  • 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.

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

Liked Good fishing

Disliked Not very good very good toilets and showers and no shop

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: This traveller didn’t not read the site description when booked, we do not advertise that we have a shop on the grounds. Although we did help him out with some washing up liquid which he needed from the shop to help where we can.
Also Borrowed and never returned (STOLEN) glassware
Disabled toilet key again never returned after us asking for it back and advising him we only had 1 key. We now have to get a locksmith out to get new barrels.
Again shower were cleaned in the morning and deep cleaned at the end of the night.
This review is unacceptable as is his actions on site!

Liked Nice site. Well kept. Owners who have just taken over the site are lovely. Not a lot do nearby unless you drive or are willing to walk (which I love) Ewloe castle and wepre park are a must.

Cafe is nice, breakfasts are good quality. Maybe open in the evening as there is nothing within a 1 mile radius. The sausages they serve are the best!!

Didn’t bother me but the A55 is not too far so there is traffic noise but it was not an issue.

I think the only thing I would say is that the toilets and shower block are lovely but need a proper cleaning regime.

Also not a big thing but some sort of recycling for the rubbish would be good

Great stay

Liked Stopped off for our first night in Wales. Was contacted by Dan on the way to confirm arrival time. When arrived, very friendly and welcoming with him and his daughter. The facilities were good, the breakfast blew me away. Highly recommend. It was a quiet site, easy to find and navigate around. I'd go back if in the area.

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.
