Great campsite but let down by the potty mouthed families that attend!
Primitive grass campsite (large)
Liked Lovely spacious pitches, right by the park.
Disliked The families that attend here are rude, loud and the to swear at all times of night and early morning! No respect for others either

Not our vibe, needs refurbishment of facilities and to empty the bins!
Powered grass campsite (XL)
Liked Large.
Good play areas for kiddies.
Never seen so many children, plenty to make friends.
Decent little site shop.
Wardens patrolling and polite, they seemed good with the kids.
Disliked Very dated facilities appear dirty and unkept.
The additional trailer facilities were cleanest but had ques. And ran out of toilet paper on occasions.
Very large site looking run down, largely due to the permanent pitched caravans which many of look scruffy.
Looked at the pool but didn't book, appeared small for size of site and not the cleanest surroundings.
Overflowing bins added to the wasp issue they seem to have. And bad smell.
Overgrown hedging and brambles lots of nettles so kiddies have to be careful.
Large family field was like a set of Shameless.....not our vibe.
Lucky we were pitched elsewhere.
Good luck relaxing if your on the family field on a busy weekend.

Great site. Friendly staff. Flat pitches.
Powered grass campsite (large, no pets)
Liked Pitches were well kept. Plenty of toilets and showers. Well stocked shop. Pool system worked well.
Disliked Orange field is a treak to washing up and CD facilities could do with a disposal option so when washing up in the tent you can dispose of the water. Pool was so cold not really heated.

Overall was a great week away and we would definitely return!
Powered grass campsite (large)
Liked The staff were friendly and helpful, very clean and a lovely place to go for some chilled family time. Wasn’t overly busy so great for our child with additional needs.
Disliked Pitch was hard to get pegs into but the weather cannot be helped :)

Amazing time, love the place and 100% would go back. Staff are amazing
Powered grass campsite (large)
Liked The staff are amazing and very approachable. Second time here, first was a weekend to trial. Was very lucky to be on the holidays and it was very quiet for the first 5 days. Kids entertainment (bottle top bingo) was outstanding I believe the adults had more time than the kids with it.
Disliked Not lower Lacon parks fault more the visitors. Rubbish left beside bins when there is plenty of room in the bins. Taking ownership of their children: some children running around causing havoc, children as young as 4 unattended running around while their parents sit and get drunk. Visitors not looking after the place and not cleaning up after themselves. Disclaimer I had 4 kids with me from 2-11 I am not a disgruntled old person having a go about children.

Great for Families!
Powered grass campsite (XL)
Liked Great for families, the facilities were great. Staff were all polite, pleasant and helpful.
Great location with Wem only being 10/15 mins away and Shrewsbury around 25/30 mins away.
We would definitely recommend.

Overall , level pitches made it easy to set up ,spotlessly clean
Powered grass campsite (large)
Liked The pitch was ample big enough for caravan awning and 2 cars with space to spare for chairs and tables plenty to keep the kids entertained . Friendly campers and staff, on site shop reasonably priced selling a wide range of items swimming pool, bar and club . And much more .
Disliked Only down side for us was the closest shower block had a problem with the hot water so the showers were only serviced with cold water
Recommend to friends Visit again
Large site best for revellers IMO
Powered grass campsite (small)
Liked Shop and Cafe onsite (opening hours could have been earlier)
Disliked Crowded, noisy, parties until the small hours even in the family pitches, wardens not enforcing rules such as children shouldn't be roaming round after 10pm, Cafe understaffed.
