On the lake

  • Lakeside site with 60 acres, 10 minutes' drive away from Wrexham
  • Chester, Llangollen and three golf courses within half an hour's drive
  • Fishing lakes; café and licensed bar with seasonal opening hours
Finding a secluded spot surrounded by mature woodlands in north Wales is a fine idea in itself – but it gets even better here if you’re into your fishing. And that’s because Commonwood Leisure has eight fishing lakes around its 60-acre site, as well as a swimming lake with a lakeside sauna. Not fussed by fishing? This lakeside setting should be pretty splendid for you too: there’s plenty of space to relax by the water, taking in the views and lighting up a barbecue or firepit for warm evenings. Getting out and about should be straightforward as well: the site is five minutes’ drive away from the village of Holt (for pubs, cafés and an excellent farm shop) and 10 minutes from the centre of Wrexham. It’s all set up to be as straightforward as possible at this well-maintained park too. On site is the Acorn bar and café, serving tasty food with background music (these two are open at select times on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays during high season; opening days, times and menu items are reduced during low season). On some weekends, there's live music and bouncy castles at the bar and café. There are also indoor and outdoor seating areas and plenty of areas to walk (a plus for dog owners, as the site is dog-friendly). If walking’s not such a hit with the kids, they can get stuck into rural life by spending some time with the herd of friendly pygmy goats on site.

What customers say

This well-kept spot offers big, roomy sites with great lake views. Visitors loved the friendly staff, clean facilities, and the awesome swimming lake. The bar and pizza were hits, and it's a top pick for anglers. A few noted the toilets/showers could use more units and better upkeep.

Fishing Canal powered cement/asphalt and grass travel trailer campsite

Liked toilet facilities were modern and clean . site staff were friendly and helpful bar facilities and social area were useful during periods of bad weather. were very accommodating over last minute booking for friends travelling nearby. handy for travelling to Wrexham and Chester

Disliked nothing regarding the site although sat-nav (Google maps) sent us on unsuitable route on approaching the location. if travelling again would set sat nav to the nearby savvy fox at holt to avoid single track roads the site is signposted from there. Wifi on site but limited coverage

Local attractions

Fancy a different outdoor activity? Head to Farndon (five minutes’ drive) to launch kayaks, take your clubs along to Wrexham’s golf course (five minutes), or head to the eastern side of Snowdonia National Park for watersports and walks around Lake Bala (55 minutes). If you’re keen to explore historic places on your break, start with a wander around the huge manor and elegant gardens at the National Trust’s Erddig estate (20 minutes), then carry on to Chirk Castle (25 minutes) to see a medieval fort updated with 18th-century features. The area around Llangollen (25 minutes) has plenty to see too, including Castell Dinas Brân and the Pontcysyllte Aqueduct. Kids after something more geared to their tastes? Try an outing to Chester Zoo (25 minutes) or a tasty trip to The Ice Cream Farm (20 minutes). Wrexham also has a swimming pool, bowling and the Xplore science museum for damp days.
