What customers say
Adults-only spot by Colemere lake. Spacious pitches, great facilities (incl. lounge). Peaceful, abundant wildlife, direct access to walks. Dave & Ingrid are super friendly & helpful. Patchy phone signal but highly recommended for its tranquil, scenic setting.

Overall, we had a pleasant 1 night stay.
Unpowered grass tent or trailer tent site
Liked Facilities were clean and the site was quiet with a communal area which was used each time I passed by.
Disliked The facilities are quite limited, with very little room to manoeuvre when getting in and out of the showers. There are only two female showers, two female toilets, and one additional mixed shower/toilet. The washing-up area is located directly outside the female toilets, which isn’t ideal.
We also found it difficult to find a suitable camping pitch. It wasn’t due to a lack of space overall, but because the site is quite hilly. Most of the flat areas had already been taken by other campers, leaving very few suitable pitches available. As it’s a “pitch where you like” campsite, it can be challenging to find an appropriate spot, especially if you arrive later in the day.

From the manager: Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback. We're sorry to hear that aspects of your stay didn't meet your expectations.
We understand that the location and size of the toilet facilities may not suit everyone's preferences. While their position is fixed, we work hard to keep them clean well maintained and easily accessible from all areas of the campsite.
Regarding the pitches, we have about 50 perfectly level pitches. As we're a countryside campsite, some areas by nature do have natural very scenic undulations. On the day you were here there were some perfectly level pitches left!
We do our best to direct guests to the most suitable pitches, and we're always happy to help if anyone would like to move subject to availability.

Real hidden gem!

Liked A real hidden gem!
We loved absolutely everything about this campsite!
It was the most perfect relaxing break.

From the manager: Thanks for your review !
Towels are changed regularly throughout the day !
Our toilets don’t have exit door handles which you do not have to touch on leaving!
It is a fact tests have proven that they are contaminated with faeces microbes. E coli, Staph A and Strep. Viruses also detected are Nora virus.
On conclusion may be the modern toilet blowers are not as clean as we think ?

Enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend.
Unpowered grass campervan site
Liked There are a lot of positives about this site and we enjoyed our 2 night stay . The electric pitches look flat and are thoughtfully laid out close to the toilets and communal buildings. These over look a well kept grass area , with benches and small pond. Communal building(log cabin feel) is a nice touch by the owners, with coffee and microwave available plus information about the surrounding area. The non electric pitches are on the next field. Although this area is fairly uneven it is possible to find some flat surfaces and privacy. You will be located further from the toilets so have this in mind if you have no facilities in your own set up.
The site is next to a large lake which takes around 40 minutes to walk around and the path is fairly flat. Ellesmere can be reached by walking along the canal and takes 45-50 mins. ( obviously you can also drive). Highly recommend you do this if you like walking. Ellesmere is a nice town to visit and very close to the mere
Disliked This will be a minor point for some but the washing up station is right outside the toilet block and we felt very privacy of using the loo was an issue at times. This shouldn’t put you off though, as I’ve written above there are so many plus points

Quirky, well thought out site that meets every expectation and more
Unpowered grass campervan site
Liked Loved this site, gorgeous location with beautiful walks. Site was perfectly maintained and a pleasure to stay in. Facilities were perfect! Particularly loved The Cabin was a fantastic shared space with internet and a kettle to make a morning cuppa. Only stayed one night on our way through to Pembrokeshire but would certainly visit again.

Adult only site with a 1.5 mile lake walk next door.
Powered grass caravan site
Liked Large adult only site next to Colemere with access to the mere from the bottom of the park. Spacious pitches, especially the none electric side of the site.
There's free WiFi in the communal area. EE data was very intermittent but O2 wasn't bad.
There's a communal area and kitchen for campers and a couple of landscaped ponds with seating. The park and facilities were spotless. Hosts David and Ingrid were lovely.
Handy for Ellesmere where I can recommend the Boathouse for breakfast and The Red Lion for tea.
Disliked Toilet block is small and doesn't have a decent sized sink in the men's. My wife pointed out that anyone using the sink in the ladies blocks the entrance to the toilets.
This didn't distract from our holiday in anyway but worth pointing out.

From the manager: Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback. We’re sorry to hear you were disappointed by the ladies’ toilet facilities.
Unfortunately, we currently only have one ladies’ toilet basin available due to the layout of our premises. We understand this can be inconvenient during busy periods which we are hoping to resolve.
