  • 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

Great adult-only spot by the lake. Clean facilities, friendly owners, spacious pitches. A few sloped pitches and patchy phone signal noted, but most love it and plan to return.

Liked I recently had a fantastic weekend at Colemere Caravan Park, staying in a tent on an electric pitch. The park's serene atmosphere and beautiful surroundings made for a perfect getaway. The pitch was spacious, clean, and well-equipped with power, which made our experience very comfortable.

The facilities, including clean showers and toilets, were conveniently located and well-maintained. I loved being able to enjoy the stunning views of the lake, and the peaceful environment was ideal for relaxation.

The staff were friendly and attentive, ensuring we had everything we needed for a great stay. Colemere Caravan Park is a perfect choice for anyone looking for a tranquil camping experience.

Lewis W.

Unpowered grass tent or trailer tent site

Liked I visited for my first solo camping adventure and the site is great. David gave me a map and list of the local area which was really helpful. The facilities were clean, communal area really nice and WiFi is a good bonus.
It’s well situated with lots of dog friendly walks, I did the 8 mile long route which was pretty flat and easy to walk (download OS maps as it was a bit tricky to follow without a map) via Welshampton with nice pubs along the route.
There is a shorter 45 minute walk into Ellesmere too

Disliked The site is hilly so lots of the pitches were uneven and my pans were sliding off the stove but not much they can do about that!
Also no phone signal, again not the sites fault, but download maps ahead of time

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thanks for your review Lewis!

We would just like to add Lewis, you were given a choice to pitch on two fields that are non electric, apart from pitching were the cones are placed as these are electric pitches. Sorry that your pitched on a sloppy area, as there are flat pitches also.


Kind regards

Angela C.

Unpowered grass campervan site

Liked Loved this site. The views, the peace and quiet, closeness to a beautiful lake walk, the horses in the next field, the ‘love shack’ and the friendly owners. Plus a bonus being adults only (as teachers) and dog friendly.

Disliked The toilets - wouldn’t stop us returning but they need to be updated to be more private, maybe full doors instead of saloon style, and an outside door that shuts. Just an idea as we loved the site.

From the manager: Thanks for your review!

Liked The location is great.
The owners, Dave and Ingrid were very friendly and helpful, our brand new electric hook up didn’t work and Dave quickly offered us an extension.
The facilities were pristine.
The pitches were spacious and varied. We felt very private and safe with our 2 nosey dogs!
Fabulous walks from the site as well as a selection of pubs!

Disliked Struggle to understand why we paid £3 a night for each of our dogs.

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.
