarkets, post office and a petrol station, plus a pub and takeaways if you fancy venturing out of an evening.

What customers say

Lovely, tidy spot for fishing & exploring. Reviews mention spotless facilities, roomy pitches, and grand, helpful owners. Cafe gets a nod for good grub. A few grumbles about muddy pitches in the wet, and a bit of road noise, but nothing major.

Helen Y.

Electric grass touring pitch

Liked Me and my Husband stayed here for 2 nights. The campsite was beautiful. We were greeted by Dan, who gave us a choice of where we could pitch for our stay. We chose a nice corner plot with room for our awning. We did need our levelling ramps but that wasnt any issue.

The site was clean and well maintained, with clean toilets and facilities. What we didn't know about, was the full English breakfasts that were available! What a surprise treat! They were absolutely beautiful and reasonably priced too.

For £60 for 2 nights, we think this place is a hidden gem and we will definitely be returning.

Thank you 😊

From the manager: Hi Helen, thanks for the wonderful review, we are glad you enjoyed your nights away with us and we hope to see you soon,
We’ve fixed the tap already 😉

Thanks,
Stamford Way Fisheries

Electric grass touring pitch

Liked What a lovely site. Clean and tidy, the family who run it have only owned it for 3 months but are doing an amazing job. Showers and toilets clean, the breakfast was amazing and the lakes are well stocked. Nothing is too much for Dan and his partner. It's a real family affair. Location is also great

Local attractions

Looking for a dose of culture on your fishing break? Try the romantic ruins of 13th-century Ewloe Castle (10 minutes’ walk), with fantastic rural views from its parapet. Hilltop Hawarden Old Castle (10 minutes’ drive) played an important role in medieval border skirmishes and is sometimes open on summer weekends. Also worth a peek is Gladstone’s Library (five minutes), neo-Gothic reading rooms founded in 1898 and set in formal gardens. Cultured Chester (15 minutes) is a walled Roman city packed with history museums, galleries, shops and traditional half-timbered pubs. You can also take a boat trip down the River Dee and visit Chester Zoo, or hit Chester Racecourse (both 15 minutes) for horse racing and international polo matches in summer. Kids in tow? Head to Wepre Park (five minutes) for wooded walks to waterfalls, a skate park and a cracking playground for younger offspring. Families can hike off excess energy in Loggerheads Country Park (15 minutes), with lots of opportunities for river paddling and picnicking with views of Moel Famau (25 minutes), a popular hiking destination and the highest summit in the Clwydian Range.
