General view of site
Lakeside pitches
Exterior
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 lake; café and licensed bar with background music on site
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 10 lakes around its 60-acre site, catering for everyone from kids and beginners to pros (who may like to wrestle with the 60-pound whopper that lives in the catfish lake…) 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. During high season only, there is a café serving tasty food and a licensed bar with background music (these two are open at select times on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays). On site, there are also indoor and outdoor seating areas and plenty of areas to walk (a plus for dog owners, as the site's 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.

Laura M.

Madoc Lake FHU cement/asphalt travel trailer campsite (waterside)

Liked Pitches are amazing, full hook up, water, picnic bench and fire pit each. Lots of space for car parking. Amazing views and calm atmosphere. Lovely car area with little play area and live music on the Saturday we stayed. Friendly staff.

Disliked The facilities need cleaning and restocking more often. They need updating. Showers could do with a revamp and maybe more of them.

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.
