  • Modern holiday park on the border between England and Wales
  • Oswestry and Wrexham within 15 minutes' drive; Chester 30 minutes
  • Dog-friendly site with all-weather pitches; pub five minutes' walk
Entertaining the idea of a cross-border break? For comfy hols on the England–Wales border, take a look at Foxtail Holiday Park, a modern site a couple of minutes' walk from the Llangollen Canal. Even savvy locals would be forgiven for being outfoxed by the geography around here, as this green agricultural landscape straddles the border in ways that make it difficult to keep up with which country you're in (any Cymraeg on the road signs is often a helpful clue). And letting yourself lose your bearings isn't without appeal in this part of the world – crisscross the surrounding terrain along the Llangollen Canal or Offa's Dyke Path if you fancy days of rambling (both are clearly signposted, so there's little chance of getting properly lost). Back at base, this well-kept park has an array of attractive all-weather pitches where you can settle down and relax after days of adventuring. Toilets, showers, disabled facilities, drainage points for tourers and free superfast wifi are all mightily handy to have. The on-site bar is open from 3pm on Fridays and Saturdays when you want to unwind or have a social drink, while fuss-free dinners can be fixed at the traditional inn five minutes' walk down the road. Foxtail Holiday Park also has the plus of being dog-friendly. Need a supermarket, leisure centre or takeaway? Oswestry and Wrexham are both within 15 minutes' drive.

What customers say

Immaculate site, helpful staff, and spacious pitches. Spotless, warm showers. Popular on-site bar & pub nearby. Great for canal walks, though road noise can disturb light sleepers.

Liked Great site nice and flat gravel pitches, Club house was good and a pub right across the for nice food.

Fully-serviced gravel caravan site (premium, maximum 7 metres)

Liked Well kept site clean and tidy nice level gravel pitches loved that all pitches were fully serviced and spaced

Disliked Road noise only down side as right beside busy A road wouldn’t recommend if you was light sleeper or hate lorry’s sounding like they are coming into your caravan at 2am lol

Toilet floors could do with refit as looks all bubbly and main male door of reception needs planning to close as does not close fully

Fully-serviced gravel caravan site (XL, premium)

Liked Location, staff, onsite facilities and bar. The toilet and showers are spotless and warm. Lots of options for walks nearby and the local town is a nice distance away for a stroll

Disliked For me it wasn’t a big deal but the noise from the duel carriageway that runs along the back of the site is a little noisy. That said this is the third time I have stayed here and I will return.

Fully-serviced gravel caravan site (premium, maximum 7 metres)

Liked A modern, very well maintained and friendly site. We were looking for a few days peace and relaxation between Christmas and new year with our two dogs and that's exactly what we got. We'll definitely be back in the future. For the more adventurous there is plenty to do in the surrounding area.

Elle J.

Fully-serviced gravel caravan site (XL, premium)

Liked Arrival and departure times were great. The pitch was huge and it was awesome to have access to water on the pitch as well as electric. We were on pitch 1 which was literally 30 steps to the reception/facilities! The wifi was super speedy and super helpful during our stay! We loved that the toilets/showers were enclosed, you can shower without a gust of freezing cold air shooting through you. The showers themselves were the best we've used so far, the fact that you have a cubicle separating the shower with a curtain was lovely, and there was even a shower caddy inside so you don't have to put any of your toiletries on the floor! Everything was well lit so you felt safe but not so bright that it lit up the campervan at night. The site itself was clean and well-kept. Really handy having 'The Poachers' pub just a 3 minute walk from your pitch too. Absolutely love a dog friendly site too, makes your trip so much better. We would definitely go back, hopefully with some better weather next time!

Disliked Maybe somewhere to wash pots? Our rented campervan had a sink but no plug and the vans water supply was awful :(

Liked Lovely little site. Very clean and well maintained. Staff were friendly and helpful. Great location for walks along the canal and viaduct.

Disliked Noise from the nearby road, but it certainly didn’t spoil the stay.

From the Gledrid Roundabout (with the large petrol station and M&S food hall), follow signposts for Chirk. In approximately half a mile, take the first turning on the right, immediately after the garden centre. White caravans signs are located on the grass verge. If you pass the Poachers Pub, you have driven too far past the site entrance.

Local attractions

Longing for the outdoor life? Rafters can hire a craft and splash their way down the rapids at Llangollen (15 minutes' drive), a pretty village in the foothills of the Berwyn Mountains. Those with courage left to spare can abseil, walk through gorges or clamber over rocks at the place's couple of outdoor activity centres; there's also scope for more relaxing rides aboard a volunteer-run heritage railway and horse-drawn jaunts in a restored barge. The ancient town of Chester (30 minutes) is also close if you're up for a change of scene – with museums, Roman remains and one of the finest zoos in all of England, there's a lot here to please any curious kids you've brought along. Additional hands-on activities can be sorted with a trip to Wrexham's Xplore Science Discovery Centre (15 minutes), where live science demos should put a sparkle in any budding boffin's eye. Other likeable local spots include engineering triumphs such as Chirk Aqueduct (20 minutes' walk) and Pontcysyllte Aqueduct (10 minutes' drive) or historic houses like Chirk Castle (10 minutes) and Plas Newydd (15 minutes).
